Recital 5
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (5) The digital transition is one of the Union’s priorities. In the context of updating the current rules on testing vehicles, it is also important to harmonise, simplify and digitalise administrative procedures and to remove the remaining barriers to free movement. These barriers include the non-recognition of periodic technical inspections conducted in Member States other than the Member State of registration. This can impede the free movement of people within the Union and their right to take up residence in a Member State other than the one where the vehicle is currently registered. | deleted |

Recital 7 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (7b) The Union has committed to the Vision Zero objective of eliminating road deaths and serious injuries by 2050, which requires continuous strengthening of vehicle safety rules and enforcement mechanisms. Achieving Vision Zero requires a shift from formal compliance towards effective enforcement in real-world driving conditions, including systematic detection of unsafe and non-compliant vehicles. Periodic technical inspections constitute a key preventive tool within the Union’s road safety policy. Strengthening their effectiveness is consistent with the Union’s objective of reducing road fatalities and serious injuries and with the long-term goal of achieving zero road deaths and serious injuries. |

| 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. | deleted |
Or. fr
Justification
According to the MAIDS (Motorcycle Accidents In Depth Study) report, conducted in five European countries and covering more than 1 000 accidents involving powered two-wheelers, in an accident involving a two-wheeler a technical deficiency is the cause in only 0.3 % of cases. This additional subparagraph would not bring about a major improvement in safety.

Testing the roadworthiness of motorcycles can contribute to road safety, but is not the only way to protect it. The experiences of a number of Member States show that alternative safety measures, such active roadside checks, infrastructure improvements and driver training, have been remarkably successful in reducing accidents. The current flexibility should therefore be maintained to allow Member States to exempt motorcycles from compulsory periodic inspections, as long as they demonstrate that effective alternative measures tailored to their countries’ specific characteristics are in place. |

Justification
L'introduction d'un enregistrement des compteurs kilométriques peut entraîner une réduction massive de la fraude au kilométrage, qui porte souvent préjudice aux consommateurs lorsqu'ils achètent des véhicules d'occasion. Selon une étude de l'EPRS réalisée en 2018, « le coût économique total de la fraude au compteur kilométrique dans le commerce transfrontalier de voitures d'occasion au sein de l'UE peut être estimé à au moins 1,31 milliard d'euros, le scénario le plus probable en matière de taux de fraude entraînant une perte économique de 8,77 milliards d'euros ». À titre d'exemple, la Belgique a introduit des dispositions similaires dans sa législation nationale, ce qui a permis de réduire considérablement le nombre de fraudes, passant de 100 000 véhicules par an à un nombre négligeable (<1000) après la mise en œuvre des mesures. Cet amendement appelle à prendre en compte cet expérience.

| (12a) Odometer fraud undermines consumer confidence and distorts competition in the internal market for used vehicles, particularly in cross-border transactions. Establishing a Union Mileage Transparency System based on interoperable national systems, while ensuring that prospective buyers have access to essential mileage information prior to purchase, can effectively prevent fraud. In this context, building on the experience of the Pilot Project ‘OREL – European system for limiting odometer fraud: fast-track to roadworthiness in the EU’ aims to assess the feasibility and scope of a future system for odometer information exchange. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, Member States should retain flexibility regarding the organisation, pricing and enforcement. |

Currently, heavy-duty vehicles with tampered exhaust emission control systems must be granted toll benefits due to their formal classification under EURO norms in motor vehicle law according to (EU) 2022/362.

| (15a) Vehicle recalls pursuant to Regulations (EU) 2018/858 and (EU) 2023/988 are dependent on effective follow-up to achieve their safety objectives. In cases where an identified defect poses a serious risk to the safety or health of persons, periodic technical inspections can contribute to better follow-up of such recalls. To this end, it should be possible to establish a link between recalls and technical inspections, with Member States having the possibility to determine whether a specific recall is to be made subject to a technical inspection and to classify the underlying defect as a serious or dangerous defect. Where a vehicle is subject to a mandatory recall due to a serious safety risk and the identified defect has not been rectified, this may affect the outcome of the technical inspection until the defect has been rectified and this rectification has been verified. However, the responsibility for rectifying defects that give rise to a recall remains entirely with the manufacturer. The follow-up of recalls must not lead to a transfer of legal, financial or administrative responsibility to the owner of the vehicle or the holder of the registration certificate. |

| (15a) The inclusion of particle number (PN) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) measurements in periodic roadworthiness testing can 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, 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 may affect effective implementation. Where Member States choose to 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. |

In addition, the mandatory introduction of such measurements would entail substantial operational challenges for Member States, including the availability of qualified personnel, equipment and enforcement capacity.

A link between recall campaigns and roadworthiness testing should therefore be established. This link should allow Member States to determine whether a recall campaign should be subject to a roadworthiness test and to classify the defect giving rise to the recall as major or dangerous.

