If you got inspected, and if they checked it, yes they would make you fix it. I've only taken one vehicle through the process and it was pretty basic. They checked the Vin # on the post and the vin stamped under the hood. Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day.
That's not to say on a slow day they might not check more, but it was a simple process that I observed. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The reason I needed inspected was the car had been part of a bankruptcy proceeding and didn't have a proper title. When I brought a car in from out of state, twice now, there was no inspection at all. Since the titles were in order they simply transferred them to a WA state title in the office with no other problems.

I'm gonna ask, since I might be moving out there soon...would my non-working parking brake cause my car to fail inspection in WA? I'm not sure yet whether I'll bring it or sell it before I go, but if I decide to bring it that would be a concern.
