Technical inspection of vehicles in Tallinn

Everything you need to get your vehicle inspected.

A roadworthiness test is one of the most important responsibilities of every driver to ensure a safe road culture for all road users. Compulsory inspections are carried out regularly for different types of vehicles, but depend on the age and type of vehicle.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of what vehicle inspections are, how they are carried out and how to successfully pass a mandatory inspection.

What is checked during a roadworthiness test

The inspector will check the following parts of the vehicle:

• Checking the interior of the vehicle by checking the following items
  levers/handles to be attached to the steering wheel column
• Switch for the headlamp and heater
• Sunshade and hood opening lever
• Gear lever and parking brake lever
• Window regulator switches and levers
• Seat belts, belt buckles and latches
• Seat adjustment switches or levers
• Fuel filler flap opening lever or switch and fuel filler cap
• Optional equipment
• Ignition key and vehicle registration documents
• Emergency exit switch (if fitted)

Car inspection and technical check

In addition to the regular roadworthiness test, we also carry out technical inspections, on request, on a component-by-component basis: brakes, chassis, lights, exhausts, shock absorbers.

It is a good idea to have a roadworthiness test carried out if you hear/feel any unusual sounds/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.
