What is evaluated in the body of the vehicle during inspection?

During the inspection of a vehicle, the condition of the body is evaluated primarily to ensure safety and structural integrity. Identifying whether the vehicle is free from major rust or structural damage is crucial. Rust can significantly weaken a vehicle's structure, leading to safety concerns while driving, and structural damage can compromise the vehicle's performance and safety features.

The inspection process is aimed at ensuring that vehicles on the road are safe for drivers and passengers; hence, major deficiencies that can affect the vehicle’s functionality and safety must be addressed. The evaluation does not focus on aesthetic elements such as having a new paint job or the body color, nor does it concern itself only with exterior features, as structural integrity is far more critical for safe operation.
