The requirements for vehicle inspections for taxi and private hire licence applications and renewals.
All taxis (hackney carriages) and private hire vehicles must pass an inspection carried out by an authorised mechanic before a vehicle can be licensed.
If a vehicle is more than 3-years old when first licensed or renewed, it will require 2 vehicle inspections a year:
When you renew your vehicle licence, you will have to present the inspection certificate that you received from your most recent 6-monthly inspection plus a current valid inspection.
If you do not present these inspection certificates, it may delay your renewal and you may have to pay further charges.
To speed up this process, we have authorised a number of garages to carry out the necessary inspections. To book, please contact the garages directly.
