FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

Personal passenger vehicles that pass inspection require re-inspection every two years in New Brunswick. A dealer-sold new vehicle with an unladen curb mass of 3,000 kilograms or less has an initial inspection valid for three years.
Ask the inspection shop to explain each recorded defect and distinguish safety items from recommended repairs. Get the required work and any re-inspection steps in writing before authorizing repairs; the result alone does not specify what your vehicle needs next.
