Amendment 1
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (4) Due to rapid technological progress, some of the current rules for testing vehicles have become outdated and should be amended to adapt them to newer technologies and vehicles. The testing framework should further contribute to reducing emissions from transport and to accelerating and benefiting from digitalisation in the transport sector. The framework should also be better adapted to developments in evolving vehicle technology, fleet composition and testing methods. | (4) Due to rapid technological progress, some of the current rules for testing vehicles have become outdated and should be amended to adapt them to newer technologies and vehicles. Leveraging innovation in areas such as real-world emissions testing could enhance compliance, reduce administrative burdens and deliver tangible safety and environmental benefits for citizens, while ensuring that Europe stays at the forefront of developing and deploying cutting-edge technologies. The testing framework should provide for the timely and cost-efficient testing of vehicles while still fully delivering on the objectives of this Directive, including improving road safety, ensuring the effective enforcement of existing legislation regarding emissions from transport and accelerating and leveraging digitalisation in the transport sector. The framework should also be better adapted to developments in evolving vehicle technology, fleet composition and testing methods. |
Amendment 2

Recital 7
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (7) The number of fatalities and serious injuries on Union roads remains at an unacceptably high level, with 20 400 deaths in 2023. Therefore, further action is required in order to reach the targets for road safety set out in EU road safety policy framework 2021-20305 . | (7) The number of fatalities and serious injuries on Union roads remains high, with 19 940 deaths in 2024, constituting a gradual decrease from 24 358 deaths in 2015. Therefore, further tangible action is required in order to reach the targets for road safety set out in the EU road safety policy framework 2021-20305 and the long-term goal of reaching zero deaths by 2050 (”Vision Zero”) through direct and meaningful measures, as endorsed by the European Parliament. This requires the continuous updating of vehicle safety rules and their effective enforcement, including the systematic detection of unsafe and non-compliant vehicles. In this context, periodic technical inspections constitute a key preventive tool within the Union’s road safety policy. |

Recital 8
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (8) Testing the roadworthiness of motorcycles has clear benefits for road safety. This has also been demonstrated by the number of Member States that already include motorcycles in their roadworthiness testing systems. As a result, the current possibility of an opt-out for motorcycles with an engine capacity above 125 cm3 is no longer appropriate, and periodic testing should be mandatory for such vehicles without exception. | (8) Testing the roadworthiness of motorcycles has clear benefits for road safety. This has also been demonstrated by the number of Member States that already include motorcycles in their roadworthiness testing systems. Therefore, the testing of motorcycles with an engine capacity above 125 cm³ should be mandatory. Member States should set appropriate intervals as well as areas, items and appropriate methods of testing. As a result, the current possibility of an opt-out for motorcycles with an engine capacity above 125 cm3 is no longer appropriate, and periodic testing should be mandatory for such vehicles without exception due to the evidence showing that regular inspections of motorcycles are associated with significantly lower fatality rates. |

Recital 9
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (9) According to the feedback received from Member States and industry representatives, the current legal requirements aiming to ensure that the technical data needed to carry out periodic technical inspections are available to testing centres have proven to be ineffective. It is therefore necessary to specify that a minimum set of information should be made available free of charge and without undue delay to the competent authorities, which should then ensure that the testing centres authorised by them also have the required access. | (9) According to the feedback received from Member States and industry representatives, the current legal requirements aiming to ensure that the technical data needed to carry out periodic technical inspections are available to testing centres have proven to be ineffective. It is therefore necessary to specify that a minimum set of information should be made available free of charge and without undue delay to the competent authorities, which should then ensure that the testing centres authorised by them also have the required access. The Commission, in collaboration with relevant stakeholders within its expert group, should develop uniform and standardised requirements for such information to ensure a clear, consistent and harmonised approach, and to avoid overlapping with other data-access regulations. Furthermore, where testing facilities do not use data provided by the manufacturer or request additional data, the Commission should propose the necessary changes to requirements while ensuring that the administrative burden on manufacturers is minimised. |
Amendment 5
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (10) The Member State of registration should recognise a temporary roadworthiness certificate issued by another Member State for a period of up to six months, provided that the subsequent periodic technical inspection is conducted in the Member State of registration. That will contribute to facilitating the free movement of people while respecting the basic requirement that vehicles are generally to be tested in the Member State of registration. | (10) The Member State of registration should recognise a temporary roadworthiness certificate for vehicles of categories M1 and N1 issued by another Member State for a period of up to six months, provided that the subsequent periodic technical inspection is conducted in the Member State of registration. That will contribute to facilitating the free movement of people while respecting the basic requirement that vehicles are generally to be tested in the Member State of registration. |
Amendment 6
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (11) For the same reason, a Member State of registration should be able to choose to recognise roadworthiness certificates issued by another Member State. If it does so, it should inform the other Member States and the Commission. The roadworthiness certificates concerned should be considered by all Member States as equivalent to certificates issued by the Member State of registration. | (11) In order to facilitate the free movement of people, a Member State of registration should be able to choose to recognise roadworthiness certificates issued by another Member State.

