light transmission only if fitted by the manufacturer, as standard equipment, and all other tint applied to
the rear windscreen and rear side windows shall allow a minimum of 15 per cent light transmission (Tint

There must be no gasoline or fluid leaks.

Part of the inspection process may necessitate one of our inspectors to operating your vehicle to
perform a road test. Although controlled, this test, will give our Vehicle Inspector an idea how your
vehicle will perform under various braking and maneuvering situations.

Section 14 of the Traffic Act was amended to state that the inspection cannot exceed:
5 years (vehicle licence) & (sixty-two months vehicle inspection), for a new vehicle for the first time that
has not been registered anywhere before;

3 years (vehicle licence) & (thirty-eight months vehicle inspection), for a vehicle that is less than ten
years old, if the vehicle was registered before; and

1 year (vehicle licence) & (fourteen months vehicle inspection), for a vehicle that is more than ten years
old, whether or not the vehicle was registered before.

On completion of the inspection process, you will be issued a Certificate of Road Worthiness (Pass) or a
Certificate of Defects (Fail). Each inspection will incur a CI$35.00 fee; for Cars, trucks (not exceeding 4000
lbs), omnibuses (not exceeding 15 seats), and trailers not exceeding 2000 lbs.

Trucks (4001 to 33,000 lbs), vans (16 to 40 seats), public transport vehicles and buses (16 to 40 seats)

weight), and special vehicles (exceeding 10,001 lbs) will incur a fee of CI$50.00.

A fee of CI$30.00 will be charged for the inspection of a motorcycle.

In the event that your vehicle does not meet all safety requirements set out in the Traffic Act, you will be
issued a Certificate of Defects (fail). Once you have these defects rectified, you will again have to visit the
inspection team to have your vehicle inspected once more. Before the inspection process begins, have
all of your documentation (Insurance cover note or policy or certificate & log book/title) with you. They
will be requested by the Vehicle Inspector. Can’t find your log book? You can purchase a duplicate for the
cost of CI$30.00 (T.R. 4) at any of our locations.

Refrain from using your cell phone while the inspection process is being carried out, your complete
attention will be required. Also, remember to turn off the radio or other electronic device before the
inspection process begins.
