According to data published in the Persian-language newspaper Shahrvand, in the past fiscal that ended in March 2018, almost 1.5 million cars were tested at the auto inspection centers in Tehran and only 55% were able to pass emission tests during the first visit.
As per rules, car owners must fix the technical and other problems of their vehicles and come back to the center for a second or third test.
