    Hello. The car had MOT until 13.07. The examination was carried out on 10.07. According to what I read, the inspection should be valid until 13.07.22. However, it is written that it is valid until 10.07.22. Shouldn't it be that if I do the review earlier, the later date to which the review was carried out should be entered in the proof?

    The review is valid for one year from the moment of its performance.

    It seems that work is underway to modify the law to make it work in this way, i.e. for the date to be maintained, the car must be inspected no earlier than a month before the deadline, but for now it is a year from the examination.

    It's wrong on the web

    From 2019, you can also perform a technical inspection of the car "in reserve", i.e. 30 days before the deadline. What's more, even if we perform the inspection faster, its validity will be extended by one year, counting from the date on the registration certificate.

    Probably not all stations know about it. I checked my ID and having a deadline of May 23, I did the research on May 14 and unfortunately the entry of the next examination is on May 14 of the next year.

    So they modified. You should be proud of the diagnostics.

    Because you don't listen to rumors, you only use the provisions of the law, and this is published at http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/
    ISAP - Internet System of Legal Acts
    The dates of the tests are specified in the Road Traffic Law, Art. 81
    Latest consolidated text OJ 2021 pos. 450 http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU20210000450

Periodic technical inspection of a passenger car, a truck with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3.5 t, a motorcycle or a trailer with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3.5 t shall be carried out before the expiry of 3 years from the date of first registration, then before the expiry of 5 years from first registration and no later than 2 years from the date of the previous technical inspection, and then before the end of the next year from the date of the inspection. This does not apply to a vehicle carrying dangerous goods, a taxi, a motor vehicle designed to transport 5 to 9 people, used for commercial road transport of people, a "SAM" vehicle, a gas-powered vehicle, an emergency vehicle and a vehicle used for driving lessons or state exam, which are subject to annual technical examinations.

    6. The technical examination of the vehicle consisting in re-checking the assemblies and systems, in which defects were found, shall be made in terms of their removal, if within a period not longer than 14 days from the date of the examination, the station where these defects were found checks. After performing the test consisting in re-checking the assemblies and systems, the authorized diagnostician, after finding that all significant faults and faults posing a threat have been removed, enters the next date of periodic technical inspection into the registration certificate. This period is counted from the date of the test in which the defects were found.

    The paragraphs say: Must be inspected within a year from the previous inspection. Does not apply to new and other special situations. Nothing about dates and extensions.

    "Nówka" of a four-year-old, after three years I'm doing a review .... now after a year I'm doing another review, the diagnostician didn't even blink an eye, I went through the health path, I got the registration card by paying PLN 99 earlier without any entry ..... I forgot, that the second review is done AFTER TWO YEARS and only the next one every year.

    The diagnostician decided that you are requesting an inspection out of safety concerns, resulting from your suspicion of faults. He considered this review to be additional, not mandatory.

    In Ireland you can do an inspection up to three months in advance. So if I do three months before the prescribed date, I have 15 months.

    Excerpt from:
    https://www.autobaza.pl/page/portal/news/zmia...hniciczne-samochodow-od-1-wrzesnia-2022-roku/

    "Examination 30 days ahead of schedule, taking into account the previous date
    Prospective drivers who arrive at the diagnostic station up to 30 days before the scheduled date will gain. In their case, the date of the next examination will be set for one year from the previously agreed date. This is a tribute to drivers who for some reason want to perform the test earlier (e.g. due to a planned trip)."


    It turns out that only from September 1, 2022 will there be an entry from the previous date, not the current date of the examination.

    You don't have for the next 15 months, you still have 12 months from the current date because those three months overlap.

    Ireland is a strange country, you can have tires, any other, but if you are missing a hubcap, you will not pass the inspection, unless .... you take off the other three. If the rear wiper is not working, there will be no service unless.... you remove the arm of that wiper. Worst of all, when the fuel filler cap jams, you can forget about the inspection. ;) :)

    Of course, the fact that changes in technical research will take effect from September 1, 2022, is not yet decided . Let us remind you that there has been talk of major changes in this area since autumn 2020. However, in the end, the draft went to the Legal Committee. Now it has to be approved by the government, then go to the plenary, be voted on and signed by the president .

