Who this template is for

Vehicle Inspection Form is built for garages, dealers and fleet operators who need to capture vehicle detail, service needs and contact preferences.

  • Garages, dealers and fleet operators working in automotive, travel & more.
  • Teams who need to capture vehicle detail, service needs and contact preferences without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing quotes based on missing vehicle information with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are vehicle owners and buyers — the form asks them 27 questions across 4 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of quotes based on missing vehicle information and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 18 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 5 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 5 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Were any defects found?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Describe each defect”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Were any defects found?” is Yes, “Defect severity” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Is the vehicle roadworthy?” is No, “Who has been notified” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Is the vehicle roadworthy?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “Vehicle taken out of service at”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Type of check” is Handover, “Driver taking over” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 5 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Does this replace a statutory daily check?

It records one. The legal requirement is set by your operator licence or local regulator, so align the checklist rows with the defect list they publish.

Can drivers complete it without signal?

Yes. Load the form at the depot; answers are held in the browser and submit when the device reconnects.

How do I stop everything being marked pass?

Make defect photographs required through the logic rule, and review the ratio of clean checks per driver — a driver who never finds anything is worth a conversation.

Can I use it for vehicle handovers?

Choose Handover as the check type and the incoming driver's name becomes required, giving you a clean condition record between the two people.

Is the Vehicle Inspection Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Vehicle Inspection Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Vehicle Inspection Form template ask for?

It asks 27 questions across 4 pages, 18 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Vehicle Inspection Form form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

Can I embed the Vehicle Inspection Form form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Can respondents upload files?

Yes. This template includes a file upload question, so respondents can attach documents or photos with their answers. You can adjust the accepted file types and size limits on that question.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
