Virginia State Inspection Practice Test

If a rejected vehicle is to be reinspected at a different station, what must be performed?

1. A complete inspection of the vehicle

2. An inspection of items only previously found defective

3. A partial inspection of the exterior only

4. An evaluation of the vehicle's registration

The correct answer is: A complete inspection of the vehicle

When a rejected vehicle is brought to a different inspection station for reinspection, a complete inspection of the vehicle must be performed. This requirement ensures that all safety and regulatory standards are thoroughly assessed and that any additional issues that may not have been identified during the previous inspection are also addressed. By requiring a complete inspection, the goal is to maintain high safety standards on the road and ensure that the vehicle meets all necessary compliance checks. Ensuring comprehensive scrutiny helps in minimizing the chances of unsafe vehicles being allowed on public roads. This approach also indicates that there might be new changes or improvements made to the vehicle since it was last inspected, hence warranting a full re-evaluation rather than just focusing on previously identified defects.
