Common Reasons Vehicles Fail Their Inspection Tests
Vehicle inspections are also part and parcel of road safety in Dubai. It ensures a car meets requirements set down by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Surely whether registering again or selling, one must pass inspection. For many drivers the first visit to a vehicle testing center in Al Quoz is usually surprising when not passing, often due to minor, avoidable issues.
At MRG Auto, we regularly assist our clients to prepare for inspections and they always show the same reasons why most of them fail. Below are what one should look out for:
Condition of the tires
Worn-out or damaged tires are some of the most common reasons for failing the inspection test. Inspectors check the tire for tread depth, cracks, bulges, and alignment. Even tires that “look okay” might either be underlegal limits or show signs of uneven wear that indicate suspension or alignment issues.
Tip: Before your appointment at a vehicle testing center in Al Quoz, ensure that the tires are in good condition and inflated properly; preferably not older than five years.
Lighting Issues
All the lights of your vehicle must be functional, whether it is the headlights, the tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, reverse lights, or number plate lights. A single burnt bulb can be the automatic reason for failure, more so if done within RTA inspection center in Dubai because they are a little picky about things.
Tip: Do a quick walk-around check or get your lights tested professionally before inspection.
Brake Problems
Brakes are critical for safety, and hence, all these tests are done. If your brake pads are worn, there are some kinds of uneven braking, or your handbrake isn’t functional, then your vehicle might easily fail. Moreover, there is a check carried out on brake fluid levels as well as checks for possible leaks.
Tip: In case of squeaking, grinding, or vibrations during braking, don’t fail to spot a professional check-up at MRG Auto beforehand.
Emissions and Exhaust
Heavy exhaust smoke or failing the emission tests can hurt your inspection. The laws go very far in Dubai in terms of the exhaust emissions from vehicles as it would go toward having fresh air for the area. Signs such as the strong smell of exhaust fumes or dark smoke can be a cause for concern.
Tip: Service regularly, keep the fuel clean, and keep an eye on that catalytic converter, and your vehicle should stay under the emission limits.
Windshield and Visibility
It is common for a cracked or chipped windshield along the driver’s line of sight to be a reason for failure. Clear visibility is important, and they won’t pass a vehicle with large visual obstructions.
Tip: Do not wait for the small cracks to get worse and have the windshield repaired or replaced before the RTA inspection center in Dubai.
Leaks and Fluid Levels
Heaven and earth make leaks from engine oil, coolant, or brake fluid. Inspectors look for clear signs where drips of fluids have landed and then check the reservoirs for appropriate levels.
Tip: If you see any stains under your car parked, please visit a technician to trace the source before your inspection
Suspension and Steering
Your vehicle’s suspension and steering systems will need to be in perfect working order to avoid failing the inspection. Among the most visible signs of such failure include an unsteady ride, excess bouncing, or the car pulling to one side.
Tip: If at any time your car feels unsteady driving, quickly book a diagnostic check with MRG Auto. This ensures you catch up early on any developing issues.
Unauthorized Modifications
Any modifications such as tinted windows, loud exhaust systems, or altered suspensions have specifications set by the RTA after which they are not approved; they could fail one at inspections.
Tip: Always ensure that modifications are documented or recorded as types approved before going to any vehicle testing center in Al Quoz.
Identification and Credentialing
Chassis and engine numbers should be conspicuously visible and match the documents. In their absence, tampering, or being illegible, the car cannot give a passing grade.
Tip: Make sure to check the details and documents concerning your vehicle to clear up any discrepancies before the inspection date.
