The Department of Transportation and the Land Transportation Office (DOTr-LTO) has been fast-tracking the compliance inspections to push forward the activation and operationalization of the different Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers (PMVICs) in various regions to help the transacting public comply with LTO regulations.

These PMVICs are scattered all over the country to carry out automated inspections and determine the vehicle’s roadworthiness. In this article, we listed all the operational PMVICs, along with some others that are already set to operate very soon.

What are PMVICs?

PMVICs stands for Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers. These are privately-owned automated vehicle inspection facilities designed to check not only the vehicle’s compliance with emission standards, but also its roadworthiness, prior to motor vehicle registration with the LTO.

These automated vehicle inspections are designed not only to check the vehicle’s roadworthiness, but to also ensure that the inspection is fast, efficient, and accurate. Plus, according to the LTO chief Jay Art Tugade, the automated inspection will use machines and minimize human intervention, effectively reducing opportunities for corruption.

From the LTO’s side, the connectivity of the LTO IT system and the inspection centers are being tested continuously to identify issues, and iron out glitches, ensuring smooth and efficient transmission of results.

Summary

By allowing the operations of LTO-accredited Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers (PMVICs) in the country and fast tracking the preparation of the LTO’s IT system to be able to accommodate and process the results from the PMVICs, the agency underscores the benefits of an automated inspection system to determine the vehicle’s roadworthiness. The belief lies in the fact that the Motor Vehicle Inspection System Report (MVIR) will have less human intervention as well as less opportunities for corruption, making it easier to clean up the agency and its systems while improving their public service delivery. Though PMVIC inspections are no longer mandatory in some cases, it remains an important requirement for specific LTO transactions so it still definitely pays to know where to find an operational one. After all, the agency continually weeds out illegally operating PMVICs nationwide.
