Inspection and used car certification are two separate things. Not every car dealer is an inspection station. The dealer is resposible for used car cert. There are more things on used car cert than inspection. It is more strict than inspection. for example BJ’s are not part of inspection, but they are part of used car cert. NYS inspection requires 1 front wheel to be removed. Used cart certification requires all 4. etc… etc… sounds like you need to read your regulation book. 90% of dealers get hung on this when they sell a piece of crap. Inspection is a whole separate issue.
