Strengthen fleet safety and compliance. Switch to electronic reporting with Geotab.
What are vehicle checks?
Vehicle checks are a formal report which confirm that a driver has completed an inspection on a commercial motor vehicle. Drivers must complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections and detail any mechanical defects they encounter. These inspections play an important part in improving road safety and maintaining fleet compliance.

Why are vehicle checks needed?
Daily walkaround safety checks are a legal obligation in the UK, with the aim of increasing safety and reducing the number of collisions, injuries and fatalities involving commercial vehicles. Mandatory vehicle checks improve road safety by enforcing vehicle inspections before and after every trip.
Who is responsible for completing an inspection?
Drivers are responsible for making sure that their vehicles or heavy goods vehicles are safe to drive before setting off on a journey. Operators and fleet managers must also carry out safety inspections before any vehicle is used for the first time, even if they are leasing, hiring or borrowing a vehicle.
