Inspection Advisory

Minor equipment defects found during an inspection are noted in an Inspection Advisory. Upon completing inspection, you will receive a report from an inspector listing any advisory conditions that must be repaired within 60 days. The vehicle will not receive a rejection sticker. After repairs are made, you do not have to return for re-inspection. At any time a vehicle may be cited for equipment out of compliance.

Inspection Advisory conditions include:

  • Missing or defaced license plates (at least one undamaged license plate must be presented)
  • Current registration containing typographical errors in the vehicle identification number (provided the make, model year and license plate number on the registration is accurate)
  • Missing or burned-out license plate lights
  • High-mounted rear stop light that is missing, obstructed, inoperative or does not operate properly (two stop lights must be operable)
  • Headlights that are cracked, chipped or contain moisture or that are equipped with brush guards or grills over the headlights (as long as they are operational and visible)
  • Broken, cracked or missing lens on turn signal light (provided that no white light is showing to the rear of the vehicle)
  • Improper specialty lights (regardless of number, location and condition) including fog, passing, supplemental driving, spotlight, cowl, fender or any other auxiliary lights
  • Excessive rust or sharp edges on the vehicle body or bumper
  • Cracked or broken mirrors (as long as the motorist has adequate rearview vision)
  • Motorcycle helmets that do not have reflective tape or helmets that are not reflective
