Central European vehicle technical inspection trends

Overview

Technical inspection data and safety standards in Central Europe highlight various mechanical compliance issues. In Poland, maintenance standards emphasize precise diagnostics for braking systems and wheel balancing, noting that a braking force imbalance exceeding 30 percent between wheels results in inspection failure.

In Slovakia and Slovenia, inspection statistics reveal significant failure rates. Slovakian data from 2025 indicates that approximately 8.91 percent of tested vehicles were deemed temporarily unfit due to serious faults, with braking system issues identified as the most frequent cause of failure. In Slovenia, tens of thousands of vehicles fail inspections annually, primarily due to lighting and electrical equipment, followed by braking systems and suspension or wheel issues. While Slovenia recorded nearly 98,674 failures in 2020, this number showed a gradual decrease to 84,924 by 2022.
