Virginia state inspection stations in Lorton, VA, conduct vehicle inspections for motorists throughout the Northern Virginia area. The standard Virginia state inspection consists of testing the following safety and mechanical operations:
- Windshield, window glass, windshield wipers, front and rear defroster
- Hood latch, engine belts, and fluids
- Tires, wheels, and rims
- Steering and suspension systems; floor pan
- Brakes and parking brake
- Fuel and exhaust systems; air pollution controls
- Headlights and exterior lights, plus turn signal lights and the license plate identification light
- Horn, rear and side-view mirrors
- Driver’s seat; airbags, seat belts, doors
Many items you can test ahead of time yourself with little experience. Plus, it is smart to be familiar with your vehicle, it’s systems, and functions, especially if you drive an older vehicle with a “personality.”
