What to Expect During Your NH State Inspection
A New Hampshire state inspection is an annual check to ensure your vehicle is safe to operate on public roads. At Merchants Auto, our team conducts a thorough review of your vehicle's critical systems, including:
- Safety Components: We check the steering, front end, suspension, brakes, and tires for wear and proper function.
- Lights and Accessories: All exterior lights, reflectors, wipers, horns and mirrors are tested for operational safety.
- Body and Chassis: Our technicians verify the soundness of the vehicle body (checking for rust spots) and inspect the exhaust and fuel systems.
- Documentation: We verify your registration, plates and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to ensure they are all valid.
Note on 2026 Regulations: While New Hampshire is transitioning away from mandatory annual safety inspections for most passenger vehicles, it's still a good idea to keep up with regular safety inspections. Plus, commercial vehicles remain subject to annual federal inspection requirements.
