Which item is NOT required to be included in the inspection reports?

The item that is not required to be included in the inspection reports is the vehicle color. In Maryland, inspection reports are mandated to include specific key pieces of information that are essential for identifying the vehicle and documenting the inspection process. These include the odometer reading, which helps verify the mileage of the vehicle at the time of inspection, the public VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), which uniquely identifies the vehicle, and the inspection station number, which denotes where the inspection was performed.

The inclusion of the vehicle color is not necessary for the inspection report, as it does not impact the safety evaluation or compliance of the vehicle. The focus of these reports is mainly on mechanical systems and safety features rather than aesthetic details like color, which is why vehicle color is excluded from the required information.
