The Minister of Transport, Clément Beaune, recently granted an interview to gross in which he provided additional information on motorcycle technical control and his calendar. Thus, from early 2024, the oldest motorcycles and scooters will be subject to control.

The control period will extend from January 15 to March 15, but only for vehicles registered Before January 1, 2017.

The implementation will be done gradually until January 1, 2027 in order to avoid saturation of the control centers.

Another important question concerned the inclusion of the different types of motorized two-wheelers. Clément Beaune clarified that motorcycles of 125 cm3 and more, as well as mopeds of less than 125 cm3, would be subject to compulsory technical control. All category L vehicles will therefore be concerned.

The pace of inspections will be 5 years after the first registration, then every three years. This pace is more spaced compared to that of cars, which require an inspection after 4 years, then every 2 years.

Technical control itself will be considerably simplified, with about four times less control points than for cars. The details of the checkpoints are specified in the draft decree.

These points will certainly be those mentioned in our full article on the subject:

A public consultation is currently open until July 22, presenting the main lines of the project as well as the draft decree and decree:
