Code of Virginia - Title 46.2 Motor Vehicles - Section 46.2-1158 Frequency of inspection; scope of inspection

§ 46.2-1158. Frequency of inspection; scope of inspection

Motor vehicles, trailers, and semitrailers required to be inspected pursuant to the provisions of § 46.2-1157 shall be reinspected within twelve months of the month of the first inspection and at least once every twelve months thereafter.

Each inspection shall be a complete inspection. A reinspection of a rejected vehicle by the same station during the period of validity of the rejection sticker on such vehicle, however, need only include an inspection of the item or items previously found defective unless there is found an obvious defect that would warrant further rejection of the vehicle.

A rejection sticker shall be valid for fifteen calendar days beyond the day of issuance. A complete inspection shall be performed on any vehicle bearing an expired rejection sticker.
