'Memorize' 5 tips when going for car inspection

Carefully prepare necessary documents; clearly understand the vehicle inspection process; self-check and repair the vehicle in advance are some tips to help drivers save time and make vehicle inspection easier.

1. Try to avoid holidays and weekends

Before holidays, New Year or at the beginning of the week, the number of vehicles inspected is often higher than usual.

Some inspection centers have noted that the number of vehicles inspected before holidays or at the beginning of the week is often higher than usual. Therefore, if car owners are proactive about time, they can avoid those times to avoid long waiting times.

2. Prepare necessary documents carefully

Car owners can make an appointment before bringing their car for inspection to make things easier. However, you should make sure you have all the necessary documents such as the vehicle registration book, vehicle registration, identity card, civil insurance certificate or toll receipts.

3. Understand the inspection process clearly

The State requires that inspection centers must perform five inspection steps.

The state requires inspection centers to perform the following five inspection steps: brake inspection, emission and noise inspection, vehicle inspection, overall inspection, chassis and suspension inspection.

In addition, the vehicles that need to be inspected will depend on the displayed kilometers and age to be divided into 2 categories as follows: over 7 years/under 6 years and under 60,000 km. In addition, the inspectors will rely on whether the vehicle has been in a collision or not to check the electrical system, engine, important systems of the vehicle... In case there is no serious damage, the vehicle only needs to be checked and maintained to meet the requirements.

4. Self-inspection before registration

Take your car to a professional garage for maintenance in advance to ensure it is always in the best condition.

Based on the above steps, car owners can check their cars in advance to avoid unnecessary "torture".

• Clean the license plate and keep the exterior of the vehicle as clean as possible to facilitate identification.

• Clean the inside of the car, including under the hood (windshield washer fluid, engine coolant, brake fluid, etc.), chassis number, and engine number.

• Check your tires carefully, making sure they are free of misalignment, wear, and have adequate pressure. Also check your headlights for any problems.

During the body inspection, make sure that parts such as handbrake, wiper, water spray, horn, seat belt, door lock, door latch... always work smoothly. Especially, most importantly, make sure that all the indicator lights on the dashboard are not lit or showing any unusual errors.

5. Before vehicle inspection, take care of your "beloved car"

You can bring your "beloved car" to a professional maintenance garage in advance to ensure that the car is always in the most perfect condition. When bringing the car to be inspected, you may have to wait in line for a long time because the inspector will check to the point where you need to fix that, not just point out all the errors of the car.
