A critical date has been set for the changes in the inspection system that closely concern vehicle owners. According to industry representatives, the new system, which will be implemented in 2027, will eliminate appointment issues and long queues. While inspection times are expected to be significantly reduced, the aim is to ensure that the service reaches every location through mobile stations.
The countdown has begun for a radical change in the vehicle inspection system. According to industry representatives, the new model to be implemented in 2027 will significantly reduce the problems of finding appointments and congestion at stations.
In Turkey, the number of vehicles has exceeded 33.8 million, putting pressure on the capacity of the existing system. Currently, approximately 16 million inspection processes are carried out annually at 217 stations, while the increasing demand causes drivers to struggle to find appointments and leads to long queues.
NEW MODEL FOR APPOINTMENT ISSUES
With the new system, at least 250 fixed stations will be established, and the total number of inspection lines will be increased to 850. This capacity increase aims to reduce the congestion experienced, especially in large cities, and to largely resolve the appointment crisis.
INSPECTION TIMES WILL BE SHORTENED
Thanks to investments in technology and automation, the speed of inspection processes will increase. It is planned to reduce the processing times for heavy vehicles, which can take up to 45 minutes, to approximately 20 minutes. This change is expected to provide time advantages for both individual vehicle owners and the transportation sector.
MOBILE STATIONS WILL BE INTRODUCED
As part of the new model, 80 mobile stations will be put into service. This way, vehicle owners living in rural and hard-to-reach areas will be able to access inspection services without traveling long distances. The aim is to distribute the service network more evenly across the country. The system, which will be implemented with a total investment of 1.72 billion dollars, will prioritize digitalization, speed, and accessibility. Industry representatives state that the new era starting in 2027 will largely eliminate the problems faced by drivers.
TÜVTÜRK WAS AT THE CENTER OF REACTIONS
Police officer Melih Okan Keskin, who served at the Ankara Batıkent Şehit Ramazan Çağlar Police Center, was assaulted by station employees at TÜVTÜRK on February 2, 2026, when he went to have his car undergo routine inspection. After the fight, he was found to have a shift and bleeding in his brain at the hospital he went to on his own. 44-year-old Melih Okan Keskin had passed away.
