The old saying “Safety first” holds true in all aspects of life, especially when operating a truck on the road. Ensuring your safety and the safety of others is guaranteed by regular vehicle inspections. What is a vehicle inspection? What’s the process? Let’s delve into the details with Hanoi Truck!
A vehicle inspection is a periodic technical examination to determine if your vehicle meets the safety and emission standards mandated by law.
Imagine this: Mr. Minh’s Hyundai truck, used for transporting goods on the busy Nguyen Trai Street, has a braking system showing signs of wear and tear after prolonged use. Without timely inspection and maintenance, the truck could pose a danger to Mr. Minh and other road users.
Vehicle inspections act as a “safety net,” providing peace of mind for Mr. Minh and countless other drivers.

Many drivers are apprehensive about the perceived complexity of vehicle inspection procedures. In reality, the process for trucks and other vehicles has been significantly simplified.
Step 1: Prepare the necessary documents
Required documents include:
Step 2: Choose an inspection center
You can choose any inspection center that is convenient for you; it doesn’t have to be where the vehicle was registered. In Hanoi, you can easily find reputable inspection centers in districts like Cau Giay, Long Bien, Ha Dong…
Step 3: Undergo the inspection
At the inspection center, staff will guide you to move your vehicle through various inspection areas: dimension and weight check, brake system, lights, emissions, etc.
Step 4: Receive the results
After the inspection is completed, you will receive the results. If your vehicle meets the requirements, you will be issued a certificate and an inspection sticker. If not, you will receive a notification of necessary repairs and will have to return for re-inspection after addressing the issues.
