The province of Ontario requires, by law, that all used vehicles sold in Ontario are subject to a Safety Standard Inspection and issuance of the Ontario Safety Standard Certificate (SSC) prior to being registered as “fit” or plated for use on public roadways.
A Mechanic certified by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation is the only person legally permitted and trained to perform a vehicle safety check. Check for the mechanics wall plaque with licensing certificate to ensure the safety of your vehicle.
Some of the standards rely on the mechanical experience and sound judgment of the inspection mechanic, based on the inspection standards as set down in the Highway Traffic Act.
