EU inspection findings tie to repair risk and resale value. We publish open PKK figures so you can see part of how Sonja prices cars. Volvo V40 scores 5% better in vehicle inspections than other cars of the same age. Many buyers check inspection history before purchasing – and a strong record means your car is worth more than average. Sonja factors this into your price estimate automatically, so you get the right price without having to justify it yourself.

In Akershus (inspection venue): 58.4 % approved, 2.1 % with dangerous defects — based on 2 660 inspections.

Grouped by inspection venue county (not home address or registration municipality).
