One log for the whole fleet – what is due, what is broken and what it costs

Enter each vehicle once, then log services, walkaround checks, fuel and damage as they happen. The workbook works out the next NCT or CVRT, the next service by km and date, which vans are off the road, fuel use per 100 km and the cost per km of every vehicle.

In most Irish firms with a handful of vans the fleet lives in someone's head: the CVRT is remembered when the disc runs out, the service when a warning light comes on, and fuel receipts go into a shoebox. It works – until a van is stopped with an expired CRW, a driver's licence lapsed months ago, or nobody can say what the old Transit is actually costing.

This workbook puts it in one place. The VEHICLES sheet holds each van, car or truck with its NCT or CVRT date, motor tax, insurance and service interval; the logs for services, walkaround checks, fuel and damage fill in the odometer, the next service, open defects and the costs. Every vehicle and driver gets a status – OK, due soon, overdue or off road – and the dashboard shows the next twelve months of deadlines and the cost per km.

Without a template

  • CVRT, NCT and motor tax dates remembered only when the disc runs out
  • Walkaround defects reported on paper and never followed up
  • Fuel receipts in a shoebox – no idea which van uses too much
  • No real figure for what each vehicle costs per km

With ExcelGrand

  • Due dates with warnings and one status per vehicle
  • Defects tracked until repaired; dangerous ones take the van off the road
  • Full-to-full consumption per 100 km with 'High use' flags
  • Cost per vehicle, per km and per month, updated from the logs

Frequently asked questions

What should be included in a vehicle maintenance log?

For each vehicle: registration, make and model, odometer, and every service, repair, inspection and test with the date, mileage, garage and cost. For vans and trucks add the daily walkaround checks with any defects and when they were fixed, and keep the NCT or CVRT, motor tax and insurance dates in view. This workbook has a sheet for each and links them by reg. number.

How do you record vehicle maintenance?

Log each job as it happens – date, odometer reading, type of work, garage, invoice and cost – and note what triggered it (a service interval, a defect, a test). In SERVICE & REPAIRS a 'Service' line automatically sets the next service by km and by date in the VEHICLES sheet, and a safety inspection sets the next one.

What does the RSA walkaround check check?

The daily walkaround covers the parts a driver can see and test before setting off: tyres and wheel fixings, lights and indicators, brakes and steering, mirrors, glass and wipers, fluid levels and leaks, bodywork, doors and load security, dashboard warnings and horn, and the discs and safety equipment. The WALKAROUND CHECKS sheet records these 8 areas; check the RSA's current guidance for your vehicle type.

When is a van due its CVRT, and a car its NCT?

Commercial vehicles such as vans and jeeps up to 3,500 kg, trucks and minibuses are tested one year after first registration and every year after that. Private cars have their NCT at 4 years, then every 2 years until they are 10, then yearly. Type the expiry date from the certificate; if it is missing, the workbook estimates it from the first registration and highlights it.

Is there a free vehicle maintenance log template in Excel?

Yes – several sites offer simple logs with a date, mileage and cost column. This one adds Irish due dates (NCT, CVRT, motor tax, insurance), service reminders by km, walkaround checks with defect follow-up, full-to-full fuel consumption, driver licence and CPC checks, damage and claims, and cost per km per vehicle, with sample data so you can see it working.

Does it make our fleet compliant with RSA rules?

No spreadsheet can do that. It helps you keep dated records of checks, defects, repairs and tests and spot what is due or overdue, but it does not replace the NCT or CVRT, a competent mechanic, your drivers' checks or advice on which rules apply to your vehicles.
