First-Time Vehicle Inspection: What You Need to Know

Just bought a brand new Hino box truck from the dealership on Pham Van Dong Street? Congratulations! To officially own it, get your license plate, and hit the road, remember these essential documents for your first vehicle inspection:

• Vehicle registration application (standard form)
• Vehicle manufacturing certificate, warranty booklet

• Proof of registration fee and license plate fee payment
• Vehicle quality inspection certificate

Note:

• It’s recommended to photocopy an extra set of documents.

Buying a used truck can save you money, but the inspection process requires more attention. In addition to the documents required for new vehicles, you’ll also need:

• Vehicle registration certificate from the previous owner
• Bill of sale or gift certificate (notarized)

3. Inspection Procedure for Vehicles with Expired Registration

Just like us, vehicles need regular check-ups. The procedure for vehicles with expired registration is relatively simple. You’ll need:

• Valid liability insurance

Expert Advice: Mr. Nguyen Van A, an automotive engineer at Hyundai, shares, “Many vehicle owners neglect timely inspections, waiting until the registration expires. This is dangerous, leading to hefty fines and potential safety risks on the road.”
