Salt-laden air is the defining local hazard, and it does more damage here than in most coastal Indian cities because of the salt pans as well as the sea. Corrosion starts underneath and works up: put the car on a ramp if you possibly can and look at the subframe, brake lines, fuel lines and suspension mounting points, not just the visible panels. A car that has spent five years near the harbour and looks clean on top can still be structurally compromised below.
Vehicles registered in Thoothukudi carry the TN-69 series, issued by the Tamil Nadu Transport Department. The registration number tells you where a car was first registered, which matters when you check its tax status and whether it needs an NOC to transfer.
