Yes, roadworthiness tests are compulsory for all vehicles on the road, with a few exceptions such as temporarily immobilised vehicles.

A roadworthiness test is necessary if the initial roadworthiness test reveals significant deficiencies. The roadworthiness test must be carried out within one month of its appointment. If the vehicle is due for a re-inspection later than one month, a full inspection will be carried out.

The re-inspection must be carried out at the same inspection point where the original inspection took place. The vehicle’s registration certificate and identity document must be presented at the inspection point. The vehicle may also be taken to the inspection point by a third party.

Any deficiencies identified during the original inspection should be corrected before the re-inspection. It is advisable to check the vehicle’s lights, windscreen, various fluids (oils, washer fluid, etc.), safety equipment (seat belts, audible alarm, etc.) and accessories (safety harnesses, fire extinguisher, safety knob, car pharmacy).

Common faults that lead to the need for re-inspection include worn tyres, cracked windscreen, faulty lights and faulty safety equipment. Tyres should be season-appropriate and have adequate tread depth. The windscreen must be free of cracks and crazing that obstruct the driver’s view.

The revalidation is temporary and will remain valid until the identified deficiencies have been corrected. If the re-inspection is carried out before the end of the current periodic inspection or up to 30 days after the end of the inspection period, only the defects previously identified will be checked. If more than one month has elapsed since the re-inspection was ordered, a full roadworthiness test will be carried out.
