MD, inspect is all accomplished at private repair facilities, about $80 and takes them an hour and a half or so to do.. Don't remember exactly the complete list, but it's probably close to 100 line items on the sheet. They write down a bunch of the measurements. They mic the rotors, measure drums, pads and linings. They go over it pretty closely. My steering box little wet=fail, oil cooler line little wet=fail. The column bearing in the tilt set up had less then 1/4 inch play=fail. Steering pump wet=fail. Very small nick on sidewall=fail. Pcv hose loose fail. Pinhole in intermediate exhaust pipe fail. Plus all the normal safety stuff, lights, wipers, windows working, horn. They failed me because the drivers window did not operate smoothly and was slow.(tired motor). And I'm sure they check the wheels bearings and steering linkage, ball joints. oh, also rusty brake lines, swollen or dry rotted rubber brake lines.
