How much does a car inspection (besiktning) cost in Sweden?
What the four main inspection companies publish about their prices.
Short answer
A car inspection (kontrollbesiktning) has no single price in Sweden, because Bilprovningen, Besikta and Carspect all say it varies by station, day and time of day. Opus Bilprovning lists petrol and diesel cars up to 3,500 kg from SEK 699 including VAT. A re-inspection (efterkontroll) is listed at SEK 359 to SEK 399.
Why
- Bilprovningen says there is no fixed price for a car up to 3,500 kg and that the price varies between stations and by day and time of day.
- Opus Bilprovning lists the lowest price for a petrol or diesel car up to 3,500 kg at SEK 699 including VAT and says it can vary by station, time of day and day.
- For a re-inspection of a car up to 3,500 kg the companies list SEK 389 (Bilprovningen), SEK 399 (Opus), SEK 359 (Besikta) and SEK 379 (Carspect).
Details
The prices on the company sites include VAT and are subject to adjustment. Carspect lists drop-in inspections at SEK 529 to SEK 999 depending on station, day and time, and Besikta adds SEK 100 to the base price for a drop-in visit. Heavier cars over 3,500 kg cost more, for example SEK 1,289 at Bilprovningen. For workshops that help with faults found at an inspection, see auto repair and maintenance services in Stockholm, and for the rules around the inspection see driving and traffic rules in Sweden.
Tip
Check the price in each company's booking tool for your own station, day and time, because the final price appears only after you choose them.
What may differ
Cars over 3,500 kg, gas-powered cars (Opus lists them from SEK 799 including VAT) and drop-in visits are priced differently from a standard petrol or diesel car.
Common misconception
A car inspection costs the same at every station in Sweden.
What actually happens
Bilprovningen says it applies market-adjusted pricing, so the price of an inspection can vary between stations and by day and time of day, and Besikta and Carspect say the same on their price pages.
