Description
Editable transport compliance toolkit
Turn the requirement into a working, evidenced system
PSV walkaround check sheet pads and PDF masters covering doors, ramps, lifts and passenger areas, with defect carry through built into every page.
A daily check written for passenger vehicles
A coach or bus is not a lorry with seats, and a goods vehicle checklist misses the items that put PSV operators in front of a Traffic Commissioner: doors that do not close, emergency exits blocked by luggage, a wheelchair lift that fails mid route. This PSV walkaround check sheet was written for passenger fleets, drawing on 25 years of DVSA encounters and maintenance investigations where the paperwork either saved the operator or sank them.
The difference between a generic form and a proper psv daily check shows up the first time an examiner boards the saloon and asks who checked the bell pushes.
What is inside
- A PSV walkaround check sheet in first use and daily formats, covering the chassis and cab items plus the passenger side of the vehicle.
- Dedicated sections for doors and sensitive edges, ramps and wheelchair lifts, priority seating, saloon lighting, bell pushes, emergency exits and fire extinguishers.
- Printable duplicate pads so the driver keeps a copy and the top sheet goes to the office.
- A PDF master for depots that scan or use tablets.
- A defect carry through box so yesterday’s reported item stays visible until it is signed off.
Who it is for
Bus, coach and community transport operators of any size, from a single minibus on a section 19 permit to a scheduled service fleet. Operators use the PSV walkaround check sheet to give every driver, including casual and agency cover, the same route around the vehicle and the same standard for what gets reported. Engineering managers like the carry through box because it closes the gap between the psv daily check and the workshop diary.
Format and updates
The PSV walkaround check sheet arrives as print ready pad artwork plus an editable Word master with a version control sheet, so you can add vehicle types, tail lift models and company branding, and record every amendment with a date and approver.

Questions about this pack
Does it cover accessibility equipment?
Yes. Ramps, lifts, kneeling systems and securement points have their own section, because accessibility defects are both a passenger safety issue and a frequent finding at PSV inspections.
Can we use it for minibuses?
Yes. The daily format works for minibuses run under a PSV licence or a permit, and the editable master lets you strike out items a smaller vehicle does not carry.
