How can you get old inspection reports for a car?
Which company holds the protocol and how three of them hand it out.
Short answer
Ask the inspection company that carried out the inspection, because Transportstyrelsen says that is where to get a copy of a protocol. Bilprovningen offers Mina sidor and a retrieval service for protocols at most three years old, Opus uses Mina sidor, and Carspect sends copies by email.
Why
- Transportstyrelsen says that if you want a copy of a protocol, you should turn to the company that carried out the inspection.
- Bilprovningen says you can see and print protocols in Mina sidor, that a retrieval service covers other cases, that protocols are at most three years old, and that they are public records.
- Opus says you find your protocols by logging in to Mina sidor and can only see protocols for vehicles you own, while Carspect says copies can be sent by email if you have the registration number.
Details
Carspect says its protocols exist only for vehicles inspected at Carspect, and that you contact its customer service. Bilprovningen's pages describe protocols that are at most three years old, so ask the company if you need older ones. Check which company inspected the car last time before you ask. See auto repair and maintenance in Stockholm and driving and traffic rules in Sweden.
Tip
Have the registration number ready, and if you are buying a car ask the seller which company did the last inspection.
What may differ
The route depends on the company, since each one runs its own service, and it also depends on whether you own the vehicle, as Opus shows protocols only for vehicles you own.
Common misconception
Transportstyrelsen can send you your old inspection protocols.
What actually happens
Transportstyrelsen says to turn to the company that carried out the inspection when you want a copy of a protocol.
