On the other side, Germany has TÜV with a mandatory vehicle inspection every 2 years with some exceptions for new cars.
They check vital components for road safety and won't allow the car to be on public roads when it's not fixed within a month. And it's not like your tires have no rest profile anymore, it's like you have to change them when they're at 1,6mm... recommended is to change at 4mms...
Some "Prüfer" are chill but sometimes you won't pass because your winter tires you were drivimg for 5 years, are 0,3% bigger than the allowed ones in the registrationpapers... at least I heard.
we have this every year in slovenia. you have to pass a technical inspection then register your car
my mom's car failed bexause her handbrake was 11% less efficient than new (limit being 10%). she had to get it replaced and then the car passed perfectly with 0 issues stated
i'd rather do this shit than have some jerk driving around with a car thats about to fall apart and maybe not have a working brake