Amendment 7
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (12) To combat fraud related to the mileage of used vehicles, recording odometer readings is included in periodic roadworthiness testing. However, the effectiveness of the measure has been limited because the first test is only carried out four years after the first registration in most Member States and only every two years after that in many of them. To further tackle odometer fraud, Member States should ensure that odometer readings are taken whenever a service provider carries out maintenance or repair work on a vehicle and that the readings are recorded in a national database or register. Member States should make those readings available in an anonymised format to inspectors, the competent authorities and the holder of the registration certificate. In addition, Member States should require manufacturers to transmit the odometer readings of connected vehicles every three months. In order to enable consumers to detect odometer fraud before purchasing a vehicle, Member States should also inform consumers of the availability of odometer history to the holder of the registration certificate, in particular in the context of vehicle sales. To enhance the availability of statistics on vehicle use without additional reporting burden on national administrations, Member States should make the odometer readings available, in an anonymised form, to the national statistical institutes and to the Commission (Eurostat). | (12) To combat fraud related to the mileage of used vehicles, recording odometer readings is included in periodic roadworthiness testing.

Amendment 8
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (12a) Odometer fraud undermines consumer confidence and distorts competition in the internal market for used vehicles, particularly in cross-border transactions. Establishing access to the odometer history prior to purchase, could effectively prevent fraud. In line with the principle of subsidiarity, Member States should retain flexibility regarding the organisation and enforcement of their national systems while ensuring effective communication with prospective buyers. |
Amendment 9
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (13a) Vehicles should only be tested against the specific requirements laid down in the relevant vehicle approval legislation applicable at the time of their first registration, first entry into service, or, where relevant, at the time of retrofitting. Where a vehicle function becomes inoperable for reasons beyond the control of the vehicle owner, such as the potential deactivation of eCall systems operating on 2G networks in certain Member States, the vehicle should not be deemed to have failed the inspection, as the cause of the malfunction lies outside the owner’s responsibility. |
Amendment 10
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (14) Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council6 requires the installation of a variety of advanced driver assistance systems, designed to avoid crashes and reduce casualties and severe injuries. However, the expected benefits will not be achieved if these systems deteriorate over time or are subject to tampering. Therefore, those new electronic systems should be included in periodic and roadside inspections to ensure that they deliver their expected safety benefits. To ensure the safe operation of automated vehicles and the testing of electronic safety systems throughout their useful life, relevant items to be tested should be included in the minimum requirements concerning the contents of and recommended methods for testing set out in the respective Annexes to Directives 2014/45/EU and 2014/47/EU. | (14) Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council6 requires the installation of a variety of advanced driver assistance systems, designed to avoid crashes and reduce casualties and severe injuries.

Amendment 11
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (14a) In light of the increasing integration of electronic safety systems in modern vehicles, it is important to assess their contribution to road safety and environmental performance. In order to ensure that periodic technical inspections remain effective, proportionate and adapted to technological developments, the Commission should review the items listed in Annex I, point 3, including electronic safety systems, taking into account their impact, as well as the costs and benefits of their inspection. On the basis of that review, the Commission should evaluate the necessity and proportionality of including such items in vehicle inspections and identify ways to make inspection requirements more efficient, effective and future-proof, with a view to improving road safety. Where appropriate, the Commission should propose the necessary measures. |
Amendment 12
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (15) While road transport contributes to significant shares of harmful air pollutant emissions in particular NOX and fine particles, the current testing methods for exhaust emissions are not adapted to more recent vehicles and technologies. Commission Recommendation (EU) 2023/6887 was a first step in harmonising particle number measurement during roadworthiness testing. In the interests of public health, environmental protection and fair competition, the relevant items to be tested during periodic technical inspections set out in the annexes to Directives 2014/45/EU and 2014/47/EU should now include particle number measurement and the measurement of NOX. | (15) While road transport contributes to significant shares of harmful air pollutant emissions in particular NOX and fine particles, the current testing methods for exhaust emissions are not adapted to more recent vehicles and technologies.

