Can a car pass the annual inspection with an added roof rack?
1 Answers
Adding a roof rack to a car will not pass the annual inspection, as installing a roof rack on your own alters the vehicle's appearance, making it ineligible for approval. Here is additional information: 1. Motor vehicle annual inspections include an appearance check: Inspectors examine whether the vehicle's lights are damaged, if the body appearance matches the original, if the suspension has been modified, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. Additional installations such as roof racks, body kits, spoilers, modified exhaust pipes, or larger tires that affect the vehicle's appearance will not pass the inspection. 2. Vehicle annual inspection: This is a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation.
