Vehicle inspection
Safety cannot be maintained without limitations
As a German saying goes: "My car is due for its TÜV inspection." The law says: "All vehicles with a registration plate must periodically be tested for adherence to traffic safety regulations." And common sense adds: "Only if my car is safe, can I sit behind the wheel without worrying." What's meant is one and the same thing: the general inspection.
Don't leave your safety to chance - leave it to an expert
Only officially recognized experts, testers, or engineers may perform the general inspection. Trust the competence and experience of TÜV NORD Mobility. Make an appointment with your TÜV STATION - preferably right away.
Our independent experts check the following:
- Brakes
- Wheels/tyres
- Frame/body
- Exhaust system
- Steering
- Lighting/electrical systems
- Windows/mirrors
- Accessories
- Pedals, seats, seat belts
- Electronic safety systems
Testers do not perform any disassembly work.
The inspection result: Explanations are part of the service
Our experts explain in detail the results of the inspection and discuss with you the risks and dangers.
You will also receive a written inspection report. Please keep this until the next general inspection.
What do I do if a re-inspection is necessary?
Please bring your vehicle for re-inspection within one month. Otherwise, the testers will have to perform a full inspection all over again. Please correct even minor defects before re-inspection. Only then can we issue a new vehicle inspection sticker!
Can I postpone the date for the general inspection?
It's a matter of safety. You should always come on time to the general inspection. You can determine the next date from the round vehicle inspection sticker on the rear license plate. You will not gain any time by missing the deadline because our testers must backdate the sticker for the next general inspection.
