odoo 8 ParseError: "ValidateError Field(s) `arch` failed against a constraint: Invalid view definition

I'm trying to install a module in Odoo 8, and receive the following error:

According to the error the offending part of the module seems to be:

Found posts about plenty of similar errors with varying solutions which all seem to differ but none seem to work for me. What should I do?

Edit

Cleaned up first code block and replaced with full error in the second after applying 

<xpath expr="/form/sheet/group[@string='General Properties']" position="after">

as suggested in the comment below, my error is as follows:

I was getting the same error "Field(s) arch failed against a constraint: Invalid view definition", I was using field from another module which needs to be listed in the 'depends' in openerp.py file. hope this helps.

View inheritance

Instead of modifying existing views in place (by overwriting them), Odoo provides view inheritance where children "extension" views are applied on top of root views, and can add or remove content from their parent.

An extension view references its parent using the inherit_id field.

Tip

When matching a single element, the position attribute can be set directly on the element to be found. Both inheritances below will give the same result.

<xpath expr="//field[@name='field_name']" position="after">
    <field name="new_field" />
</xpath>

<field name="field_name" position="after">
    <field name="new_field" />
</field>

Page can not be appended after group, you need to put it in side sheet or after/before any other page.

<xpath expr="/form/sheet/group[@string='General Properties']" position="after">

Update this line to 

<page string="existing page string" position="after">
    <!-- add your page here -->
</page>

Very important thing in view inheritance is PRIORITY, but seems mostly ignored.

<field name="priority" eval="50" />

Priority defines when your view are going to be executed for creation while there are parent child hierarchies available.

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="inherited_fleet_vehicle_form_view">
    <field name="name">Inherited Fleet Vehicle Form</field>
    <field name="model">fleet.vehicle</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="fleet.fleet_vehicle_form"/>
    <field name="priority" eval="50" />
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <xpath expr="//label[@for='tag_ids']" position="before">
              <label for="internal_number" class="oe_edit_only"/>                      
            <h2>
                <field name="internal_number" class="oe_inline"/>       
            </h2>
             <label for="is_trailer" class="oe_edit_only"/>                 
             <field name="is_trailer" string="Is Trailer" help="Mark this if the vehicle is a trailer"/>
        </xpath>
        <sheet position="inside">
            <page string="Transport sales">
                <field name="sales_order_ids" readonly="1">
                    <tree editable="bottom">
                        <field name="sale_order_id"/>
                        <field name="sales_date"/>
                        <field name="partner_departure_id"/>
                        <field name="partner_destination_id"/>
                        <field name="delivery_date"/>
                        <field name="return_date"/>
                    </tree>
                </field>
            </page>
        </sheet>
    </field>
</record>

Error shows that the path you defined is not found in parent view(fleet_vehicle_form).

You need to correct that xpath.

As you using Odoo- v8.0,

<xpath expr="/form/sheet/notebook/page[@string='General Properties']" position="after">

change this xpath with the below one...

<xpath expr="/form/sheet/group[@string='General Properties']" position="after">

There is no notebook & page tags in parent view(fleet_vehicle_form). So, that's why it gives you error.
