Vehicle Daily Check
Daily Vehicle Checklist App for UK drivers and fleets
A daily vehicle checklist app guides a walkaround on your phone before you drive. You mark each section, photograph defects, and submit a record that stays locked with a time. When someone asks, you can prove the check with a PDF instead of a lost paper pad.
Why do a daily check?
Five minutes before you drive can catch a bald tyre, a dead light or damaged bodywork before it becomes a roadside stop or a defect you should have caught. For taxi, PHV and fleet drivers, a dated record also helps when licensing or management asks what you did.
Knowing what to check is the easy bit. Keeping a record you can find later is where paper and spreadsheets fall short.
What to check each day
Use this as a walkaround list. In the app, the same areas become Correct / Faulty taps instead of a blank form.
- 1
Lights & indicators
Headlights, sidelights, brake lights, indicators, hazards and number-plate lights.
- 2
Tyres & wheels
Condition, obvious damage, wheel nuts and anything that looks under-inflated.
- 3
Brakes
Footbrake feel and handbrake hold before you move off.
- 4
Mirrors, glass & wipers
Clear view ahead and behind; washers and blades working.
- 5
Bodywork & plates
Visible damage, panels secure, plates readable, doors shut properly.
- 6
Fluids, horn & interior
Warning lights, horn, seatbelts, and any obvious leak under the vehicle.
From checklist to a record you can show
Doing the walkaround is step one. Finding it later is step two. Every submitted check is stored by date, locked after you submit, and available as a PDF.
- Works on phone, tablet or desktop, no app store required
- Optional photos with each inspection
- History by date, with no more lost pads
- PDF for managers, operators or licensing
How to run a check in four steps
1. Open today’s check
Start the checklist for your vehicle in Vehicle Daily Check.
2. Walk the vehicle
Mark each area Correct or Faulty: lights, tyres, brakes, mirrors, bodywork and the rest.
3. Add photos if you need them
Dashboard, exterior or a fault, so the record shows what you saw.
4. Submit, then export when asked
Lock the day with a declaration. Download a PDF any time for an audit or licensing request.
For fleet operators
Drivers use the same daily checklist on their phones. You invite them, cover their seats, and see who checked today in Compliance — without chasing paper or WhatsApp.
Common questions
- What is a daily vehicle checklist app?
- A daily vehicle checklist app guides a walkaround on your phone before you drive. You mark each section, photograph defects, and submit a record that stays locked with a time. You can then export a PDF when you need to prove the check.
- Who needs one in the UK?
- Anyone driving for work: fleets, taxi and PHV drivers, and operators. Licensing teams often want to see that checks are happening and recorded.
- Is paper still OK?
- It can be, if you fill it in properly and keep it safe. In practice pages go missing or get filled in later. A phone checklist with a locked time and PDF is easier to show when someone asks.
- How long does the app take?
- Most people finish in about three minutes once they know the flow: open today’s check, mark each section, add photos if you want, submit.
