MINIMUM TEST TIMES
As from 1st June 2026, all vehicle test stations in the Western Cape follow other provinces in the implementation of new minimum test times for tests. These provisions are as per a directive from both the National Department of Transport and the Western Cape Department of Mobility. The intention is to enable Vehicle Examiners to perform a proper test in accordance with SANS 10047.
What this means for customers is that there may be a longer waiting time, as an Examiner may not proceed with the next test until the test time of the previous test has elapsed. The NaTIS system has been programmed in this way to ensure a consistent and proper test. See test times below.
