Next inspection

A car over 10 years old is inspected every year. The listing has no inspection date, so the due date cannot be estimated.

Check with Traficom

The car was registered in Finland later than its model year, which is typical of an imported car. The inspection interval runs from the original date of first use, so it is derived from the model year.
