How often do you have to inspect a car that is more than 5 years old?

  • A new car must be inspected for the first time no later than 3 years (36 months) after the month when it was first taken into service.
  • The second inspection must be conducted no later than 2 years (24 months) after the month in which the first inspection was conducted.
  • Subsequent inspections must be conducted no later than 14 months after the month in which the most recent inspection was conducted.

To simplify, a car older than 5 years must be inspected every year. It is recommended to schedule an inspection the same month every year and treat the 2 extra months as a margin of safety.

Please note that the last day for inspection is always the last day of the month. This is because you start counting the month after the most recent inspection.
