Netherlands · Periodic inspection
When is the APK due in the Netherlands?
The APK is due 4, 6 and 8 years after the car was first registered, and every year after that.
That is the rule for petrol cars. Diesel and LPG cars are first inspected at 3 years, then every year.
These are the rules for private cars. Taxis, vans, motorcycles, classic and imported cars often differ, and the inspection authority has the final word.
Let DriveKeeper remember it.
It tells you a month before the inspection — and keeps track of the oil, the tyres and the insurance, by how much you actually drive.
The app is free. Being told is €9, once.
