What is the minimum requirement for re-inspection after a vehicle fails initially?

The minimum requirement for re-inspection after a vehicle fails initially is that only the defective equipment needs to be re-inspected within a designated mileage. This means that if a vehicle fails the initial safety inspection due to specific issues, the inspector will only need to check the components that were found to be defective instead of re-evaluating the entire vehicle. This approach streamlines the re-inspection process, focusing solely on elements that did not meet safety standards, thereby saving time for both the vehicle owner and the inspector.

Additionally, it aligns with the goal of ensuring vehicles are safe for operation while providing a practical method for re-inspection that acknowledges that not all components may be problematic. Re-inspecting only the defective areas makes the process more efficient and economical, preventing unnecessary delays in getting the vehicle back on the road as soon as the issues are resolved.
