Inspection Results

A successful inspection means that your vehicle meets all required safety and environmental standards defined by regulations. During the inspection, key components such as brakes, suspension, lights, emissions, and overall vehicle condition are checked. If no serious or dangerous defects are found, the vehicle is considered roadworthy and you receive the official inspection report with the next expiration date. A successful inspection ensures that you are driving safely, legally, and responsibly toward the environment and other road users.

A re-inspection is the process where a vehicle is checked again after the initial inspection if certain issues were identified. The driver must fix the problems and return to the inspection center within a specified time frame. Through ekteo.gr, you can easily schedule your re-inspection appointment and choose the most convenient available time. Completing the re-inspection on time is essential to avoid fines and ensure your vehicle remains legally on the road.

Minor defects are small issues identified during the inspection that do NOT directly affect the vehicle’s safety or roadworthiness. Examples may include minor wear, non-functioning lights, or slight measurement deviations. In these cases, the vehicle is considered roadworthy and receives a full-validity inspection certificate, with no need for re-inspection. However, it is recommended to fix these issues as soon as possible to maintain the vehicle in good condition and prevent further deterioration. Proper maintenance improves safety and reduces the risk of more serious problems in the future.

Serious and dangerous defects are issues that directly affect vehicle safety and require immediate attention. In the case of serious defects, the vehicle does not pass the inspection, but a deadline—usually around 30 days—is given to repair the issues and return for re-inspection. During this period, the vehicle may still be used under certain conditions, but repairs must be carried out promptly. In contrast, dangerous defects make the vehicle immediately unsafe for use and may lead to its immobilization until fully repaired. Examples include critical failures in braking systems, steering, or other essential mechanical components. Timely maintenance and scheduling your inspection through ekteo.gr can significantly help prevent such situations.
