Inspection

Inspection means that a vehicle is checked regularly so that its use does not endanger traffic safety. A roadworthiness inspection must be carried out annually for cars that are older than 5 years. New cars should be inspected after 3 years, then after 2 years, and annually thereafter. Any problems that are discovered need to be fixed and major faults may require a re-inspection to be carried out after a short period of time. Some of the aspects that are checked during the inspection are:Exterior of the car (Rear-view mirrors, reflectors, lights)Inside of the car (Belts, windows, lights) Bottom of the car (Axles, suspension, tires, steering)Brakes of the car (Strength, function)Environmental check (Emissions)Test drive (Speedometer, washers, horn)