Amendment 13
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (15a) The inclusion of particle number (PN) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) measurements in periodic roadworthiness testing could make an important contribution to improved air quality. However, in accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, the introduction and application of such measurements should take due account of national circumstances, technical readiness and efficiency of testing, economic impacts and the availability of appropriately qualified personnel. Member States should therefore retain the discretion to decide whether and to what extent such testing is applied, in particular in the absence of fully harmonised requirements at Union level for measurement equipment, calibration procedures and operational conditions, as well as where shortages of suitably trained engineers or inspectors on the labour market could affect effective implementation. Where Member States apply PN or NOx testing, sufficient implementation periods should be provided to allow testing centres, including small and medium-sized inspection centres, to adapt in a technically sound and economically proportionate manner, including by training or recruiting qualified staff, while avoiding market distortions and ensuring consistent and reliable testing. |
Amendment 14
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (15b) Recall campaigns in accordance with Regulations (EU) 2018/858 and (EU) 2023/988 depend on follow-up by vehicle owners or the holders of registration certificates to be effective. Roadworthiness tests could reinforce the follow-up on mandatory recall campaigns in cases where the identified deficiency presents a serious risk to the safety and health of persons or the environment. Therefore, a link between recall campaigns and roadworthiness testing should be established. Vehicles with unresolved mandatory safety recalls assessed as major or dangerous should not pass their roadworthiness test until the underlying issue has been rectified and verified. |
Amendment 15
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (16) Older vehicles tend to have more defects, are more frequently involved in crashes, and represent a higher proportion of high-emitting vehicles. Inspecting older cars and light commercial vehicles annually can contribute significantly to reducing crashes and harmful emissions. Cars and light commercial vehicles should therefore be inspected annually at the latest after 10 years from the date of first registration. | deleted |
Amendment 16
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (17) Furthermore, since light commercial vehicles are used more intensively than private cars, often in densely populated areas, they should be inspected for emissions annually after one year from the date of first registration. | deleted |
Amendment 17
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (18a) Where vehicles have been recalled due to safety or emission-related reasons, testing centres should have access to and be provided with the relevant information in order to carry out checks during the following periodic technical inspections. |
Amendment 18
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (18b) Member States should ensure testing centres do not view re-testing as an opportunity to recoup costs and ensure retesting is only carried out when necessary, in the case of major or dangerous deficiencies. |
Amendment 19
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (21) To provide for adequate follow-up of deficiencies where a vehicle fails a periodic technical inspection due to one or more major deficiencies in a Member State other than the Member State of registration, the result of the test and the deadline for the subsequent test should be notified to the Member State of registration and recorded in the vehicle register. The deadline for the subsequent test should be no more than two months and should take place in either Member State. In addition, when a vehicle has failed the periodic technical inspection due to one or more dangerous deficiencies, to avoid immediate risks to road safety or the environment, the Member State or competent authority should be able to decide that the vehicle in question is not to be used on public roads and request the Member State of registration to suspend the vehicle’s authorisation for use in road traffic, until the deficiencies are rectified. The suspension should be recorded in the vehicle register of the Member State of registration. | (21) To provide for adequate follow-up of deficiencies where a vehicle fails a periodic technical inspection due to one or more major deficiencies in a Member State other than the Member State of registration, the result of the test and the deadline for the subsequent test should be notified to the Member State of registration and recorded in the vehicle register.

Recital 22
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (22) Tampering or manipulating any component of a vehicle should be considered to be a major or dangerous deficiency and therefore should be punishable by effective, proportionate, dissuasive and non-discriminatory penalties. | (22) Tampering or manipulating of a safety or emission-control component, silencer or high-voltage system of a vehicle should be considered to be a major or dangerous deficiency and therefore should be punishable by effective, proportionate, dissuasive and non-discriminatory penalties. |
Amendment 21
Proposal for a directive
Recital 25
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (25) The functionalities of the MOVE-HUB should be extended to enable the necessary exchange of information and vehicle data for the purposes of Directives 2014/45/EU and 2014/47/EU. Member States should therefore connect their electronic systems containing information on roadworthiness certificates and odometer history to MOVE-HUB. The exchange of information and data through the MOVE-HUB should be operational within one year after the adoption of the corresponding implementing acts pursuant to Article 16 of Directive 2014/45/EU and Article 18a of Directive 2014/47/EU. | (25) The functionalities of the MOVE-HUB should be extended to enable the necessary exchange of information and vehicle data for the purposes of Directives 2014/45/EU and 2014/47/EU.

