What is a common consequence of failing a vehicle inspection?

Failing a vehicle inspection typically results in the requirement for the vehicle to undergo re-inspection. This process is a necessary step to ensure that any issues identified during the initial inspection are addressed before the vehicle can be deemed roadworthy. The re-inspection serves to confirm that the necessary repairs or modifications have been made and that the vehicle now meets the safety and emissions standards set by the state. This ensures that vehicles on the road are safe for both the driver and other road users, as well as compliant with environmental regulations.

The other responses do not accurately reflect standard practices following a failed inspection. For example, immediate registration renewal is not possible without passing inspection, while permanent decommissioning of a vehicle is a more extreme action that is not typically taken solely due to a failed inspection. Immediate sale of the vehicle does not directly correlate to the inspection process, as the vehicle can still be sold even if it has failed inspection, although the buyer should be informed of the failure.
