If vehicle parts cannot be sourced after reasonable efforts, what effect does this have on the inspection?

In the context of vehicle inspections, if certain parts cannot be sourced after reasonable efforts, the most applicable outcome is that only the affected parts are subject to failure. This means that if a specific component is unavailable, it does not necessarily lead to a failure of the entire vehicle inspection. Instead, the inspector will note the failure for the specific parts that cannot be replaced or repaired due to the lack of availability. The vehicle can still pass the inspection if all other necessary components are functioning properly and meet the safety and regulatory standards.

This approach acknowledges the challenges related to sourcing certain parts, especially older or rare vehicle components, and allows for flexibility within the inspection process. It ensures that the vehicle remains operable as long as it is safe and compliant with regulations, despite potential difficulties in acquiring replacement parts for specific systems.