Recital 27
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (27) Given the increased number of light commercial vehicles in circulation within the Union, to promote a level playing field for commercial operators across the Union and to further improve their safety and environmental performance, light commercial vehicles should also be subject to roadside inspections. | (27) Given the increased number of light commercial vehicles in circulation within the Union, to promote a level playing field for commercial operators across the Union and to further improve their safety and environmental performance, light commercial vehicles should also be subject to roadside inspections. To ensure a proportionate and gradual approach, minimum levels of roadside inspections should be established at Union level and increased over time. The progressive increase of inspection targets for vehicles of category N1 should support Member States in developing the necessary administrative, technical and operational capacities to effectively carry out roadside inspections. At the same time, Member States should retain flexibility in the implementation of those requirements, taking into account national circumstances. In particular, where Member States implement effective screening systems for air pollutant emissions that cover a significant share of the vehicle fleet, corresponding to at least 20% of that fleet, they should be allowed to derogate from the minimum inspection levels. Furthermore, in order to avoid an unnecessary administrative burden and duplication of checks, Member States should be able, by way of derogation, to limit roadside inspections of light commercial vehicles, that have undergone a periodic technical inspection within the preceding 12 months. |
Amendment 23
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (28) For roadside inspections, the screening of the exhaust emissions of large numbers of vehicles by using remote sensing equipment is an effective measure for identifying high-emitting vehicles. It increases detection rates significantly compared to mandatory test methods. Member States should therefore use remote sensing equipment systematically to screen large shares of the vehicle fleet in real on-road conditions. One single remote sensing measurement indicating high emissions above the legal limits could be related to various factors, such as temporary acceleration or a cold engine. However, multiple measurements systematically indicating significantly higher-than-average emissions could indicate a faulty emission control system or unauthorised modifications, such as tampering. Since such defects and modifications generate excessive emissions that pose risks to human health and the environment, they should be repaired, and any tampering should be sanctioned. | (28) For roadside inspections, the screening of the vehicle exhaust emissions through the use of remote sensing technologies can constitute an effective measure for identifying potentially high-emitting vehicles. Such screening can significantly increase detection rates compared to conventional inspection methods and allows vehicles to be assessed under real driving conditions. Member States should therefore be able to use such technologies to screen the vehicle fleet in real world conditions during their operation in road traffic, and in accordance with the principle of technological neutrality. Screening results should be considered indicative only and should not in themselves constitute confirmation of non-compliance. A single measurement indicating emissions above applicable thresholds can relate to various factors, such as temporary acceleration or a cold engine. However, multiple measurements systematically indicating significantly higher-than-average emissions could indicate a faulty emission control system or unauthorised modifications, such as tampering. Since such defects and modifications generate excessive emissions that pose risks to human health and the environment, they should be repaired, and any tampering should be sanctioned. Remote sensing technologies serve as a screening tool and do not replace roadside inspections. Vehicles flagged through remote measurements should be subject to further verification. The Commission should, on the basis of information provided by Member States, identify best practices and should be able to issue recommendations, including on emission thresholds, measurement accuracy and the use of repeated measurements, while ensuring the protection of personal data. |
Amendment 24
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (29) As a result, such screening by remote sensing should form part of each Member State’s roadside inspection system. For the screening to be effective, each Member State should screen the equivalent of at least 30% of its registered fleet of motor vehicles, including cars and motorcycles. On the basis of that remote sensing data, Member States should check the exhaust emissions and the noise level of any vehicle that is suspected to emit more than double the average level of similar vehicles, or more than 3 dB above the average level. That check could be carried out in a roadside inspection immediately after a remote sensing measurement or in a roadworthiness testing centre in the Member State of registration. For vehicles registered in another Member State, the competent authority where the remote sensing measurement took place should notify the measurement result and the result of any subsequent roadside inspection to the competent authority of Member State of registration. | (29) Vehicles identified as potentially high-emitting through screening should be subject to appropriate follow-up, including further technical inspection and, where necessary, at an inspection centre to verify compliance. Where such vehicles are registered in another Member State, cooperation between competent authorities should ensure that the relevant information is communicated and appropriate follow-up action is taken. |
Amendment 25
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (29a) In order to allow Member States sufficient time to develop and deploy appropriate technologies and administrative frameworks for the screening of vehicles for air pollutant emissions, they should apply the relevant provisions by [three years after the entry into force of this Directive]. |
Amendment 26

