ViCom Car Inspection - Feedback
« on: April 10, 2011, 06:21:47 PM »
Hi All

Just completed inspection for my 5yrs old sedan at Bukit Batok Vicom.  Below is the feedback for your awareness:

- pole light white color - failed
- license light white color - failed
- reverse light white color - failed

They failed my inspection due to the above.  Had some argument with them but eventually need to change though they agree i need not pay for re-inspection.  So quickly
drove to AutoAid who help me replace these lights. Time was wasted here so beware of these.  I had the same setup and inspected there 2 yrs ago but they didnt fail inspection.  Looks like they are very particular on these white lights now.

STA was in the act of bribery last year. Inspector jailed also. Don't want to be implicated by their sub standard inspection.

I passed my at Vicom Changi in Feb but was told to get my pole light changed back to original, I guess you had 3 that's why they fail you.

From LTA website :
http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/maintain_vehicle/inspection.html

1st time that I heard of this inspection at year 0

PDI is pre-delivery inspection and is conducted by the agent (not LTA) before releasing the car to the buyer
