Cars older than three years have to be sent for inspection annually. The LTA (Land Transport Authority) will send an inspection notice thjree months before the expiry of your road tax. Vehicles which are not sent for inspection cannot have their road tax renewed. Cars which are below three years do not have to undergo inspection, with the exception of Off-Peak Cars, whose seals need to be checked yearly.
Do note that the charges for vehicle inspection will be revised come 1 November 2022, and that our article reflects those prices!
