Many car owners received road tax renewal and on impulse sent car for inspection which is unnecessary. If car inspection is required, it will be specified at the bottom of the road tax. Inspection interval for car is 2 years after year 3. Problem is inspection centres are sending out their leaflet based on database. So please check and do not pay for nothing.
Inspection is required only when official letter is sent from LTA. And it is reflected clearly on the road tax renewal disc sent to car owner.
I think many have sent their car for inspection without realising it is inspection centre's marketing letter and not request from LTA.
Inspection centres are laughing all the way to the bank.
LTA's requirement for inspection for car is biennially, every 2 years, there is a list of vehicle inspection requirements for all types of vehicles, link at http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/maintain_vehicle/inspection.html
