    When do I have to undertake the PTI?

    It is compulsory for all vehicles to pass a Vehicle Technical Inspection.

    The time when you have to pass the inspection for the first time and the frequency of inspections thereafter, will vary according to the type and age of the vehicle. Request a pre-arranged appointment before the expiry date. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any queries.

    First inspection

    This will depend on the type of vehicle and when the vehicle was registered. You can find this information in your Vehicle registration document or log book.

    Subsequent inspections

    You can find the expiry date for your current Technical Inspection in different ways:

    • On the back of the PTI card.
    • On the last technical inspection report.
    • On the sticker.

    First inspection on private cars
