Stop letting the next vehicle inspection sneak up on you.

Inspections can typically be booked from a month before expiry, but quotes from dealerships, independent garages, and inspection chains take real time to compare. Wait until the last few weeks and your options narrow, and you pay the convenience tax for it.

Kigen extracts the expiry date from a photo of the vehicle registration document and sends two quiet nudges: at 90 days and at 30 days. Both moments are when you should actually be doing something.

Vehicle paperwork normally lives in the glove compartment, which makes manually typing the expiry date into an app a high-friction task. Kigen pulls the date directly from a photo of the registration document, along with vehicle identification details, so the only thing you do is point the camera.

• Inspection expiry extracted automatically
• Vehicle plate and first-registration date saved as metadata
• On-device OCR keeps registration data off any server

Inspection costs vary significantly between dealerships, independent garages, inspection chains, and gas-station services. Soliciting three or four quotes and weighing what's included takes about three weeks. Start three months out and you also leave room for follow-up estimates if a needed repair turns up.

Mandatory insurance and vehicle tax obligations tend to cluster around the inspection window. Kigen lets you group related documents under one vehicle, so when the inspection day arrives you can pull up the insurance certificate and tax-payment proof at the same time. No more day-of trips back home for missing paperwork.

When a household owns two or more vehicles, the inspections drift on their own schedules and quietly stack up in awkward months. Putting every vehicle on a shared shelf lets you spot the months when two inspections collide and budget time and money around them.
