Requires a motor vehicle inspection each time a used motor vehicle is sold, regardless of the age or mileage of the vehicle

HB 1499 requires that every used motor vehicle sold in Missouri undergo a safety inspection before the transaction is completed, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage. This rule applies to both private sellers and dealers, with the seller responsible for paying for the inspection and providing the buyer with a valid certificate of inspection at the point of sale. The bill includes specific exceptions for vehicles under 40,000 miles within three years of manufacture, as well as those sold for junk, salvage, or rebuilding purposes. Violations of this new requirement are classified as infractions, and the inspection must be performed no more than sixty days prior to the date of purchase.
