Our Duty of Care Visual Inspections are flexible and can be tailored to your company
in terms of frequency, location and inspection requirements.
Once an inspection is complete, we provide you with comprehensive management information
reports which will list and categorise any defects found. The reports also highlight
maintenance issues and provide evidence of corporate responsibility, in case of
any HSE investigation.
An inspection typically includes thorough checks of all the following:
- Engine
- Gearbox
- Clutch
- Driveshafts
- Suspension
- Cooling System
- Windscreen
- Steering
- Security
- Wheels
- Tyres
- Brakes
- Electrical
- Underbody
- Interior Trim
We’ll help your fleet earn its keep.
Vehicle faults not spotted in time can mean expensive repairs and costly time off
the road. They could also expose your drivers to danger, and yourself and your organisation
to hefty legal penalties. RAC Vehicle Inspections can save you valuable time and
money, and reduce many of the risks you face in running your fleet.
Finding faults before they become failures.
When you drive a company car it’s easy to forget to check the tyres, top up the
oil and refill the screenwash. Plus, with ever longer service intervals, many company
cars only get checked over once a year. Our experience tells us that’s just not
enough. Take one fleet recently inspected by RAC: out of 140 cars less than 21/2
years old, 31 would have failed an MOT test and 11 had faults which would have put
the driver on the wrong side of the law. More worryingly, 19 had dangerously faulty
brakes or steering – which could have put the driver on the wrong side of the road.
RAC is the UK’s largest and most experienced provider of inspection services, conducting
around 195,000 inspections a year, nationwide.
Every one of our 71 inspectors has a recognised industry qualification, plus membership
of IRTE/IMI or equivalent, and, most important of all, at least 8 years’ experience
in the motor trade.
