MOT test

The periodic inspection is mandatory

According to section 54 of the Road Traffic Act, passenger cars and vans must be inspected after having received a notice. The first MOT test is 4 years after the car's registration date. The car is subsequently called in for inspection every two years.

The Danish Transport Authority will send a notice for the MOT test to your e-Boks 6-8 weeks before the deadline. If you do not comply with the time of the notice from the Danish Transport Authority, you will be fined DKK 2,000, and in the end, the police may confiscate the car's license plate.

When should you drive your company car for inspection?

If the company car turns 4 years old during your leasing period, you are responsible for driving the car to the MOT test when you receive the notice. If your leasing car will be returned before it turns 4 years, it does not have to go for an MOT test while you have it. The company car does not have to go for an MOT test if the car's return date falls on the day before it turns 4 years. In that situation, you can simply disregard the notice from the Danish Transport Authority, and we will take care of the MOT test.

This is the MOT test process:

1. The notice for an MOT test is sent directly to you via e-Boks 6-8 weeks before the deadline of the inspection
2. You book an appointment for a MOT test at FDM here (re-inspection can be booked here)
   • Enter the car’s registration number
   • Choose your preferred vehicle inspection facility
   • Select date and time
   • Enter your personal information
3. You drive the car for the MOT test to the selected vehicle inspection facility at the selected time. An MOT test at FDM takes about 30 min.
4. Inspection report and collection of inspection costs are subsequently sent automatically to NF Fleet

In the unlikely event that the car is rejected at inspection, you must immediately contact NF Fleet's customer service on +45 88 44 40 00.
