Why You Need an Inspection
An inspection does two things. First, it ensures that your vehicle is running safely.
Just about every part and system will be examined to spot any potential safety hazards. If your car fails inspection, it's often because it's dangerous to you, your passengers, or other people who end up sharing the road with you.
You also need an emissions inspection. This shows the state that your car is not producing any more pollution than it should be. Any gas-powered car is going to have some emissions, but an inspection can spot any issues that would excessively pollute the air.
Failing an Inspection
Because so many Ford parts are being closely examined during an inspection, there are many ways to fail one. There are a variety of safety issues that can cause a failure, including:
- A large crack on the windshield
- Broken or missing mirrors
- An issue with the exhaust system
- Worn out brakes
- Damaged or worn tires
In some cases, the cause for failure could be something as simple as bad windshield wiper blades. If your Ford truck or SUV fails inspection, there's no way around it. You have to fix any issues and get inspected again.
Our mechanics can help you out whether you've failed an inspection, or you just realized that you're due for your annual visit. Stop by our Ford service center in Elizabeth City, NC today.
