During a walk-around inspection, the focus is primarily on the components that are directly visible from the front of the vehicle. This includes elements such as the wipers, lights, and reflectors, all of which are essential for safety and visibility while driving.

Wipers are crucial for maintaining visibility during adverse weather conditions, while lights are necessary for signaling and being seen by other drivers. Reflectors enhance visibility at night or in low-light conditions, making all of these components critical for a safe operation of the vehicle.

In contrast, the rear axle is not visible from the front of the vehicle. It's located at the back and is not part of the immediate inspection process for the front section. Therefore, including the rear axle in a walk-around inspection of the front does not align with the objective of ensuring the visible components are functioning properly before the vehicle is operated.
