In 2019, NTSA issued tough rules on the motor vehicle inspection regulations in an effort to tame perennial road carnage. All driving school vehicles, commercial vehicles, school buses, and public service vehicles shall undergo a pre-registration inspection and an annual periodic vehicle inspection thereafter. All vehicles that have been involved in accidents may be subject to motor vehicle inspection. All salvage vehicles shall undergo a salvage motor vehicle inspection after the necessary repairs and upgrades are carried out and an annual periodic inspection thereafter. According to NTSA, a motorcycle costs Sh1,300, three-wheelers and vehicles up to 3000cc Sh2,600, vehicles over 3000cc Sh3,900, trailers up to five tonnes Sh2,000, trailers over five tonnes and heavy commercial vehicles Sh4,600.
