According to all indications, the leadership of the Ministry of Transport is oriented towards the closure of all public KTEOs due to their poor and deficient operation.

Next June, the deadline given to the public Vehicle Technical Control Centers for their mandatory certification according to ISO and according to the information so far expires, the leadership of the Ministry of Transport is not going to give a new extension, a tactic that has been followed in recent years. Essentially aiming at de-addiction from deficit activities, the Ministry of Transport is expected not to extend the life of the public KTEOs whose number amounts to 59, as they are already in operation 130 private KTEOs.

With the percentage of citizens who are not in a hurry to pass their vehicle through a technical inspection now amounting to 50%, the deficient infrastructures, the lack of a computerized system and the inability to connect them online with the Ministry of Transport, mathematically lead the public KTEOs to closure. The aforementioned shortcomings maintain the absence of a substantial and timely recording of vehicles that pass or escape the Technical Inspection, a fact that has led to and maintains the high levels of abstinence we mentioned above. Despite the contractual obligation, public KTEOs do not have the necessary certification from the National Accreditation System (ESYD), almost all of them.

From the 2003 until today, The Department of Transport has given successive extensions, however, this tactic seems to be abandoned now. According to the information that has seen the light of day, the vehicles that escape the Technical Control in our country amount to 2,5 from. (on a nationwide level) as a result of which the missing public revenues reach 310 from. euro.