    So when the relevant statute book appears, then we can discuss :!:

    And now it falls under SF

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers on the validity of a car's MOT (Ministry of Transport) inspection, specifically whether an examination conducted on July 10 should be valid until July 13, 2022, or only until July 10, 2022. Participants clarify that the current law states the inspection is valid for one year from the date of examination, and modifications to allow for earlier inspections to maintain the original expiration date are in progress but not yet implemented. A user notes discrepancies in how different diagnostic stations record inspection dates, leading to confusion. The conversation also references upcoming changes to regulations that will allow inspections to be conducted up to 30 days in advance while retaining the original expiration date.

FAQ

TL;DR: Poland’s 14‑day retest rule applies, and "periodic inspection is carried out annually"—so early tests reset the expiry to the exam date. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

Why it matters: It helps Poland-based drivers plan inspections without losing days and dispels the "30 days early" myth.

Quick Facts

  • Validity is counted one year from the inspection date; a 14‑day retest counts from the failed test date. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]
  • New cars: 3 years from first registration, then 2 years, then every year; listed special-use vehicles are annual. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]
  • Buses: first within one year, then every 6 months thereafter. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]
  • Historic vehicles and light trailers: no periodic inspections; historic used commercially require annual checks. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]
  • Early testing does not preserve the previous expiry date under current Polish law. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

Does an early vehicle inspection keep my old expiry date in Poland?

No. The next expiry is one year from the exam date. The law says "before the end of the next year from the date of the inspection." [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

I tested on 10.07, but my old expiry was 13.07. What is my new expiry?

It becomes 10.07 next year. Only a 14‑day retest after a failed test counts from the earlier failed test date. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

Where did the "30 days early keeps the date" idea come from?

It was discussed as a proposal. As of mid‑2022, forum updates noted it was not yet decided or enacted. [Elektroda, Jacdiag, post #20117778]

What is the official schedule for new cars (3‑5‑2‑1 rule)?

New cars: before 3 years from first registration, then before 5 years, then within 2 years, then annually thereafter. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

What happens if I fail the inspection? How does the 14‑day retest work?

Return to the same station within 14 days. The next date is counted from the failed test date. "This period is counted from the date of the test in which the defects were found." [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

What if I miss the 14‑day window or go to another station?

You lose the retest rule. Your next expiry then runs from the later inspection date at the new visit. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

How do rules differ for buses, taxis, LPG, ADR, and similar vehicles?

Buses: first within one year, then every 6 months. Taxis, ADR carriers, LPG vehicles, emergency, SAM, and driving‑school/exam vehicles: annual inspections. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

Are historic vehicles and light trailers exempt from periodic inspections?

Yes. Historic vehicles and light trailers are not subject to periodic inspections. Historic vehicles used commercially require annual checks. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

My station wrote the exam date as the new expiry when I went early. Is that wrong?

It is correct under current law. Early testing resets the clock to the exam day unless it was a 14‑day retest. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

Can I ask for an additional inspection that doesn’t change my mandatory schedule?

Some diagnosticians perform a voluntary additional check on request. It does not replace or extend the mandatory periodic schedule. [Elektroda, 750kV, post #20116091]

How should I plan an early inspection before a long trip without losing days?

  1. Check your current due date in the registration certificate.
  2. Book the inspection as close to the deadline as practical.
  3. If you must go early, note your next expiry runs from your exam date. This avoids unnecessary loss of remaining days. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

Did a change take effect on 1 Sept 2022 to preserve the previous date?

A widely shared article mentioned that date. A forum legal summary noted the change was still not approved or signed then. [Elektroda, Jacdiag, post #20117778]

If I test after my old expiry has passed, how is the new date set?

Your next expiry runs one year from the new inspection date. The law ties validity to the exam date. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

What entry goes in the registration certificate after a retest?

The diagnostician enters the next periodic date, counted from the date of the failed test that triggered the retest. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]

What are the intervals for agricultural tractors, agricultural trailers, and mopeds?

Before 3 years from first registration, then every 2 years thereafter. This schedule is set in Article 81. [“Prawo o ruchu drogowym – art. 81 (ISAP)”]
