181. Inspección del vehículo
Una inspección del vehículo es una comprobación oficial destinada a determinar si un vehículo es seguro, apto para circular y cumple los requisitos técnicos y medioambientales aplicables. Según el país y el tipo de vehículo, puede revisar frenos, neumáticos, dirección, suspensión, luces, emisiones, identificación y otros componentes relacionados con la seguridad. Las normas y periodicidad de las inspecciones varían entre países: algunos vehículos deben pasar inspecciones periódicas, mientras que otros también pueden requerirlas tras modificaciones importantes, un accidente, importación o cambio de propietario.
What is a vehicle inspection?
A vehicle inspection is an official examination of a vehicle to check whether it meets applicable safety, technical and environmental requirements.
What is checked during a vehicle inspection?
The inspection may include the brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, vehicle identification and emissions. The exact inspection points depend on the country, vehicle type and type of inspection.
How often does a vehicle need to be inspected?
The inspection interval depends on the country and type of vehicle. Some countries require annual inspections, while others use longer intervals based on the vehicle's age, use or condition.
What happens if a vehicle fails the inspection?
A vehicle that does not meet the required standards may need to be repaired and presented for another inspection. Serious defects may restrict or prohibit the vehicle from being used until they are repaired.
Do all countries have the same vehicle inspection rules?
No. Vehicle inspection systems differ between countries, including which vehicles must be inspected, how often inspections are required and which technical standards are checked.
Do electric vehicles need a vehicle inspection?
In countries with periodic vehicle inspections, electric vehicles are generally also subject to inspection. Some inspection points differ because electric vehicles do not have a conventional combustion engine or exhaust-emission system.
