Periodic roadworthiness test and exhaust-gas analysis

Periodic roadworthiness test and exhaust-gas analysis

Roadworthiness and environmental protection - just some of the objectives targeted by legislation in the form of a mandatory periodic roadworthiness test and exhaust-gas analysis (emissions inspection).

Cars, for example, must go through periodic roadworthiness testing every two years. There TÜV SÜD experts sound out brakes, lights and other features to guarantee your safety. The emissions inspection by the experts at our TÜV SÜD Service Centres focuses on more than environmental protection. Excessive pollutant emissions, for example, may indicate a fault in your vehicle that could cause excessive fuel consumption.

How do I know when my vehicle is due for the next inspection? What documents do I have to take along? What regulations apply to vehicles with seasonal number plates? What do I have to do if the test reveals defects? Contact us - we’ll be happy to provide information.
