It is part of the obligations of any driver, and has not escaped the galloping inflation in force for several months.
Indeed, the price of the technical control has, according to TF1, increased by 20% in ten years.
And even if it does not prevent you from using your vehicle, it remains essential in the event of a roadside check, for any "private vehicle whose GVW is less than or equal to 3.5 tonnes, whether internal combustion, hybrid or electricity", as indicated on the administration's website.
From 52 to 133 control points
So why this increase?
Technical control requires more checkpoints.
Their number has thus increased from 52 in 1992 to 133 today.
Braking equipment, steering, visibility, lights, reflective devices, wheels and tyres, chassis… everything is scrutinized.
And, in the event of a major failure, the vehicle will have to pass a counter-visit, which may lead to additional repair costs.
To help drivers identify the most advantageous rates, approved centers are required to display the prices at their entrance, depending on the type of energy of the vehicle.
Note that postponements of appointments due to the first confinement have a longer wait to obtain a slot.
