NJ, MV inspection doesn't care about leaks, it's emissions compliance only.

Exception for fuel leaks? If oil drips or radiator leaks mattered,
none of my cars in the 60's would have passed.

I don't see how any state inspection would spot a leaking heater core,
unless it's pouring out. In warm weather, the coolant flow is off,
there would be no leaking. The state was MA, why don't you google for
what they check at inspection?


MA does not care if your heater core leaks or if you **** on the seat.

Florida doesn't inspect cars at all unless you live in one of the
polluted blue cities. Then they scan for emission codes.

Pretty obvious when you drive there. Some of the worst clunkers I've
seen on the road ANYWHERE - and I've driven in a lot of "third world"
areas.


So what? They were still passing you.


e have limited inspection in CT. The accident rate is no worse than
states that do inspections.

Responsible people get their car repaired. Irresponsible people find
ways around the inspection.
