Is Road Salt Quietly Eating Your Vehicle From the Bottom Up? 🧂🚗

🚗 Top 5 Reasons Cars Fail MA Inspection — And What They Mean

Massachusetts inspections are thorough, so knowing what causes most failures can help you avoid the headache. Here are the top 5 issues we see and why they matter:

1️⃣ Brake Problems — Worn pads, bad rotors, or parking brake issues reduce your stopping power and are an immediate safety concern.
2️⃣ Worn or Uneven Tires — Low tread or uneven wear affects traction, especially in New England weather, making your vehicle unsafe on the road.
3️⃣ Lighting Issues — Burned-out headlights, brake lights, or turn signals make it harder for you to see—and harder for others to see you.
4️⃣ Windshield Cracks or Worn Wipers — Anything that blocks your view—or prevents you from keeping the glass clear—can cause an automatic failure.
5️⃣ Engine or Fluid Leaks — Leaks from your engine, transmission, or power steering can lead to major damage and unsafe driving conditions.

Want to understand these issues in more detail and learn how to avoid a rejection sticker?
