I am pleased to tell you that Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness (CVR) testing resumed on 18 May 2020, initially only for those vehicles with a test due date prior to 28 March 2020 (i.e. for vehicles that did not benefit from the three-month extension to certificates of roadworthiness). CVR testing is expected to resume fully over the following weeks for those vehicles with a test due date on or after 28 March 2020.
Please note that under regulation 3(9) of the Road Traffic (National Car Test) Regulations 2017 (S.I. No. 415 of 2017) and regulation 4(2) of the Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness (Vehicle Testing) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 347 of 2013) as amended, vehicles owned or operated by the Garda Síochána or the Defence Forces are not subject to roadworthiness testing.
