Yes, at the moment. I don't think that the seller was expecting to sell the vehicle for export. The certifier, in any case. There should be no doubt that more such unsafe vehicles are driven on Dutch roads, thanks to this unmonitored system
Pskalli welcome to the forum, your post is unique and its probably the only clam shell that I have liked so far. stay in touch. a big vintage American wagon in Europe has the be cool, and I imagine will bring a ton of stories and its a hearse to boot
When you sell for ex When you sell for export no need for APK,it can only driven here for max 2 weeks, and indeed can be unsafe cars then. But when did the apk expire?
Since Windows 7 refuses to recognise my scanner, I still managed to photograph the documents. A represents the vehicle identification number of which you can later match up with the German document. For those who don't understand Dutch, E represents a clean bill of health. F points to the garage which performed the "inspection" and the name with signature of the inspector: Looks like Hassan Dağlı: Proof of vehicle identification number matching that on the Dutch document: Rust-through locations circled:
Well... This is probably the case; The person/garage who did the inspection in The Netherlands has not done the inspection as it supposed to be but gave the car a green light that it was ok for the APK. He took a risk because the RDW can come to the garage to check if the inspection is done properly,they operate rondom,the so called"steekproef". The carinspection would be rejected by the RDW and the inspector would lose his permission to inspect cars .. Some take quit a risk you know, the buyer is then the victim unfortunatly.
The garage can simply change owners, in case the permission is taken away from them. Those people usually open their businesses up again, under the names of relatives, having the large families which they have. The lady who sold me the car can also get into legal trouble. Here are photos from their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/hkncarservice/photos/?tab=album&album_id=566744893480558
Yep, so it works with the result staying on your driveway now... Not much you can do,the inspection is a so called inspection at the moment, hard to prove/takes time and effort that the defects you've found were there at the moment of inspection in The Netherlands. There is a appeal time but think these is over now.. Good luck with the repairs and after that; Enjoy the ride!!
This is exactly what they had in mind, expecting the vehicle to get inspected no sooner than in June of next year. Having had approximately 1000 kilometers driven from the time it was inspected in Holland to the time sold, it's more difficult to prove that the front struts and rear shock absorbers were defective at the time of inspection in the Netherlands than the rust found after only 3 months of summer weather void of rain and salt. I have alterior plans on how to deal with this. First of all, once I'm finished with the repairs, I'm going to collect Dutch e-mail adresses, in order to randomly expose this fraud to ordinary citizens. If enough concern is paid, I'm hoping to see car owners confronting RDW with demands to have their vehicles re-inspected, through reliable or even independent entities. There are also certain groups who would be interested in using this information for scandalizing the system in its present form. Geert Wilders, for example, could be very helpfull, in bringing such issues to public attention
