For new non-motor carrier vehicles, after how many years of the first inspection is the next due?

For new non-motor carrier vehicles, the first inspection is typically required within the first year after the vehicle is registered. Following that initial inspection, subsequent inspections are generally scheduled every two years. This timeline is designed to ensure that vehicles remain compliant with safety standards without imposing excessively frequent inspections on newer vehicles that are less likely to have significant safety issues.

Longer intervals between inspections for new vehicles allow manufacturers and owners to address potential concerns while also recognizing that newer vehicles generally have more reliable safety features and components. In contrast, older vehicles often require more frequent inspections to ensure they continue to meet safety standards as they age. Thus, the correct response is that the next inspection for new non-motor carrier vehicles is due after two years.
