Who Needs to Get an Arizona State Inspection?

All vehicles used in the Tucson and Phoenix regions are required by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to undergo ADOT emissions testing. This testing takes place at state-run emissions testing centers.

How Often Do You Need a State Inspection?

• Gasoline vehicles under 8,500 pounds model year 1996 or later need emissions testing every other year.
• Gas vehicles model year 1967 to 1995 need emissions testing every year.
• Model year 1967 and newer diesel cars, trucks, and SUVs also require an emission test every year.
• All heavy-duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of over 8,500 pounds need annual emissions testing.

What is Checked in an Arizona State Inspection?

In addition to emissions testing, a full multi-point inspection will check your entire vehicle for safety hazards. Failing or worn brakes and suspension components, extensive frame damage, glass damage, and other issues are checked. These checks make sure that your vehicle is safe to drive and will pass inspection with ease.