As vehicles of over 10 years of age are often owned by low income household groups, more frequent inspections of these vehicles could have a disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable groups, including single households with children and women. Member States should therefore put in place measures to reduce the price of technical inspections for owners of such vehicles in particular when the average price in any such Member State be higher than the average price across all EU Member States. Such measures could include public provision of inspection services, a state subsidy to the cost of undertaking the inspections, a revision to vehicle purchase or in-use taxes, or levies on car manufacturers for each new car sold. Member States should ensure that the price of technical inspections is affordable, easily and clearly comparable, transparent and non-discriminatory.

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.

Justification
While remote sensing can support the identification of high-emitting vehicles and contribute to more targeted enforcement, its mandatory application across all Member States does not appear proportionate at this stage. The progressive electrification of the vehicle fleet is expected to lead to structurally lower exhaust emissions and noise levels over time, which may gradually reduce the need for large-scale emissions and noise screening. In this context, an optional approach would allow Member States to make use of remote sensing where it is considered appropriate, while encouraging pilot projects to build practical experience and further inform the assessment of its future role within the roadworthiness framework.

On the basis of that remote sensing data, Member States should check the exhaust emissions and the noise level of any vehicle whose measurements are above specific noise and emission levels, which shall be set by the Commission via delegated acts. Different levels may apply, if justified, to different vehicle categories. However, the same levels shall apply to all vehicles within the same category. These levels shall be set in a manner that minimises the risk of false positives, providing full guarantees that only the most polluting vehicles are identified and selected for further checks.

Justification
Doing away with the exemption disregards the success of alternative road safety measures implemented by several Member States. Motorcyclists’ safety is best protected by active roadside checks, infrastructure improvements and specific training tailored to the geographical conditions and vehicle fleet of each country. Maintaining the indent respects the principle of subsidiarity and means public resources can be channelled towards aspects that involve a greater number of accidents: the human element and infrastructure.

Justification
The definition of “connected vehicle” should be clearly linked to the core purpose of this Directive, namely the periodic roadworthiness testing of vehicles.This amendment clarifies that only connectivity which is functionally necessary for the performance or assessment of such inspections falls within the scope of the definition.It improves legal clarity and proportionality and avoids extending the Directive to connectivity features that are not relevant for roadworthiness testing.

| — it was manufactured or registered for the first time at least 20 years ago; |

Justification
The 30-year age threshold for defining a vehicle of historical interest no longer reflects today’s pace of technological change. Many vehicles already meeting the qualitative criteria for historical interest become technologically obsolete and fail Periodic Technical Inspection requirements well before reaching 30 years. Lowering the threshold to 20 years would allow Member States to preserve such vehicles before they are forced off the road, without creating any automatic exemption or weakening safety rules.

Or. en
Justification
1. Inspection standards vary widely across Member States. Shortening inspection intervals would place a disproportionate burden on owners of older vehicles, many from more vulnerable socio-economic groups, while the Commission itself acknowledges that technical defects are only rarely the cause of accidents. As Member States already have the possibility to adjust inspection intervals under existing rules, the proposed measure is not proportionate and should be deleted.2. Due to the additional weight of batteries, zero-emission vehicles in categories M1 and N1 may exceed existing weight thresholds and risk being subject to testing regimes designed for categories M2 or N2.3. N1 vehicles are predominantly used by SMEs. Annual inspections would require vans to be taken out of service, creating unnecessary administrative and financial pressure. Type-approval rules already ensure minimum durability of emission control systems, supported by on-board diagnostics that detect malfunctions, while the Commission itself acknowledges the lack of reliable data on the scale of defective or tampered systems. The proportionality of the proposed measure is therefore not demonstrated.

Justification
A majority of Member States already require annual tests for cars and vans over ten years old with some requiring them after just three or four years. Annual inspections as from six years will identify defects in vehicles earlier and since older vehicles fail a periodic inspection more than twice or three times as often as newer ones, this can have a significant impact on reducing deaths and serious injuries. As prices for technical inspections vary across the Union, Member States shall ensure that the prices of inspections do not put an unproportionate burden on low-income household.

Justification
By also including changes to environmental systems as an independent basis for an interim technical inspection, it becomes possible to require additional inspections outside the regular inspection cycle. Environmental and emission requirements are already regulated by specific Union legislation and type-approval rules. This amendment ensures that interim technical inspections are limited to cases where road safety is actually at stake and prevents unnecessary costs and red tape.

