BUS INSPECTIONS
& SAFETY CHECKS
Who we ARE
Victorian Bus Inspections may be a new name to you, but we have been around for over 35 years, under the name of Peninsula Diesel Repairs. We’ve been certified Heavy Vehicle Roadworthy inspectors for 15+ years and Light & Heavy Bus Inspectors for 6 years. Our dedicated truck & bus workshop is located on the Mornington Peninsula where we provide year round service to both small and large operators.
After listening to the industries’ struggle to find a convenient method to keep their buses compliant and obtaining a certified bus inspection, we decided to heavily invest in the expansion of our mobile service fleet which now includes sophisticated onsite testing equipment that almost no other provider possesses.
Our customers enjoy the convenience of fully trained bus inspectors with strong mechanical experience delivering onsite inspection services and providing full digital records to make compliance simple.
Backed by our Vicroads certification, we welcome any questions or enquiries as to how we can best help keep your buses safe and compliant on the road.
Certified Annual Bus Inspections Are Mandatory
What is a bus annual inspection?
The Bus Annual Inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a bus’s condition and safety features, mandated by law for all accredited bus operators. This essential inspection is conducted annually to ensure that the bus adheres to required safety standards.
Our team of qualified Heavy & Light bus Inspectors meticulously follow a digital checklist to perform these inspections. The items they check include:
Belts and Hoses
Braking System
Suspension & Steering
Exhaust System
Electrical Systems
Tyres
Safety Equipment
Interior & Exterior Inspection
The primary aim of the bus annual inspection is to identify any potential issues or faults that could compromise the safety of passengers, drivers, and other road users. By conducting these regular inspections, both authorities and bus operators collaborate to ensure that buses on the road are safe, well-maintained, and fully compliant with applicable regulations. This collective effort significantly reduces the risk of accidents, safeguarding public safety.
What is a bus quarterly inspection?
The Bus Quarterly Inspection is a regularly scheduled maintenance check performed on buses every three months or 10,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Its primary objective is to ensure the continued safety, reliability, and adherence to regulations. These inspections are mandated by law for all accredited bus operators, ensuring that the buses meet the required safety standards.
Our team of qualified mechanics conducts these inspections, meticulously following a digital checklist to examine and address any emerging issues since the previous inspection. The items checked during the inspection include:
Belts and Hoses
Braking System
Suspension & Steering
Exhaust System
Electrical Systems
Tyres
Safety Equipment
Interior & Exterior Inspection
The primary goal of these quarterly inspections is to proactively identify and address any potential issues, ensuring that your bus remains safe, reliable, and compliant with applicable standards.
As part of the service, Victorian Bus Inspections will provide you with a detailed digital report, including photos or videos of any items recorded as monitor/fail. This allows your mechanic to easily rectify these issues before the next inspection, ensuring the continuous safety and compliance of your bus.
