BusInspection.com.au provides independent, depot-based bus condition inspections and reporting for bus operators and asset owners.
Our inspections provide a clear, practical understanding of bus condition to support maintenance planning, risk management, and fleet decision-making.
Our inspections are conducted by qualified heavy vehicle mechanics with extensive experience operating and maintaining diesel and compressed natural gas bus fleets.

We carry out structured physical condition inspections of buses and prepare clear, evidence-based reports.
Our services are suited to:
Inspections are completed onsite at your depot and coordinated to minimise operational disruption.
Each inspection involves a systematic review of the bus, with a condition rating framework consistently applied across all inspected components.
Typical inspection scope includes:
The inspection approach is non-intrusive and based on visual assessment, condition indicators, and observed deterioration.
We apply a clear and consistent condition rating system (typically 1 to 5) to each inspected element.
This allows:
All ratings are supported by written observations and photographic evidence.
Following inspection, we provide a structured condition report that typically includes:
Reports are written in plain language and designed for practical use by operators and maintenance teams.
