No longer a formality for drivers: vehicle inspection in Ukraine will become stricter, more expensive, and include photo documentation.


Changes in the procedure of vehicle inspection in Ukraine
As of May 19, 2025, significant changes will come into effect in Ukraine's vehicle inspection procedure. According to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 286, the inspection will transform into a full examination with increased attention to each stage.
One of the key innovations will be the mandatory photo documentation of the process. Each stage of the vehicle inspection will be documented with photographs that will be stored in a single electronic database. This will prevent any attempts to alter or forge photographs, as they must meet strict standards.
Increased tariffs and consequences for drivers
Due to the changes in the vehicle inspection procedure, a significant increase in tariffs is expected. If previously the inspection of passenger cars cost 1050 hryvnias, from May 19 this cost will rise to 1700. The cost of inspecting trucks and buses will also increase to 2300 hryvnias.
Delaying the vehicle inspection may have serious consequences for drivers, including fines, temporary bans on operating the vehicle, loss of transportation licenses, and even restrictions on traveling abroad with their own vehicles.
The new vehicle inspection rules in Ukraine will aim to enhance road safety and improve the quality control system of vehicles. The changes include mandatory photo documentation of the inspection process and increased monitoring of vehicle conditions, which could positively affect the overall condition of the country's vehicle fleet.
