What type of inspection report must be kept by the inspection station for a period of time?

The Vehicle Inspection Reports (VIRs) must be kept by the inspection station for a specified period due to regulatory requirements. These reports are crucial for maintaining accurate records of inspections conducted, including details about the vehicle’s condition and whether it passed or failed the inspection. Keeping VIRs helps ensure accountability and allows for proper tracking of inspection history, which is essential in cases of disputes, compliance with safety regulations, and aiding in the verification process of vehicle operation standards. Regulatory bodies require these records to facilitate inspections and audits, making it essential for inspection stations to retain them for the mandated duration.
