​

Brake operation
Steering operation
Wiper operation
Headlight, Taillight and indicator check
Internal and external mirror inspection
Seatbelt inspection
Windscreen inspection
​
WEEKLY
​
Tyre tread depth
Tyre inspection
Oil Level
Coolant level
Brake fluid level
Battery condition
Washer levels
Horn operation
​
​
AS REQUIRED
​
Servicing in line with manufacturers guidelines
MOT when applicable
Air conditioning system
​
In addition to this, I always carry in my car:
​
First Aid Kit
Water
Warning Triangle
Mobile phone
Spare Tyre and Jack
Torch (Flashlight)
​
My tuition car is fitted with He-Man dual controls (an extra clutch and brake on the front passenger side) so I can intervene if necessary if I feel the learner is not handling a situation themselves. I also have an additional internal mirror for rear observation.
