The state auto inspection program is a colossal joke. In January 1976 I bought a used car here in Indiana, and I watched it go through the inspection process. It "passed" the inspection with a broken shock absorber and a hole in the muffler...and the mechanic who inspected the car was talking to an Indiana State Trooper who was standing there the entire time the "inspection" took place.
It was simply a program to generate revenue for the state...taking unsafe cars off the road simply never happened, but it was used to sell a lot of parts and labor at sevice stations [which no longer exist these days]. And parts break and fail at any time. If your turn signal switch fails right after the inspection, you've got 12 whole months to drive the car before you have to get it inspected again.
Again, just a revenue producer for the state, and a way to generate work for repair shops. But they don't produce safer vehicles, no matter what anyone says.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
