Vlaamse automobilisten profiteren nu al van minder verplichte voertuigkeuringen, maar de regering wacht mogelijk tot eind 2029 of zelfs nog langer om de gevolgen voor de verkeersveiligheid formeel te beoordelen.<\/p>\n

Het kabinet van minister van Mobiliteit Annick De Ridder heeft aan Newmobility.news bevestigd dat de eerste uitgebreide evaluatie zal plaatsvinden nadat de volledige hervorming is afgerond, met inbegrip van de maatregelen die tot 2028 geleidelijk worden ingevoerd.<\/p>\n

Voor automobilisten liggen de voordelen voor de hand: minder bezoeken aan keuringscentra, minder papierwerk en lagere keuringskosten. Maar critici vrezen dat ernstige mechanische gebreken langer onopgemerkt zouden kunnen blijven.<\/p>\n

Wat verandert er voor automobilisten?<\/h4>\n

Sinds september 2026 moeten personenauto's in Vlaanderen in de regel om de twee jaar een technische keuring ondergaan, zelfs als ze ouder zijn dan tien jaar of meer dan 160.000 kilometer hebben afgelegd.<\/p>\n

Dat betekent minder afspraken en, voor een auto die voorheen jaarlijks werd gekeurd, op termijn ongeveer de helft van de keuringskosten. Bestaande certificaten worden echter niet automatisch verlengd: het nieuwe keuringsinterval geldt pas wanneer het voertuig bij de volgende keuring aan de voorwaarden voldoet.<\/p>\n

Vanaf 1 januari 2027 volgt er nog een belangrijke wijziging. Wie binnen Belgi\u00eb een tweedehandsauto verkoopt, hoeft volgens de Vlaamse regelgeving niet langer een afzonderlijke verplichte technische keuring te laten uitvoeren. Kopers kunnen v\u00f3\u00f3r de aankoop nog steeds om een vrijwillige keuring vragen, maar zullen beter op de staat van het voertuig moeten letten.<\/p>\n

De laatste fase van de hervorming heeft betrekking op bestelwagens en lichte bedrijfsvoertuigen; vanaf september 2028 zullen oudere voertuigen worden onderworpen aan tweejaarlijkse keuringen.<\/p>\n

Veiligheidsbeoordeling pas na volledige invoering<\/h4>\n

In een schriftelijk antwoord op een parlementaire vraag verklaarde De Ridder dat de eerste evaluatie bij voorkeur zou moeten plaatsvinden nadat de hervorming in haar geheel ten minste \u00e9\u00e9n volledig jaar van kracht is geweest.<\/p>\n

Toen Newmobility.news haar vroeg of dat ook de langetermijnmaatregelen omvat, bevestigde haar woordvoerder Xavier Lesenne: \u201cDe volledige hervorming is de hervorming zoals uiteengezet in de goedgekeurde conceptnota. Dus ja, ook pas op de lange termijn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ervan uitgaande dat de definitieve maatregelen in september 2028 van kracht worden, valt een uitgebreide evaluatie dan ook niet eerder te verwachten dan in het najaar van 2029. Er is nog geen definitieve datum bekendgemaakt.<\/p>\n

De regering stelt dat de wijzigingen Vlaanderen dichter bij de Europese eisen brengen en onnodige keuringen overbodig maken. Veiligheidsindicatoren, waaronder afgekeurde voertuigen en gevaarlijke gebreken, zullen ondertussen blijven worden gemonitord.<\/p>\n

Critici vragen zich echter af of toezicht alleen wel voldoende is, nu voertuigen minder vaak worden gecontroleerd.<\/p>\n

Petitie wordt nu gevolgd door een rechtszaak<\/h4>\n

Het debat bereikte op 28 oktober een nieuwe mijlpaal, toen het Vlaams Parlement de behandeling afrondde van verzoekschriften waarin bezwaar werd gemaakt tegen de hervorming, waaronder een verzoekschrift met 15.752 handtekeningen.<\/p>\n

De actievoerders Bart Rassaerts en Nicolas Godin hebben aangedrongen op een onafhankelijke veiligheidsbeoordeling voordat de inspectie-eisen verder worden versoepeld.<\/p>\n

Hun bezorgdheid is deels gebaseerd op offici\u00eble cijfers van de GOCA, waaruit blijkt dat in 2025 in Vlaanderen meer dan 93.000 tweedehandsvoertuigen niet door de keuring kwamen vanwege ernstige of gevaarlijke gebreken.<\/p>\n

Het geschil is ook voor de rechter gekomen. Rassaerts, een voormalig voertuigkeurmeester die momenteel werkzaam is als veiligheidsadviseur bij keuringsinstantie AIBV, zegt dat hij op 18 oktober een beroep tot nietigverklaring heeft ingesteld bij de Belgische Raad van State.<\/p>\n

Hij treedt op in eigen naam en niet namens de indieners van het verzoekschrift of zijn werkgever, en vecht de langere keuringsintervallen aan op grond van verkeersveiligheid en emissies. Het beroep schort de hervorming niet op en er is nog geen uitspraak gedaan.<\/p>\n

Minder controles, meer verantwoordelijkheid<\/h4>\n

Voor de gemiddelde autobezitter betekent de hervorming meer gemak, maar ook meer verantwoordelijkheid. Remmen, banden, de ophanging en emissiebeheersingssystemen kunnen tussen twee keuringen door verslijten, ongeacht de geldigheidsduur van het keuringsbewijs.<\/p>\n

Een inspectie-interval van twee jaar is geen vervanging voor regelmatig onderhoud, terwijl kopers van tweedehandsauto\u2019s wellicht steeds vaker zelf onafhankelijke controles zullen moeten laten uitvoeren.<\/p>\n

De vraag die nog onbeantwoord blijft, is wanneer de overheid zou ingrijpen als de verkeersveiligheid verslechtert. Hoewel De Ridder heeft beloofd de hervorming te heroverwegen als er aanzienlijke negatieve gevolgen aan het licht komen, is er geen specifieke drempel vastgesteld.<\/p>\n

Vlaanderen heeft duidelijke termijnen vastgesteld voor het terugdringen van de verplichte keuringen. Om de algemene gevolgen daarvan voor de veiligheid te kunnen beoordelen, zullen automobilisten wellicht aanzienlijk langer moeten wachten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
