Keeping on top of the maintenance of your vehicles should be a top priority for all owners and operators. Failing to spot the early signs of wear and tear or any potential issues can prove highly costly in the long run.
As a result, fleet operators should have a checklist of all the common issues that can arise with their vehicles, and they should be taking the time to go through this list of essential checks with drivers and those who look after the wellbeing of their fleet.
Key to keeping your vehicles in prime condition is the acronym FLOWER, which stands for:
Our best advice is to ensure regular maintenance checks are carried out on every vehicle within your fleet and this means assessing things like the state of tyres, that all lights are functioning correctly and that water/fluid levels are topped up every time you take a journey.
That said, fleet operators should be carrying out a more in-depth service of their vehicles in line with their manufacturer’s recommendations. In most cases, this equates to around every 12,000 miles or once a year, although there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to vehicle servicing.
A good rule of thumb is to keep an up-to-date log of all vehicle mileage; the more miles they cover, the more often they will need to be serviced.
