Active Framework
safety Framework
It eliminates hidden defects, preventing buyers from unknowingly buying severely damaged vehicles with tampered odometers or compromised electronics.
While no system is completely flawless, mandatory physical checks across a central ledger heavily mitigate odometer rolling, identity cloning, and vehicle laundering.
Yes. Essential safety infrastructure—including brake response metrics, suspension components, airbag setups, and frame alignment—is thoroughly tested.
By filtering out rolling hazards, worn steering rods, and degraded brake lines before they reach the country, it lowers the risk of mechanical failure on roads.
Yes. While driver behavior varies, ensuring every imported car meets strict mechanical standards addresses an explicit cause of vehicle crashes.
Brakes must demonstrate stable deceleration power and balanced distribution across all wheels without dangerous pulling or fluid leaks.
Yes. A vehicle with active diagnostic airbag fault lights, missing modules, or deployed safety curtains will be issued an immediate failure notice.
Inspectors use digital alignment tech to identify structurally compromised frames caused by high-impact collisions or unanchored subframes.
Cracks in the driver's direct line of sight or severe fracturing that undermines glass strength will cause an automatic inspection failure.
Yes. Tires must meet or exceed a minimum safe tread depth of 1.6mm and be free of dry rot or sidewall bulging to pass safety requirements.
Lighting must conform to legal road-use specifications. Excessively bright, unaligned HID/LED kits that blind oncoming drivers will be rejected.
Yes. Seatbelt locking systems and structural anchor point connections are tested to ensure proper occupant restraint in an impact.
An active Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) malfunction lamp triggers a failure, requiring a diagnostic clear and repair before certificate release.
Surface oxidation is acceptable, but deep structural rust that weakens frame integrity, floor pans, or suspension mounts causes a failure.
Inspectors cross-reference physical dashboard readings with official export logs and registration databases to flag any anomalies.
Yes. The horn must emit an audible warning sound, and all standard dashboard indicators must operate cleanly during start cycles.
Vehicles with heavily altered, cut, or unsafely slammed suspensions that impact wheel travel or steering clear lines will fail.
Yes. Both side-view mirrors, the rear-view mirror, and functional wiper blades with working washer pumps are mandatory for visibility.
Suppliers or owners must provide documented proof that critical safety recalls have been repaired prior to standard PVoC sign-off.
No. The platform utilizes digitized logging. Bypassing inspection metrics is strictly illegal and will lead to total asset forfeiture.
