Mandatory technical inspection checks whether a vehicle is fit for the road. It covers brakes, steering, lights, tires, and the exhaust system. The aim is to reduce road risk. Driving a vehicle that has not passed inspection brings administrative liability.
The procedure rests on a Regulation approved by a Cabinet of Ministers resolution. The Regulation has changed over time. So do not treat the deadlines in this article as final. Check current requirements with an official source.
An inspection usually checks the brake system, steering, lights, tires, suspension, and exhaust. In some cases, emission figures are also assessed. Every element that keeps the vehicle safe on the road gets a close look. So preparing for an inspection means attention to the whole truck, not one system.
According to a Ministry of Justice explanation, a vehicle no more than 5 years from its production year is inspected once every 2 years, and an older one once a year. Separate rules applied to vehicles owned by legal entities or used commercially. Check this against your own case.
Since September 1, 2021, inspection stickers are no longer issued, except for vehicles traveling abroad. This detail also needs verification. Vehicles on international runs face separate document requirements. Confirm in advance for your route.
Order in paperwork matters too. Write the result and date of each inspection in the truck's record. Vehicles leaving the country may face separate requirements. Learn the recovery procedure in advance in case a document is lost. That reduces problems that appear at the last minute before a trip.
Check the brake system: pads, discs, and fluid level. Test for play in the steering. All headlights, turn indicators, and the horn must work. Assess tire tread and damage.
The exhaust system must not leak. Look at the wipers and the glass. Have the documents ready: registration, insurance, and driver license. A pre-check at a service center lowers the chance of a failed inspection.
Put each truck's inspection date in a calendar. If many trucks expire at the same time, you get load and queue problems. Spread the dates across months. Log the results.
A pre-inspection check at a service center saves time and fines. An authorized service center does the diagnostics and the needed repair in one place. To book service, go to faw.uz/en/services/.
A vehicle that fails inspection gets a record stating the reason. You must fix the fault and pass a repeat inspection. So record the fault precisely and send the truck for repair. Do not put a truck that failed inspection on the road.
Count the repair time. Every idle day is lost income. Example (assumption): at daily revenue of 1,000,000 UZS, a four-day repair means a 4,000,000 UZS loss. That is why a diagnostic before the inspection costs less. If a small fault is found before the inspection, the repair can take one day.
Log the reasons for rejection. If the same reason repeats, such as lights or tires, it points to a gap in your maintenance routine. Update your prevention routine on that basis. At an authorized service center, parts and diagnostics are in one place. To book service, go to faw.uz/en/services/.
