The Euroautos Inspection Form organises every vehicle assessment into eight structured sections, each targeting a distinct area of the vehicle. Inspectors work through the sections in order, marking each checklist item as OK, Attention, or Critical and adding free-text notes or photos where needed. Sections can be collapsed and expanded at any time, and the form automatically tracks completion progress so that nothing is accidentally skipped before the report is generated.

Section status indicators

Each checklist item carries one of three status values:
StatusColourMeaning
OKGreenNo defect found; item meets standard
AttentionAmberMinor issue noted; monitor or advise customer
CriticalRedImmediate attention required; may affect roadworthiness
A section is considered complete only when every item within it has been assigned a status. The progress bar at the top of the form reflects the number of completed sections out of eight.

The eight sections

1 — Vehicle Information

  • Registration plate
  • Make and model
  • Year of manufacture
  • Current mileage (km)
  • Exterior colour
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
  • Customer name and contact details
  • Date and time of inspection
  • Assigned inspector
The Vehicle Information section is always mandatory and must be completed before any other section can be saved. The registration plate and VIN are used as the primary identifiers for the inspection record.

2 — Exterior Condition

  • Bodywork — dents, scratches, corrosion/rust, panel alignment
  • Glass — windscreen (chips, cracks), side windows, rear window, sunroof (if fitted)
  • Mirrors — wing mirrors (condition, adjustment, glass), rear-view mirror
  • Headlights — beam alignment, lens condition, bulb function (main, dip, full beam)
  • Taillights — brake lights, reversing lights, number plate light
  • Indicators — front, rear, side repeaters, hazard function
  • Paint condition — fading, oxidation, previous respray evidence
  • Seals and trim — door seals, roof rails, exterior badges

3 — Interior Condition

  • Dashboard — warning lights at ignition, trim condition, cracks or damage
  • Seats — driver and passenger wear, tears, adjustment mechanisms, headrests
  • Seatbelts — retraction, locking, webbing condition (all seating positions)
  • Steering wheel — wear, horn function, airbag warning light
  • Pedals — brake, clutch (if applicable), accelerator — feel and wear
  • Carpets and floor mats — condition, fitment, no obstruction to pedals
  • Infotainment system — screen function, Bluetooth, reverse camera (if fitted)
  • Air conditioning — cooling/heating function, cabin air filter indicator
  • Interior lighting — courtesy lights, map lights, boot light

4 — Engine & Mechanical

  • Engine oil — level (dipstick or electronic readout), colour and condition
  • Coolant — level in expansion tank, colour, no contamination
  • Transmission fluid — level and condition (automatic gearboxes)
  • Power steering fluid — level and condition (hydraulic systems)
  • Windscreen washer fluid — level
  • Belts and hoses — drive belts (cracking, fraying), coolant hoses (perishing, leaks)
  • Exhaust system — visible corrosion, loose mountings, smoke colour at start-up
  • Engine bay — evidence of oil or fluid leaks, unusual odours
  • Engine mounts — visible condition and security

5 — Electrical Systems

  • Battery — terminal corrosion, secure fitment, voltage (if test equipment available)
  • Alternator — charging warning light, belt condition
  • Fuses and relays — fuse box cover present, evidence of blown fuses or non-standard additions
  • Dashboard warning lights — all warning lights extinguish after engine start (note any that remain on)
  • Wipers — front and rear wiper function, blade condition, wash jets
  • Horn — audible function
  • Central locking — all doors, boot and fuel cap (if applicable)
  • Electric windows — all windows operate fully up and down
  • Heated rear window — function and element condition

6 — Tyres & Wheels

  • Tread depth — measured at three points across each tyre (inner, centre, outer)
  • Tyre pressure — checked cold against manufacturer specification
  • Tyre condition — cuts, bulges, uneven wear patterns, sidewall damage
  • Wheel condition — alloy or steel rim damage, corrosion, bent rim
  • Wheel nuts/bolts — correct torque, no missing fasteners, locking wheel nut key present
  • Spare tyre — condition, pressure, jack and locking nut key in boot
  • Tyre size and type — matching across axles, season-appropriate
Legal minimum tread depth: The legal minimum tyre tread depth in Spain (and across the EU) is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tread width. Euroautos recommends advising customers to replace tyres at 3 mm to allow for safe wear before reaching the legal limit. Any tyre measuring below 1.6 mm must be marked Critical.

7 — Brakes

  • Front brake pads — thickness (mm), wear indicator status
  • Rear brake pads / shoes — thickness (mm), wear indicator status
  • Front brake discs — surface condition (scoring, cracking, corrosion), disc thickness vs. minimum specification
  • Rear brake discs / drums — surface condition and thickness
  • Brake fluid — level in reservoir, colour (dark fluid indicates moisture absorption)
  • Brake lines and hoses — visible corrosion, chafing, leaks at caliper unions
  • Handbrake / EPB — holding ability on gradient, travel (clicks or electronic function)
  • Brake pedal feel — firm, spongy, excessive travel, pulsation noted

8 — Final Checklist

  • Test drive observations — unusual noises, vibrations, pulling to one side, gearchange quality
  • OBD/diagnostic check — any stored fault codes noted (if diagnostic equipment used)
  • Additional findings — free-text field for anything not captured in earlier sections
  • Overall recommendation — inspector selects one of: Pass, Advisory, or Fail
  • Inspector notes to customer — summary message included in the customer-facing report
  • Inspector signature — drawn on-screen using the signature pad
  • Customer signature — optional; customer signs to acknowledge receipt of findings
The Final Checklist section becomes available only after all seven preceding sections have been completed. The Overall Recommendation field is required before the inspection can be submitted and a report generated.

Use the section tabs at the top of the form to jump directly to any section. Sections with incomplete items are indicated by a grey dot; completed sections show a green tick. A red dot indicates at least one Critical item has been recorded in that section. You can save progress at any time using the Guardar borrador (Save draft) button — the inspection will be stored locally and can be resumed from the dashboard.