Article 8 – paragraph 9a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| Without prejudice of Article 4(1)(b), for vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2, N3, O3 and O4, when a registration or a roadworthiness certificate is temporarily suspended, irrespective of the reason for the suspension, any subsequent certificate obtained following a successful roadworthiness test should be valid for 12 months. The starting date for the calculation of the 12 months period should be the date of issuance of the new certificate. In case of voluntary suspension of a vehicle registration certificate for a given period of time, Member States may authorise the roadworthiness certificate of that vehicle to remain valid for a period equivalent to the period between the date when the suspension was requested and the expiration date of that certificate in case it would have not been suspended. |

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 8
Directive 2014/45/EU
Article 9 – paragraph 4
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| In the case of obvious tampering or manipulation of any component of the vehicle, including its emission control system, silencer, safety-related systems, or odometers, with the aim of reducing or misrepresenting the distance record of a vehicle, such tampering or manipulation shall be considered as a major or dangerous deficiency and shall be punishable by effective, proportionate, dissuasive and non-discriminatory penalties. | In the case of obvious tampering or manipulation of any component of the vehicle, including its emission control system, silencer or safety-related systems, such tampering or manipulation shall be considered as a major or dangerous deficiency, if it has a negative effect on road safety or environmental protection. |
Or. en
Justification
The proposal incorrectly assumes that the person who falsified the odometer is also the vehicle owner. In practice, this is often not the case. Where a buyer acquires a manipulated vehicle in good faith, it is disproportionate that they must not only bear the loss in value, but also effectively cannot use the vehicle because it fails the inspection due to the odometer manipulation. Furthermore, only manipulations that undermine the objectives of this file, i.e. that negatively affect road safety or environmental protection, should be considered major or dangerous deficiencies.

Justification
While remote sensing can support the identification of high-emitting vehicles and contribute to more targeted enforcement, its mandatory application across all Member States does not appear proportionate at this stage. The progressive electrification of the vehicle fleet is expected to lead to structurally lower exhaust emissions and noise levels over time, which may gradually reduce the need for large-scale emissions and noise screening.

Each year, each Member State shall take the measures necessary to screen the equivalent of at least 30 % of the fleet of motor vehicles registered in its territory using that technology. | 1. Member States may use remote sensing technology to screen motor vehicles for their air pollutant and noise emissions in order to identify high-emitting, non-complying vehicles. The Commission may, on the basis of information provided by Member States using remote-sensing technologies, adopt delegated acts establishing a set of common remote-sensing thresholds for exhaust and noise emissions, together with the associated accuracy requirements, including provisions on repeated measurements. Those thresholds and requirements shall be used for the purpose of identifying high-emitting vehicles that require follow-up action in another Member State. |
Or. en
Justification
While remote sensing holds substantial long-term potential to improve the identification of high-emitting vehicles and to enable more targeted and efficient enforcement, the technology is not yet sufficiently mature to warrant mandatory application across all Member States. At this stage, its feasibility, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness still need to be demonstrated in operational conditions. Therefore, remote sensing should be an optional tool for Member States. However, they should be encouraged to undertake pilot projects to gather practical experience and to contribute to the evidence base needed for future harmonisation. The Commission, in the meantime, should develop delegated acts to establish common criteria. This approach ensures that the Union can advance towards a coherent remote sensing framework without imposing disproportionate obligations before the technology is fully validated.

| During technical roadside inspections, the functionality of commercial vehicle exhaust emission reduction systems is checked in accordance with the relevant emission standards. These standards are applied in accordance with Directive (EU) 2022/362 on the charging of fees for the use of certain transport infrastructure by vehicles, which results in different toll rates. Currently, however, commercial vehicles whose emission control systems have been tampered with by the registered owner can only be penalised for technical defects during technical roadside inspections. Unjustified toll benefits, however, go unpunished. In order to ensure a clean environment and fair competition, a procedure must therefore be established for technical roadside checks that enables exchange between Member States and prevents this abuse. |

Justification
The inclusion of N1 vehicles in the scope of Regulation 2014/47/EU is a welcomed step. However, given the different national circumstances such as control capacities, the Member States should determine the scope of the target that they have to fulfil. Where a Member State makes uses of more frequent testing (e.g. annually), that Member State should have the possibility to exclude N1 vehicles from roadside inspections.

Justification
Provides for the interconnection of national roadworthiness and odometer history databases, so that national authorities have real-time access to data on vehicles registered throughout the EU. This means transferring a prerogative and very strategic information to Brussels, which is not acceptable.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| 2a. 1. By [two years after the entry into force of this Directive], Member States shall adopt and publish the measures necessary to comply with the inspection of the items laid down in Annex I, point 3, with the exception of the items referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article. | |
| 2.

| 3. On the basis of that review, the Commission shall assess the need for the inspection of the electronic safety system items referred to in paragraph 2 and, where appropriate, establish the requirements for Member States to adopt and publish the measures necessary to comply with the inspection of the relevant items laid down in Annex I, point 3, item 10. |
Or. en
Justification
The Commission proposal significantly expands the scope of electronic safety system inspections without a sufficient assessment of their impact on road safety or their cost-effectiveness. Introducing a phased approach, combined with a mandatory review and cost-benefit analysis, ensures that only test items with a demonstrable contribution to road safety are maintained. This approach avoids unnecessary increases in inspection time and costs for consumers, allows inspection infrastructure and methodologies to mature, and supports a proportionate and evidence-based implementation of the new requirements.
