If your vehicle's inspection date has passed, it is legally risky to drive in traffic. You may face a traffic fine at police checkpoints. During the inspection process itself; a delay fee of 5% of the inspection fee is collected for each month the inspection period is delayed.
If you are wondering exactly how much extra you will pay, you can find out the net amount via TÜVTÜRK's official delay fee calculation tool by entering your vehicle's last inspection validity date.
