   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   Extends mandatory periodic testing to motorcycles above 125 cm³ and wheeled tractors, while removing L-category vehicles from scope. Introduces mandatory roadside inspection targets for light commercial vehicles, with phased percentages and derogations for remote sensing coverage. Makes remote sensing screening mandatory for Member States, with indicative results and follow-up procedures, while allowing flexibility in implementation. Adds requirements for odometer recording by service providers, access to odometer history for buyers, and Commission reviews of data effectiveness. Other changes are formal or wording: updated references, renumbering, and minor textual adjustments.
