Daily vehicle walkaround checks
Log daily walkaround/defect checks for site vehicles and plant - vans, pickups, dumpers, excavators, telehandlers and more - against a fixed 10-item checklist, and see exactly which vehicles need attention with a per-vehicle fleet status board.
One card per vehicle with checks logged: a compact streak strip of pass/fail squares in date order, plus that vehicle's current status shown prominently, so problem vehicles stand out immediately.
Lights, Tyres & wheels, Mirrors, Brakes, Horn, Seatbelts, Fluid levels, Bodywork/damage, Fire extinguisher and Warning lights/dashboard - each marked pass, fail or n/a.
Pass if every checklist item is pass or n/a - fail if any item fails, with a place to note the defect found. No manual tallying required.
Vehicle, driver, check date, the 10-item checklist, defects found and notes - one quick form, with every check landing in a searchable table with a delete action.
The Vehicles tab lists every vehicle with total checks, pass/fail counts and its most recent result, sorted so vehicles needing attention surface first.
The Summary tab totals checks logged, pass/fail counts, checks logged this week/month and vehicles with an active/unresolved defect, alongside a full searchable check history.
Copy a plain-text summary of totals and the per-vehicle breakdown to the clipboard, or export a standalone HTML file to keep or share.
Light/dark theme remembers your choice, and two rotating sample check logs - each spanning several vehicles with a deliberate spread of pass/fail checks - let you explore the fleet status board before logging your own.

One card per vehicle that has at least one check logged. Each card shows a compact streak strip - one small square per logged check for that vehicle, in date order oldest to newest, green for pass and red for fail - plus that vehicle's current status (Pass, Fail, or "No check today") shown prominently. Vehicles with the most recent failures or no checks logged recently surface first.
A fixed 10-item checklist covering the usual daily walkaround points: Lights, Tyres & wheels, Mirrors, Brakes, Horn, Seatbelts, Fluid levels, Bodywork/damage, Fire extinguisher, and Warning lights/dashboard. Each item is marked pass, fail, or n/a.
A check passes if every checklist item is marked pass or n/a. If any single item is marked fail, the whole check is recorded as a fail, and you can note the defect found.
No. This is a record-keeping tool for logging daily vehicle walkaround checks only - it does not replace a proper vehicle maintenance/servicing programme, does not verify that any defect found was actually rectified, and is not a substitute for statutory vehicle inspection/MOT requirements or your organisation's own vehicle safety policy.
