How long after a rejection can a vehicle be reinspected without incurring additional fees?

The correct answer is that a vehicle can be reinspected without incurring additional fees within a specific time frame after a rejection. In the context of Missouri motor vehicle inspections, this grace period is set at 20 days. During this time, vehicle owners can address the issues that led to the initial rejection and return for a reinspection without having to pay another inspection fee.

This regulation is in place to ensure that vehicle owners have a reasonable opportunity to make necessary repairs and comply with safety and emissions standards without being penalized financially for the reinspection process. If the reinspection is not conducted within this 20-day window, the vehicle owner may be required to pay the standard fee for another inspection.
