How Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection Works
The inspection procedure strictly follows current regulatory requirements.
During the process, the vehicle undergoes:
- Mechanical safety check. Inspection of structural components and the vehicle’s main systems.
- Brake system testing. Analysis of braking efficiency and response using certified equipment.
- Emissions and exhaust system control. Verification of environmental parameters in compliance with legal limits.
- Inspection of accessories and safety devices. Check of lights, signals, tyres, and mandatory equipment.
All operations are carried out by our qualified technicians in coordination with authorised officials. Upon successful completion, the official compliance documentation is issued immediately, certifying the vehicle’s roadworthiness.
Mandatory Annual Inspection: What the Regulations Say
For industrial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes, as well as their trailers and semi-trailers, the law requires a mandatory annual inspection.
Failure to meet the deadline may result in:
- Administrative penalties
- Suspension from road use
- Vehicle impoundment

Carrying out the inspection within the required timeframe helps protect the company, avoid operational disruptions, and ensure business continuity.
