Driving once your vehicle inspection has run out carries the risk of an administrative fine and of the vehicle being taken off the road. Inspection appointments are booked online or by phone; going to a station without an appointment is possible too, but the wait can be long.
2027 note: A new company has won the tender to operate vehicle inspections, and the handover will take place on 15 August 2027. Until that date, procedures continue through the current operator; after the handover, the booking address and the contact channels may change. Before you book an appointment, check the current official page.
