Questions
How much is SOAT 2026 for a motorcycle?
With the Ley 2161 discount already included: under 100 cc COP 256,200; 100–200 cc COP 343,300. Motorcycles over 200 cc have no discount: COP 761,400 (official 2026 consumer rate).
When is a new car’s first inspection due?
New private vehicles (non-motorcycles) do their first inspection in the 5th year from registration (art. 179, Ley 2294 of 2023); motorcycles at 2 years. Annual afterwards.
What is the 2026 fine for expired SOAT or inspection?
Driving without valid SOAT (code D02): COP 1,266,100 + immobilization. Expired inspection (code C35): COP 633,200 + immobilization. 50% discounts apply if paid within 5 business days with the course.
Why does the inspection cost differ between centers?
The law sets a per-class range (in UVB) and each certified center picks its price within it; VAT, RUNT, ANSV and SICOV fees are added on top. That is why we show a total band, not one price.
