Can a Roof Rack Pass the Annual Vehicle Inspection?
1 Answers
Adding a roof rack will not pass the annual vehicle inspection because the inspection includes an exterior check to verify the condition of the vehicle's lights, whether the body appearance matches the original specifications, any modifications to the suspension, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. If any aftermarket additions like a roof rack are installed, they must be removed and the vehicle restored to its original condition before the inspection to pass. The annual vehicle inspection refers to the yearly examination of vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted according to the safety technical requirements for motor vehicle operation. Its purpose is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage proper maintenance, ensure the vehicle remains in good condition, and guarantee driving safety.
