Does My Volkswagen Car or SUV Need an Inspection?

Arizona's Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) mandates that every vehicle routinely used in the Phoenix or Tucson area receive and pass Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) emissions testing. This is true regardless of where the vehicle is garaged, owned, or registered.

How Often Does My Volkswagen Car or SUV Need an Inspection?

ADOT requires emissions testing every year or every other year, depending on the type and age of your car or SUV:

• Gasoline-powered passenger vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 8,500 pounds or less model year 1996 and newer require ADOT emissions testing every two years.
• Gasoline-powered passenger vehicles that are model year 1967 to 1995 must be tested every year.
• Diesel vehicles model year 1967 or newer need emissions testing every year. Commercial and heavy-duty vehicles rated at over 8,500 pounds GVWR also need yearly inspections.

What Do Arizona State Vehicle Inspections Include?

Arizona state vehicle inspections cover your Volkswagen vehicle's emissions output and condition. The state requires that these complex tests take place at designated locations. But, our team can still help prep your Volkswagen car or SUV to ensure that it will pass.
