In 2025, owners of two-wheelers registered between 2017 and 2019 will have to comply with new technical inspection requirements. This regulatory adjustment is part of an extensive road safety approach, aimed at ensuring that all vehicles on the road meet current safety standards.
First checks in 2024
Technical inspection for category L vehicles was inaugurated in 2024. This category, which includes two- and three-wheel scooters, motorcycles and mopeds, as well as light and heavy quadricycles, is now subject to regulations similar to that of cars. For these vehicles, the first inspection is carried out five years after their first registration, followed by an inspection every three years.
Initially, only vehicles registered before 2017 were affected. In order to manage the crowds in the control centers, careful planning has been put in place. The first to report were those whose registration dates back to between January 1 and April 15 of previous years, with deadlines spread out throughout the year to avoid bottlenecks.
The “2017 to 2019” expected in 2025
Now the focus is on models registered between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019. Owners of these vehicles must prepare their two-wheelers for technical inspection from 2025, respecting specific windows based on the date of first registration.
This cycle of checks will continue in the following years, with vehicles from 2020 to 2021 in 2026. The process will reach its normal pace in 2027, where vehicles registered from 2022 will have to comply, thus establishing a regular and predictable rhythm for inspections. future.
The used vehicle market also affected
The introduction of technical inspection for two-wheelers not only changes the rules for vehicles in circulation, but also affects the used vehicle market. From 2025, the sale of a two-wheeler more than five years old will require a technical inspection dated less than six months ago. This measure aims to ensure that all vehicles sold meet safety standards, thus protecting both sellers and buyers.
For owners considering selling their two-wheelers, these regulations require more careful planning. It becomes essential to take into account the validity of the technical inspection before placing a vehicle on the market. This requirement may influence the decision to sell early or hold a vehicle until it passes inspection, potentially increasing costs for sellers but improving the quality of vehicles in the used market.
