The purpose of the vechicle inspection for roadworthiness test is to ensure that the vehicle is in a safe and environmentally friendly condition for road use. A properly maintained vehicle in good working order and meeting all safety requirements is less likely to be involved in a road accident.

Incorrect set-up and inadequate maintenance not only damage the engine, but also the environment, causing increased pollution and fuel consumption. A sub-standard vehicle increases the likelihood of road accidents.

A quick reminder before coming in for a roadworthiness test

When you come in for a roadworthiness test, take your vehicle registration certificate with you, which will be endorsed after the test. If you are coming for a re-inspection, you will also need to take the previous inspection card.

Before you come in for the inspection, make sure that you have the following:

Fire extinguisher – the fire extinguisher will also be checked for expiry date. Click here for more information on car fire extinguisher requirements.
Check the vehicle fire extinguisher information for more details on how to check the fire extinguisher.

It is the responsibility of the inspector to check their presence and condition, so place them in a visible place, such as the boot of your car, before you come in for the inspection. Read more about the following information.

What is checked at the roadworthiness test

The inspector will check the following items in the passenger compartment:

• The steering wheel and the switch for the audible warning device.
• Levers/handles to be attached to the steering wheel column
• Light and heat blower switch
• Sun visor and hood opening lever
• Gearshift and parking brake lever
• Window regulator switches and levers
• Door handles (internal and external)
• Seat belts, seat belt buckles and latches
• Seat adjustment switches or levers
• Fuel tank door opening lever or switch and fuel tank cap
• Optional equipment
• Ignition key and vehicle registration documents.
• Emergency exit switch (if fitted)

If any of the above is found to be not in conformity, the fault must be rectified and a re-inspection carried out. If necessary, our experienced technicians will review and explain the faults found. It is important to us that our customers’ cars are in good condition and safe to drive.

During the inspection

At our service points, there is a comfortable customer waiting area where customers can feel at ease during the service. The waiting area is located at a safe distance (about 5 metres) from the vehicle inspection, but at the same time you can always keep an eye on your car.

Technical inspection

In addition to the regular roadworthiness test, we can also carry out a technical inspection, on request, of individual components: brakes, suspension, lights, exhausts, shock absorbers.

It is a good idea to have a roadworthiness test carried out if you hear/feel unusual noises/behaviour on the car, or before buying or selling the vehicle.

As a new service, we have added a paint thickness measurement, which provides information on the quality of a possible post-crash paint job.
