Here's how to proceed, and prepare. </p> <div class="article-body__detail js-article-body-detail"> <p>The annual technical inspection can provoke cries of horror. The check, known as <a href="https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/transport/transports-individuels/vehicule-motorise/controle-technique-pneumatiques/controle-technique-obligatoire-vehicule.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contrôle Technique (CT)</a>, even left one grown man in <a href="https://today.rtl.lu/entertainment/the-luxembourg-wurst/a/1303420.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a state of emotional ruin</a> (according to the Wurst, at least).</p><p>They needn't lead to turmoil, though, so long as you have the right documents with you and do a little vehicle prep before you go.</p><h2 class="article-title">How and when to book a test</h2><div class="ad-slot ad-slot--inside-article is-visuallyhidden"> <div class="ad-slot__inside-article"> <div class="js-ad js-ad--inside-article" id="inside-article" data-position="inside-article" data-articleid="" data-tags="" data-pagetype="" data-container=""></div> </div> </div><p>You'll receive a letter from the <a href="https://www.snct.lu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Vehicle Testing Centre (SNCT)</a> around eight weeks before your vehicle is due for inspection.</p><p>If you don't get one, don't fret. It may be because your vehicle isn't eligible because it's too new or it's low-powered, such as a moped (full list of exceptions <a href="https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/transport/transports-individuels/vehicule-motorise/controle-technique-pneumatiques/controle-technique-obligatoire-vehicule.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>). However, in this case it will still need a <a href="https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/transport/transports-individuels/vehicule-motorise/demarches-certificat-immatriculation.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">valid registration sticker</a>. You also don't need the letter in order to book an appointment. In case you're unsure if and when you'll need to go, check your certificate in the car.</p><p>You may also require an inspection under specific circumstances, including: significant modifications to your vehicle; following a major accident; importing a vehicle from overseas (especially outside the EEA and Switzerland); and, if you're requested to do so by police following a vehicle check. Sometimes something as basic as new tyres and rims also need to be included on your registration cards. It's better to be safe than sorry.</p><p>SNCT's main inspection sites are:</p><p><ul><li><strong>Sandweiler: </strong>open Monday-Friday 7am to 4.30pm, closed on weekends</li><li><strong>Esch-sur-Alzette: </strong>open Monday-Friday 7am to 9pm, Saturday 7am to 1pm, closed on Sundays</li><li><strong>Marnach: </strong>open Monday-Friday 7.30am to 4.30pm, closed on weekends</li><li><strong>Livange: </strong>open Monday-Friday 7am to 4pm, Saturday 7am to 1pm, closed on Sundays</li></ul></p><p>You can make appointments easily online via the <a href="https://www.snct.lu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SNCT website</a>.</p><p>You can also book an appointment with <a href="https://www.dekra.lu/fr/betrange/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DEKRA</a> in <strong>Bertrange</strong>, <a href="https://www.luks.lu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LU KS</a> in <strong>Lorentzweiler </strong>or <strong>Gasperich</strong>, or any from a list of <a href="https://www.snct.lu/clients-particuliers/le-controle-technique-aupres-de-nos-partenaires" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved garages</a>. Remember that there may be differences in price between these options.</p><p>Since the Covid pandemic, SNCT have also provided a <a href="https://snct.lu/home-control" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home control system</a> for those concerned about limiting travel. It's open to everyone and costs €88.00 including vehicle transport and insurance. Book it by calling 26 15 62 333 or emailing homect@snct.lu.</p><h2 class="article-title">How much does it cost?</h2><p>Cars, pickup trucks and small vans cost €67.50, with a small discount for electric vehicles. Motorbikes cost €44, while re-tests are either €27 or € 33 depending on whether a second pit inspection is needed.</p><p>You can find a more detailed price list <a href="https://www.snct.lu/clients-particuliers/tarifs-du-controle-technique" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p><h2 class="article-title">How do I prepare?</h2><p>Before the test, check that your windscreen wash fluid is full and wipers are resting in the right position. Check that all of your lights are in full working order, including fog lights and indicators. Check that the vehicle contains a yellow vest, spare tyre and reflective breakdown ('emergency') triangle. It's also worth checking the pressure of your tyres at the petrol station and ensuring that all the windows are clean and free from obstruction. A full list of what they inspect is <a href="https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/transport/transports-individuels/vehicule-motorise/controle-technique-pneumatiques/controle-technique-obligatoire-vehicule.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p><p>Your vehicle must be covered by insurance. You'll also need to bring the following documents:</p><p><ul><li>grey registration card</li><li>previous technical inspection certificate (unless this is your first CT)</li><li>European conformity certificate for vehicles registered after 1 January 1988</li><li>proof of valid insurance (green card)</li><li>currently valid tax disc.</li></ul></p><h2 class="article-title">My vehicle failed CT! What now?</h2><p>In the event that your vehicle fails the test, you'll be given a temporary inspection certificate valid for four weeks. At the end of this period you'll get a second chance at inspection, so use the period to fix any faults identified during the test.</p><p>The re-test will only look at faults previously identified, so as long as you remedy those, you don't need to worry too much about passing second time round.</p><p>During the temporary certificate period, you are only allowed to use the vehicle to travel between the inspection centre, garage, and your place of residence.</p><p>If your vehicle is in a state of disrepair, it may be more economical to get it <a