Recital 30
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (30) Directive 2014/47/EU specifies a minimum share of heavy commercial vehicles to be tested at the roadside each year in the Union but sets no target at Member State level, with the result that it is difficult to ensure the enforcement of that minimum share. To ensure that roadside inspections of commercial vehicles contribute to improved road safety and reduced air pollution across the Union, each Member State should carry out a total number of initial technical roadside inspections every year, corresponding to at least 5% of the total number of heavy commercial vehicles registered in their territory. | (30) Directive 2014/47/EU specifies a minimum share of heavy commercial vehicles to be tested at the roadside each year in the Union but sets no target at Member State level, with the result that it is difficult to ensure the enforcement of that minimum share.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The revision of the Union framework for roadworthiness and roadside inspections is both timely and necessary. Technological progress, the increasing digitalisation of the transport sector, and the accelerated market penetration of zero- and low-emission vehicles have rendered parts of the existing rules outdated. The overarching objective of this report is therefore to ensure that the Union’s roadworthiness regime remains fit for purpose, technologically future-proof, and proportionate, while continuing to deliver on its core objectives: improving road safety, safeguarding environmental performance, and ensuring the effective enforcement of Union law.
Despite gradual improvements over recent years, the number of fatalities and serious injuries on Union roads remains unacceptably high. In 2024 alone, 19 940 people lost their lives on EU roads, compared with 24 358 in 2015. To meet the Union’s road safety targets for 2030, further direct, meaningful, and evidence-based measures are required. A robust roadworthiness testing regime constitutes an essential component of a safe road transport system.
At the same time, its design must reflect causality and real-world evidence. The Commission’s own impact assessment confirms that technical defects contribute to only a small share of road accidents. Any reinforcement of testing obligations must therefore be justified by demonstrable safety or environmental benefits and calibrated in line with proportionality. The Commission proposal envisaged several measures that, upon closer analysis, do not meet the proportionality requirement. Foremost among these is the proposed shortening of inspection intervals for vehicles older than ten years. While inspection standards vary among Member States, evidence linking more frequent inspections to a measurable reduction in accident causation remains inconclusive. The measure would also disproportionately affect vehicle owners from more vulnerable socio-economic backgrounds, for whom older vehicles are often a necessity. Additionally, Member States already have the discretion to impose shorter intervals in justified circumstances; imposing a mandatory Union-wide reduction is therefore neither necessary nor proportionate and has been deleted.
Similarly, the proposal to require annual inspections for N1 vehicles would impose significant administrative and financial burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises, which rely heavily on such vehicles for daily operations. Emission control systems in modern vehicles have to fulfil high standards in terms of durability. In addition, the Commission acknowledges that reliable data on the prevalence of tampered or defective emission control systems remain limited. In the absence of substantiated benefits, the measure is not proportionate and has therefore been deleted.
The report also addresses concerns arising from the weight-based classification of zero-emission vehicles. Due to their batteries, M1 and N1 zero-emission vehicles tend to be heavier than their combustion counterparts and would risk falling into the stricter inspection regime applicable to M2 or N2 vehicles. This outcome would neither reflect the underlying safety risk nor be technologically justified. The report therefore clarifies that such vehicles should not be subject to more stringent regimes solely due to their battery-related mass.
At the same time, several measures to enhance safety and environmental protection are strongly supported. The report also endorses regular technical inspections for motor scooters with an engine capacity above 50 cm³. Given their higher speeds and greater kinetic energy compared with smaller mopeds, safety-critical components such as brakes, tyres, and lighting require regular verification. These inspections will contribute materially to rider safety, overall road safety, and environmental protection.
Regarding remote sensing, the report recognises its long-term potential for improving the detection of high-emitting vehicles and supporting more targeted enforcement. However, given the current stage of technological maturity, remote sensing should remain optional for Member States until its feasibility, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness are demonstrated. At the same time, Member States should be encouraged to conduct pilot projects to build experience and support the development of a harmonised approach at Union level.
Overall, the report strikes a balanced and proportionate approach: modernising the Union framework in light of technological progress; ensuring that new obligations rest on sound evidence; maintaining legal certainty; and avoiding disproportionate burdens on citizens, SMEs, and inspection operators. The resulting framework strengthens the Union’s capacity to improve road safety, enhance environmental protection, and support the transition to cleaner and more digital mobility, while remaining fair, workable, and economically justified.
