Failed vehicle inspection in New Mexico
Use the report's exact failure code before choosing a repair or waiver path.

Separate safety, emissions, VIN, document, and readiness failures. They do not share one remedy.
- 02
Check repair and waiver rules
Every vehicle arriving from another state needs a VIN inspection. Not every MVD office performs it, and some require an appointment; Bernalillo County vehicles may also need an emissions certificate.
