Vehicle Registration: Vehicles are first registered in the Vehicles collection. Each vehicle record includes the following information:

Maintenance Tracking: When a vehicle receives service, a record is created in the Maintenance Logs collection with the following information:
Type of service performed
Service provider
Service cost
Mileage at service
Next service due date
The vehicle record automatically displays the maintenance history.
Inspection Monitoring: Each vehicle includes a Next Inspection Due date. The system automatically monitors inspection dates and flags vehicles whose inspections have passed.
When a vehicle inspection date has passed, the system automatically updates the vehicle status to Inspection Overdue.
