A MD dealer can not perform a VA inspection as they can not be licensed. It is the buyers responsibility.

BTW, if you want to know how long a car has been on the dealer lot, look at the month of the inspection. The inspection is typically the first thing they do.

They’ll often waive the ticket if you show you got the inspection.

We have a winner. Bought it in Maryland. Thanks for the clarification.


Hey, it happened to me, too (Subaru bought in Maryland but I live in Virginia -- is it my fault the dealers in my state are terrible?)


OP here. I think it’s a conspiracy.

I just got a $50.00 ticket on my parked 2019 Subaru Ascent. I didn’t even know a safety inspection was required for a new vehicle- is this right?
