Recital 4
(4) A number of technical standards and requirements on vehicle safety have been adopted within the Union. It is however necessary to ensure, through a regime of periodic roadworthiness tests, that after being placed on the market, vehicles continue to meet safety standards throughout their lifetime. This regime should apply toMember States might introduce national requirements concerning roadworthiness tests for categories of vehicles as defined in Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type- approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 92/61/EEC,. This regime should apply to categories of vehicles as defined in Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval for motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles and Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units and repealing Directive 74/150/EEC.

(7) Solid investigation results show that 8% of thetudies of accidents involving motorcycles are caused by or linked to technical defects. Motorcycle riders are the group of road users with the highest safety risk, with rising trend in the number of fatal yield widely differing results. It is recognised that, in general, motorcycle riders maintain their vehicle properly, with few accidents relating to the vehicle’s mechanical conditieson. Moped drivers are overrepresented in the number of fatalities, with more than 1,400 drivers killed on the roads in 2008. The scope of vehicles to be tested shall therefore be extended to the highest risk group of road users, the powered two- or three-wheel vehicles.

Recital 10
(10) Roadworthiness testing is a sovereign activity and should therefore be done by the Member States or by entrusted bodies under their supervision. Member States should remain responsible for organising roadworthiness testing in any cases even if the national system allows for authorisation of private bodies, including those involved in performing repairs.

Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) Odometer fraud is considered to affect between 5% and 12% of used cars sales within a single country, while the figure is far higher in the case of cross-border sales, resulting in a very important cost to society of several billions Euros yearly and in an incorrect evaluation of a roadworthiness condition of a vehicle. With a view to combat odometer fraud, the recording of mileage in the roadworthiness certificate combined with the obligation to present the certificate of the previous test would facilitate the detection of tampering or manipulation of the odometer. Member States may monitor the accuracy of mileage readings throughout the lifetime of a vehicle by means of central databases containing information on all mileage readings registered with various parties (dealers, repair services, testing centres). Odometer fraud should also be more systematically considered as an offence liable to a penalty.

2. It shall, on the basis of that examination, put forward and evaluate different policy options, including the possibility to remove the requirement of a proof of test as provided for in Article 10 and the establishment of a system for exchanging information about mileage readings between Member States in the event of cross-border sales.
