Does the inspector check items other than failed ones during a re-inspection?

During a re-inspection, the primary focus is typically on the items that previously failed the inspection. The purpose of this specific process is to ensure that the repairs or corrections have been made to these failed components, thus allowing the vehicle to meet safety and emissions standards. Inspectors may not routinely check all other items, as the re-inspection's necessity arises directly from prior failures. Although other items may conditionally be checked if there are visible concerns, the standard protocol is to limit the inspection to address the exact failures initially identified. This approach upholds efficiency and concentrates resources on ensuring compliance with regulations.
