We call it getting it “smogged” in Los Angeles as the concern is cutting emissions to reduce smog; though many of the requirements are naturally related to road worthiness too.
I own a skoolie (used school bus converted to a motorhome) and it’s hilarious how much of the community likes to rant about Cali’s strict emissions policies being the result of liberal woke culture. No, you dumbfucks, it’s because they’re sandwiched between prevailing westerly winds and a fucking mountain range. You either restrict vehicle emissions or you live in a cloud of smog.
Here in PA, the roadworthiness inspection is separate from the emissions inspection (although both are usually done at the same time).
Here in my state, there’s no inspections. You can drive your car with the frame cracked in half. As long as the plate has up-to-date stickers, you’re good fam.

Fun fact, California doesn’t mandate safety or roadworthiness inspections for personal vehicles at all - only emissions.
This was a bit of a surprise to me when I moved here, given CAs reputation.
I guess vehicles don’t have to be all that safe when they’re just sitting in traffic.
Bunch of states have the same as MOT, called “inspection”.
Yep of course! I’m just not familiar with other states’ terminology.
