– When bringing any vehicle into Manitoba. This includes vehicles owned by individuals moving into Manitoba for residency.
– A vehicle you purchase must have a valid Manitoba Vehicle Safety Inspection Certificate of Inspection to be registered for insurance with Manitoba Public Insurance.
– The onus is on the Purchaser of the vehicle to provide the COI form.
– Most used vehicles for sale will have had the Manitoba Vehicle Safety Inspection completed and COI form provided.
– A vehicle can be sold without the COI form, but usually will command a higher selling price if the Vehicle Safety Inspection and any required repairs have been completed.
– The Manitoba Vehicle Safety Inspection COI form is valid for 1 year from the date the vehicle was deemed to pass the inspections and the COI form was completed.

The Province of Manitoba has revised the Manitoba Vehicle Safety Inspection program as of March 1st 2019 under the Traffic and Transportation Act (TTMA) and will now be Vehicle Equipment, Safety and Inspection regulation.

The cost of Manitoba Vehicle Safety Inspections are paid by the individual requesting to have a light vehicle inspected either selling or purchasing a used vehicle prior to registering with MPIC.

Vehicle Safety Inspections pricing will vary on the time it takes to complete the inspection. Most light vehicles under 4500kg GVWR take between an hour to one & a half hours to complete. Some vehicles may take slightly longer due to condition required to disassemble brakes to properly inspect.
