TÜVTÜRK reminds vehicle owners not to miss their inspection dates. In particular, reviewing basic safety elements before the vehicle inspection helps to complete the process more quickly. The institution details the points that drivers can check themselves. This preparation process both increases traffic safety and prevents problems that may occur during the inspection.

Pre-Inspection Preparation Process

It is very important for vehicle owners to check the air pressure and general condition of their tires before the inspection. The proper functioning of the lighting systems, the condition of the windows, the integrity of the mirrors, and the functionality of the wipers are among the key points that need to be checked.

Equipment that must be kept in the vehicle in accordance with the regulations is also an important part of the preparation. Equipment such as the first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and triangular reflector must be complete and in usable condition.

Drivers can complete the inspection process more smoothly by performing these simple checks. Regularly monitoring these items for a safe driving experience is the responsibility of vehicle owners.

Frequently Encountered Defects and the New Era

According to TÜVTÜRK’s annual inspection data, deficiencies in lighting and braking systems are among the most frequently encountered defects in vehicles. Imbalances in rear service brake costs and inadequate parking brakes stand out as the most common problems related to the braking system.

In lighting systems, issues such as faulty low beam headlight adjustment, brake lights partially or completely not working, and reverse lights not working are frequently detected. In addition, the absence of a valid exhaust gas emission measurement is also among the reasons for failing the inspection.

Aftermarket LED bulbs that do not comply with standards are considered elements that can negatively affect driving safety. It should be remembered that such modifications can directly affect the inspection results.

On the other hand, TURKA will undertake vehicle inspection services in the new period covering the years 2027-2047. TURKA will operate as a structure formed through the collaboration of Met-Gün Group, US-based Opus Group, Spanish Itversia Gestion SL, and VTV Norte SA.
