NCC1701A Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I was just told that you have to have your vehicle inspected every year after five years. This would be year six for both a motorcycle and a scooter. This is correct? Thank you for your total cooperation in this matter of vital importance.

When I went to do the transfer, they said "tax is due in 2 months, do you want to renew now' I did, and no inspection was required, so it appears you can buy a bit early and avoid an inspection fee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know it is after 5 / 7 years, so the 6th or 8th year is the start of the annual inspections. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you can do that if you want. In our village we have an inspection place now the scoot is 540 all in for CTPL, road tax disc and pick it up 2 days later. They do big bikes and car/trucks too very handy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mark Nothing Posted March 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2021 You can only do the inspection at garages with this logo in the sign. Very fast when I did it last year. But you have to return a few days later if you have them renew the annual registration and license tag sticker. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inspection for my pick-up consisted of kicking the tyres, seeing all the lights worked, no smoke from the exhaust. and that the VIN tallied with the book. Done!

Yeah it's funny here I know but no one should rely on 7 year motors inspections as a safety check. I check my own vehicles if you're not able to check an older vehicle then there is places who can and my local Cockpit is great. That said our trucks only 3 years old. Our Yaris & City they only inspected with a tape check of VIN number and engine number at the place we go. My 28 year old big bike they just stick a exhaust pollution gauge down the exhaust box and I get my road tax disc, CTPL from the inspection place two days later. ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually not, as they don't check whether they actually work. Same with tyres: bald as a new born baby = can. Horn = no need. Just don't try getting away with an after-market exhaust or God forbid, blue coloured indicators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from the home of CC Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 they're not inspecting the vehicle as such they're just clocking all the old '****'s that are driving ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazinoz Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 First time I had to do this year in Chiang Mai and was 7 years not 5. Basically checked brakes, lights and emissions and cost 200Baht. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I do not know about a bike but have been doing my car for some time now. Totally painless, 12 minutes & 200 Bht, then go around to the wonderful drive thru relicensing booths, pay tax, upgrade blue book, get your sticker without even getting out of your car. "Bummer" No great idea & this system is not broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxper Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 MCs are after 5 years, cars etc after 7, then every year after that. Pretty rudimentary check to be honest. I think you can tell that by the number of decrepit pickups that are on the road. Nothing like the British MOT test for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we never end up like the UK where the annual inspection is just a way of making money for the government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
