Here in the UK, once a vehicle is three years old, it has to be submitted for a annual MOT test.
My vehicle, a Mazda CX5, which I have had since 2013, was due its MOT at the end of this month.
It was booked into the testing station today.
Brilliant news, it passed the examination. That’s eight consecutive years with no work to be carried out.

Same here in Australia our cars also need a yearly rego check before it can registered for another year
I didn’t realise the Australian system did safety checks ! Are they as tough as the UK, i.e., checking brakes, tyres, lights, condition of the steering and suspension, and also exhaust emissions.
Hell yeah those things have to be checked and the car must pass the rego check before it can be registrated
