Yearly Inspection and Emissions testing for vehicles?


Katy1966

Recommended Posts

Where I live all vehicles (except for those purchased in that year new) need yearly inspections and emissions testing. It's a pain. I know there are people who go to shops that let them pass even though they have issues with the car like bad brakes or too dark of tint on the windows. There has to be that happening because these cars are on the road all the time! 

Does your area require that testing? How much to do you pay for it?

I believe the concept is solid and should be done, but the real world implementation has been terrible.  Our area used to require both, but we dropped emissions as they found out that no one was testing it correctly.  The overall inspection is shady at best and simply a corrupt system at worst in this area.  Thankfully it is only around $50 to get a yearly inspection here, but it completely depends on where you go if an actual inspection preformed.

New cars are not to be inspected for the first 4 years. That is if they don't change owners. After 4 years they get another 2 years until inspection. Anything after that will go through inspection yearly. Inspection on brakes, tyres, body, suspension, lights, etc. The usual things. Very strictly looked after. Emissions are a joke. Many car factories release a car with emission specifications that are hardly true.
