Periodic Inspection
Periodic inspection is the regular vehicle compliance check at LTA-authorised centres, where window tint VLT is one of the verification points.
The inspection schedule for private cars in Singapore: years 1–3 no inspection; year 3 first inspection; every 2 years thereafter until 10 years; annual after that.
Each inspection includes a VLT measurement of every tinted window. Any window below the legal minimum fails the inspection.
Drivers planning to tint just before an inspection should pick a film with a comfortable safety margin above the minimum, ideally with a workshop guarantee of inspection pass.
