With Periodical Technical Inspection (PTI), you can ensure that your car, motorcycle, or camper remains safe, compliant with regulations, and roadworthy. Whether it's the initial inspection after three years for new cars or the regular HU every two years, we provide you with clear information about deadlines, sticker colors, typical defects, necessary documents, and follow-up inspections.
Cars and motorbikes belonging to private individuals generally have to undergo a general inspection every two years. New cars must be inspected for the first time after three years. If you miss the "MOT date" and do not renew your sticker in time, you can expect a fine when your vehicle is inspected. Don't let it come to that. Here you can find out everything you need to know about the main vehicle inspection and with our TÜV NORD MOT checklist you can prepare your vehicle for the MOT in the best possible way.
