What North Carolina checks on a used car
North Carolina requires an annual safety inspection for every car. Emissions testing has applied in some counties, and the state is in the process of ending it outside Mecklenburg County.
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.
