dudez7 3rd Gear August 4, 2020 Share August 4, 2020 At https://www.straitstimes.com/forum/forum-three-years-too-soon-for-first-car-inspection Quote The Land Transport Authority should consider lengthening the vehicle inspection timeframe of private cars and motorcycles. Currently, vehicles need to undergo inspection to make sure they are roadworthy. For private cars, the first of these inspections is required after three years. Subsequently, it is to be carried out every two years until the 10th year, after which inspection is required every year. For motorcycles and scooters, inspection is required annually after the third year. Unlike other countries with badly maintained roads, Singapore's roads are smooth, well-maintained and free of potholes. Singapore's roads were ranked first for road quality infrastructure in the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness report last year. Many car dealers now offer a five-year or even seven-year warranty mainly due to new technologies which allow for sturdier cars that stay roadworthy for longer. Clearly, there is little need for a car inspection in the vehicle's first five years. I hope the LTA could consider requiring cars and motorcycles to be inspected only every three years after they are five-years-old. For vehicles above 10 years, biennial inspection instead of annual inspection could be allowed. Encourage or even mandate vehicle owners to change their car's tyres after every 10,000km to 15,000km of distance travelled. This would provide some safety assurance to all motorists on the road as well as ensure well-maintained roads. Also encourage motorists to be responsible for the roadworthiness of their vehicles. That would reduce maintenance costs and accidents. Foo Sing Kheng ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast1 Supersonic August 5, 2020 Share August 5, 2020 This Foo is a Fool. Not because of the three year thing, but so many rubbish claims. Our roads are not in good upkeep any more. And what's this nonsense about forcing tyre changes at 10,000 to 15,000km? Track every weekend ah? 😂 4 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic August 5, 2020 Share August 5, 2020 Everyone knows the car inspection thingy is just another indirect tax on car ownership On the tyre thingy....good luck w that. LTA not even interested to legislate against widespread fraud like odo tampering, u think they gonna bother w tayar? Unless tayar inspection is a separate exercise and we are required to pay money then of course scholars are interested.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkl22 Twincharged August 5, 2020 Share August 5, 2020 (edited) i would say an annual inspection is needed for PHVs. many of them running around with bald tires. at the very least this will get them to change the tires.

Ask any low mileage owners what happen to the tires after 5 years even if the milage is 20000km . You be lucky if on the 6th year , it does not delaminate 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic August 5, 2020 Share August 5, 2020 I think for regular Non PHV vehicles, really quite unnecessary to inspect at 3 year mark. Given the general QC of vehicles now is much better overall than say in the 1980s or 1990s. But no choice, we have to put up with this for those pple who do illegal mods etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
