§57a in detail

  • Small cost contribution to the long-term preservation of the vehicle
  • Clear indication of only really necessary repairs
  • Personal advice on the timing of regular inspections
  • Assurance of traffic and operational safety
  • Appointment management allows precise coordination of maintenance planning

The check takes about 45 minutes. You must bring the following with you for the inspection

  • Vehicle registration certificate
  • For non-registered vehicles: approval document (type certificate, COC, individual approval certificate, extract from the approval database, etc.).
  • In the case of historic vehicles, the logbook-type records of the last 2 years and the approval document (a copy may be required) must also be submitted.
  • Vehicles with gas engines must be presented with a gas tank that is at least 2/3 full (leak test).

There are 2 parts of the registration certificate:

  • The 1st part is longer and you always have it with you.
  • The 2nd part is 1/4 shorter and is attached to the type certificate at the registration office. The 1st part is absolutely necessary for the §57a appraisal and for carrying with the vehicle documents.

We need the following data to calculate the pickle due date of your vehicle:

  • Category
  • Licensed as taxi, rescue or ambulance service
  • Date of first registration
  • Last picker hole

For holidays in certain regions, please note that Austrian overdraft periods are not observed.

In the event of a serious defect during the § 57a assessment, the repaired vehicle no longer has to undergo a complete inspection.

Only the elimination of the serious defect and obviously new defects are assessed.

Prerequisite for this: The vehicle must be presented at the same assessment centre within four weeks and must not have travelled more than 1,000 km during this time.

Vehicles with serious defects may continue to be used for a maximum of two months, but not longer than the period indicated on the sticker (including any tolerance periods).

Within these two months, defects must be rectified and the vehicle must be reassessed.

  • If defects are found in the context of the §57a appraisal imminent danger, further use of the vehicle is already not permitted today. We are obliged to report these defects to the competent authority - this is done fully automatically.
  • The authority sends a notification to the vehicle owner about a suspension of the registration of the affected vehicle or orders the suspension of the registration. The license plates must then be surrendered.
  • If the registration is suspended, there are no costs for deregistration and registration!
  • The license plates of the vehicle will be returned after the repair has been completed. The repair of the defects must be proven by a positive §57a appraisal.

In the event of an accident, an expired sticker can have far-reaching consequences. Namely, in cases where the accident was caused by a defect in the vehicle that would have been remedied in the course of a sticker assessment. This is where vehicle owners and drivers are held responsible. The insurance company may not accept liability, and the accident costs often have to be borne by the driver.
