STEERING
Check steering for excessive play. When checking for leaks underneath vehicle, check the major steering components to ensure that they are present and undamaged.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Check that: the fire extinguisher is of the correct type (it must contain water or foam and be marked BS 5423 or EN3 and have a minimum fire rating of at least 8A or 21B); the fire extinguisher is easily accessible; and the fire extinguisher is in good condition and is not discharged.
BODY INTERIOR
Check that: no exits are obstructed; nothing that a passenger may walk on in normal use will collapse or is defective or insecure; retractable steps work correctly; seats are all secure, undamaged and retract automatically when not in use (if designed to do so); parcel racks, grab rails, stanchions, guard rails, padded backrests and barriers are all in place (when known to be originally fitted) and are secure; engine interior covers are present and in a condition that doesn't allow fumes to enter the passenger compartment; interior lights are all present and working; wheelchair lifts/ramps (where installed) are working correctly; and ancillary equipment is not in a condition likely to endanger passengers.
BRAKES
Check that: the service brake pedal doesn't have excessive side play or missing, loose or incomplete anti-slip provision; and the parking brake works as intended.
REFLECTORS
Check that the reflectors are not: obscured; missing; broken; or of the wrong colour.
HEATING/VENTILATION
