Technical inspection

When is your car's technical inspection due?

Check the date in your vehicle documents or official records. Save it to your vehicle in VehKeep and set reminders before it expires.

Guidance for vehicle owners in Poland
01

Find the exact due date

Record the inspection validity date, mileage at inspection, result, and inspection station name.

  • For a typical passenger car in Poland, the cycle is often three years after first registration, then two years, then annually. Exceptions exist.
  • Do not guess from the car's age when documents are available. Confirm the exact date in the documents and official records.
02

Useful reminders

Set at least two reminders: about 30 days before the deadline and a few days before expiry.

  • An earlier reminder leaves time to repair issues before inspection.
  • After a positive inspection, record the new validity date, mileage, and cost.
03

What to record afterwards

Add the result, next due date, mileage, cost, and any notes from the inspection technician.

  • Attach a defect list or additional certificate if you received one.
  • Connect an inspection following a repair with the relevant service record.
