Can personal/private vehicles be inspected at a fleet inspection station?

The correct answer is that personal or private vehicles cannot be inspected at a fleet inspection station unless they are registered or leased by the fleet inspection station owner. Fleet inspection stations are primarily designated for the regular inspection of vehicles that are part of a fleet, which typically comprises multiple vehicles owned or operated by a single entity. This regulation helps ensure that inspections remain focused on vehicles that are officially part of a business or organization’s fleet and helps streamline the inspection process for those vehicles.

By restricting inspections to only those vehicles registered or leased by the station owner, the system minimizes the potential for abuse of fleet inspection privileges and maintains the integrity of the inspection process. Therefore, personal vehicles unrelated to the fleet cannot typically receive inspections at these specific facilities.
