A1Difficulty 2/5

As a general rule, are motorcycles registered for road use subject to periodic technical inspection once the required age is reached, even if engine capacity does not exceed 125 cc?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes. Under the ordinary regime, motorcycles are exempt from periodic inspection for the first four years and then undergo it every two years. Age is counted from first registration or entry into service. Engine capacity of 125 cc or less does not exempt them. Mopeds have their own inspection schedule; historic vehicles and other special cases may follow a different regime. Check the inspection date applicable to the vehicle.
