In Denmark when a car reaches 6 years, it needs to be safety checked to be used on the roads. After that it’s every 2nd years.

Tesla model 3 managed these safety checks extremely poorly, with 3 times the average failure rate.

In total, 1,392 errors were found on the Tesla model, which is three times as many compared to the other electric cars.

    Other brands have mandatory service to maintain warranty, so they likely replace parts just before inspection rather than just after.

      brakes are not generally on the list for more than an inspection - which quick lube plates won’t do.

        But a simple visual inspection is all you need to see if there’s rust on the discs requiring action before the safety inspection. And it’s this check many BEV owner’s don’t do, so it’s not caught until they do the actual safety inspection.
