SmartCheck Pro: Inspection Sections & Checks – Full Reference

Complete list of all checks for Passenger Vehicle, Motorcycle, and Trailer inspections

Updated over a week ago

✅ How to use this reference

This guide lists every check available in SmartCheck Pro for Passenger Vehicle, Motorcycle, and Trailer inspections so inspectors (and Axel) have full context while working through a check sheet.

  • Vehicle Details is the same starting section for all inspection types.

    • Enter Registration, VIN (with validation), and Odometer.

    • You may see warnings if odometer entries are unusually high or a VIN mismatch is detected.

  • Each check supports Pass, Fail, Warning, or N/A.

  • Use comments and measurements where required (e.g., brake percentages, tyre tread depth).

  • Sections turn green when all items inside that section have been completed and passed.

  • Pass Remaining is available when you’ve verified remaining items and are ready to finalise.

  • In a Recheck, previously passed items can be updated if needed (they can fail on re-inspection).

⚠️ Important: This article is for reference only. It may be updated from time to time and may not reflect the most current check sheet sections and checks within the SmartCheck Pro platform. Detailing this information also allows our automated systems (including Axel) to better answer questions and provide accurate, context-rich responses. Always follow the latest guidance displayed in SmartCheck Pro when performing inspections.
