Minibus Maintenance

Pre-Use Inspections

Prior to each driver using the vehicle for the first time, on each day of operation, the vehicle should be inspected to ensure that all obvious safety critical items are in a satisfactory condition, and in full working order. A report book should be completed after each daily inspection and where appropriate, repairs initiated before the minibus is driven.

Defect Reporting

Drivers must have the provision to formally report, in writing, any defect that has occurred with the vehicle on each individual journey. A competent person must be assigned to receive and act upon these reports.

Vehicle Maintenance

Your minibus must be regularly inspected and maintained by professional vehicle technicians. A planned maintenance schedule should be drawn up with a maintenance provider with a signed agreement.
