What is the time frame in which a vehicle must be re-inspected after failing?

A vehicle that has failed inspection must be re-inspected within 30 days of the rejection. This time frame is established to ensure that the vehicle's safety and emissions-related issues are addressed in a timely manner, promoting road safety and environmental compliance. By requiring re-inspection within 30 days, the system encourages vehicle owners to promptly repair any identified deficiencies, thereby reducing the likelihood of continued unsafe conditions on the road.

If a vehicle is not re-inspected within this period, the owner may face additional penalties or may have to undergo a new inspection entirely, which can be more costly and time-consuming. Timely re-inspection supports the overall goal of maintaining a fleet of vehicles that meet safety and environmental standards.
