Inspection intervals vary by vehicle type:
- Passenger Cars: Annual inspection is mandatory. There is a 3-year exemption from the first registration.
- Minibus/Pickup: Subject to annual inspection.
- Bus/Truck: Requires inspection every 6 months.

Consequences of Driving Without Inspection

Insurance Types: Mandatory or Optional?
There are two main vehicle insurance types in Turkey:
- Mandatory Traffic Insurance: It is a legal obligation for every vehicle on the road. It covers material and bodily damages given to the other party. Driving with expired insurance causes heavy penalties.
- Automobile Insurance (Kasko): It is optional. It also covers the damages to your own vehicle. It also insures situations such as theft, fire, and natural disasters.
