Checks and the document issued

A roadworthiness inspection assesses vehicle safety, including brakes, steering, lights, tyres and other systems. A diagnostic card is issued under paragraphs 35–37. An emissions examination has a separate electronic report.

Repeat roadworthiness inspections

Under paragraphs 45–46, a repeat roadworthiness inspection may take place at the original or another centre. At the original centre, previously identified non-compliant items are checked and the fee covers the repeated checks. These provisions concern roadworthiness inspections and do not automatically apply to a separate emissions test.
