What is the Austrian Pickerl inspection?

The Austrian Pickerl, officially known as the §57a Begutachtung, is a mandatory technical inspection for vehicles and their trailers to ensure they are roadworthy and operationally safe according to Austrian law.

How often does a new passenger car need a Pickerl inspection in Austria?

For new passenger cars, the Pickerl inspection follows a '3-2-1' rule: the first inspection is due after 3 years, then after 2 years, and subsequently annually every 1 year.

Is there a grace period for Pickerl inspections in Austria?

Yes, in Austria, you are permitted to have the inspection performed one month before the due date or up to four months after the due date. However, during these four months, it is illegal to drive the vehicle abroad. After the four-month grace period, it is illegal to drive the vehicle in Austria as well.

During a Pickerl inspection, key elements such as equipment, lighting, safety devices, chassis and body, tires and wheels, engine, and brakes are thoroughly checked to ensure they meet safety and environmental standards.

Driving with an overdue or expired Pickerl can result in significant fines and penalties. More importantly, it compromises road safety and could lead to severe consequences in the event of an accident, potentially affecting insurance coverage.
