Roadworthiness test
Private stations (TÜV SÜD, Profdiagnostik and others) perform the test, so prices vary: a passenger car costs roughly 40–59 euros, often less when booked online. A new car's first test is 4 years after first registration, then every 2 years; cars over 10 years old are tested yearly. You can test up to 2 months early without losing your schedule.
Who this applies to
Step by step
Book a slot online
Pick a station and book — web prices often beat walk-in rates (e.g. a car at 39.95 euros online vs 58.95 on site).
Prepare the car
Check the lights, brakes, tyres and washer fluid — small things fail the test most often. Bring the registration certificate.
Take the test
The result is entered electronically in the traffic register — no sticker needed. Fix any defects and return within 30 days to the same station for the retest.
