Minibus Inspections & Checks
What are the maintenance requirements for your minibuses. Rivervale Minibus can provide everything you need.
Change to What Are Minibus Safety Inspections & Walk-Around Checks and why they are needed?
There is more to running a minibus than you may imagine.
You will need to have either a Section 19 Permit if you are a charitable or not-for-profit organisation, or a PSV Operator’s Licence if you are a commercial enterprise.
Either way, there are mandatory maintenance requirements beyond regular servicing and annual MOTs that both require. These include minibus safety inspections and walkaround checks.
Rivervale Minibus provides the services, and a free app, to make your life easier.
Minibus Safety Inspections
A Minibus Safety Inspection, sometimes called a 10-week safety inspection, should be carried out by a qualified engineer every 6 or 10 weeks (depending on the age of the vehicle) to identify any potential issues with the vehicle. Rivervale Minibus will complete these inspections on your premises.
Walkaround Checks
Walkaround checks are completed by the driver or transport manager either daily or before every journey to ensure there is no new damage or issue with the minibus before it goes on the road.
This check helps prevent issues on the road and flags any unreported damage. Rivervale has a free app to help complete and manage these walkaround checks.
