What must be checked during a vehicle inspection?

During a vehicle inspection, all vehicle systems and safety equipment must be checked to ensure that the vehicle is safe for operation and compliant with state regulations. This comprehensive approach is essential because it ensures that critical components, such as the brakes, lights, tires, windshield wipers, exhaust systems, and other safety features, are functioning properly. Inspecting only a subset of the vehicle, such as just the tires or the engine, would not provide a complete assessment of the vehicle's condition and could overlook significant safety issues that might compromise the vehicle's performance or safety on the road. Therefore, a thorough inspection of all systems is necessary to promote safe driving and maintain vehicle integrity.
