Re-inspection & Failure
When is a re-inspection required
A re-inspection is required when serious defects are identified during the initial inspection, preventing the vehicle from passing. In this case, the vehicle does not pass the inspection, but the owner is given a deadline (usually up to 30 days) to fix the issues and return for re-evaluation. These defects typically involve critical components such as brakes, suspension, steering, or emissions. Re-inspection is mandatory to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards. Through ekteo.gr, you can easily schedule your re-inspection appointment and choose the earliest available time slot.
How much time do I have for re-inspection
The time allowed for re-inspection depends on the type of defects identified, but in most cases, a deadline of around 30 days is given from the date of the initial inspection. It is important not to exceed this period, as you may need to repeat the full inspection process, which involves additional cost. For this reason, it is advisable to schedule repairs and re-inspection as soon as possible. Timely action saves both time and money while ensuring your vehicle remains legally roadworthy.
What needs to be fixed
After the initial inspection, you will receive a detailed report describing the defects found in your vehicle. These may involve mechanical components, safety systems, or environmental factors such as emissions. It is important to repair all listed issues, even if some seem minor. Repairs should be carried out by a qualified workshop to ensure the vehicle passes the re-inspection successfully. Proper understanding of the defects helps avoid repeated failures.
Re-inspection cost
The cost of a re-inspection is usually lower than the initial inspection, as it only involves checking the specific points that previously failed. In most cases, if the re-inspection is completed within the 30-day deadline, the cost typically ranges between €5 and €15, depending on the fuel type and vehicle. Additionally, some inspection centers offer free re-inspection within this period as part of their customer service policy. However, if you exceed the deadline, a full inspection may be required at standard cost. Through ekteo.gr, you can compare options and schedule your re-inspection on time, avoiding unnecessary expenses.
