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.

    In the UK the safety check (the MOT) starts 3 years after the car is first sold, and annually after that. MOT results are categorised into “pass,” “minor (= warnings)” or “major.” If any findings are marked as “dangerous,” you can’t drive the vehicle until they’re fixed. Otherwise, if it failed, you can still drive the vehicle as long as its old MOT hasn’t yet expired. Driving with “dangerous” findings will get you in some major trouble, including fines and a driving ban.
