What Maryland checks on a used car
Maryland requires a safety inspection at a licensed station before a used car can be titled in a new owner’s name, and emissions testing applies in Baltimore and many central Maryland counties.
A pre-purchase inspection is not a state inspection. It is an independent look at the whole car for you, the buyer, before you pay.
