Question 5027

If you make a major modification to your vehicle, must it pass any type of technical inspection before you can drive it again?

  1. Yes, a periodic inspection, unless the modification is carried out at an authorized repair shop.
  2. Yes, it must pass a special technical inspection.
  3. No; it will only have to pass the inspections required for its age.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, it must pass a special technical inspection.

Yes, a special inspection at an ITV station, before you drive it again with the modification. If it passes, the modification is recorded on the ITV card. Having it done at a manufacturer-authorized repair shop does not exempt you from that inspection, and a periodic ITV inspection does not replace it.
