What this sheet is for

Give a fault reported in passing somewhere to land, with a dated record of when it was raised, who received it and what happened next.

Who it is for

Households sharing a vehicle, and small operations where more than one person drives the same van or car.

How to use it

  1. Log the date, the vehicle and what was reported as soon as it is raised.
  2. Mark the urgency honestly — it decides how soon it gets looked at.
  3. Record who received the report and what action was taken.
  4. Date the resolved column only once the fault is actually dealt with.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: A place for anyone driving a shared, family or work vehicle to report a fault or concern, and for whoever looks after it to record what was done about it — so a report does not just stay as something said in passing.

A record of what you were told, not a safety assessment. This records what was reported and what was found. It does not assess roadworthiness or set any safety standard. If a fault affects safe driving, say so plainly in the urgency column and act on it directly — do not wait for the form to be seen.

Questions

Does this sheet decide whether a vehicle is safe to drive?

No. It records what was reported and what was found, nothing more. A fault that affects safe driving should be acted on directly, not left for someone to notice on a form.
