Is this for inspection or what? Certified to do what exactly?

Well. Steering. Lights. Braking. Seatbelt. Tires. Locks. Structural stability. The basics.

When i took mine to get inspected all they did was make sure the horn, lights, and brakes worked.

Idk about the UK but in the states if your cars older the 96 you dont have to worry about passing emissions tests.

fog lights too? lol i got one burnt out .. hehe
well i bought new tires today(nice new pair of 4 for $240), wiper blade (the other one is rusted but fine) Engine oil changed...
i know they dont check the engine, but i got a leaking gasket that leaks coolant which also needs to fixed. Im going to college next year .... holy cow i got myself into a mess... money wise.
But hey i got the car dirt cheap

so you need to pass their whole flippin inspection to pass? or is there a certain amount of minor failures you can pass by through?
