What Are Daily Driver Walkaround Checks?
Daily driver walkaround checks involve a thorough visual inspection of a vehicle before it’s driven on public roads. These checks help ensure that any defects are identified and addressed before the vehicle is in use—reducing the risk of accidents, mechanical failures, and compliance breaches.
The checks should be conducted before the vehicle's first use each day and cover all safety-critical components, including:
Lights and indicators
Tyres and wheels
Brakes and brake lines
Windscreen and mirrors
Steering and suspension
Load security
Number plates and reflectors
Horn and wipers
Fuel, oil, and coolant levels
Bodywork and trailer integrity
