Will a car with a cracked windshield be refused registration?

    Kim Thủy |

    Mr. Le Minh Tuan (Lao Cai) asked: "If the rear windshield is slightly cracked, will the vehicle be rejected when going for inspection?"

    Windshields play an important role in protecting people in the vehicle and ensuring the rigidity of the vehicle structure. Therefore, the condition of the windshield is always one of the factors checked during vehicle inspection.

    According to regulation QCVN 122:2024 on motor vehicle inspection, if the front windshield is cracked and affects the driver's vision or the rear, side, or upper windshield is punctured or seriously broken, the vehicle will be assessed as having a serious defect (MaD) and not eligible for inspection.

    However, if the rear windshield is only slightly cracked, does not affect visibility and all other inspection items are satisfactory, this defect is classified as a minor defect (MiD). In this case, the vehicle can still be issued an inspection certificate.

    Thus, in the case of Mr. Le Minh Tuan, if the rear windshield is only slightly cracked and does not limit visibility, the vehicle can still be inspected. However, to ensure safety when traveling, the vehicle owner should consider repairing the windshield as soon as possible.
