Reply to comment by 1diligentmfer in Why do I need to inspect my car and need 2 license plates? Why can’t MA be like the other 30+ states by AxemanFromMA

Mass state inspection doesn't check your brakes. They check if your e-brake will hold up to 1600rpms. So goodluck with the lawsuit

I think they do. On the Inspection Report there are "service brakes" and "parking brake"

The service brake check they do: Verifying there is not excessive pedal travel when stepping on the brakes, and making sure the vehicles stops and does not pull to either side at a speed of 4-8mph. Speeds rarely traveled at, speeds also easily controllable should there be a brake issue. Sure these may show if there is a fluid leakage. Not the actual condition of the braking system.

Oh, yeah, that's not much, I'm surprised they don't include a visual inspection of the pads and rotors.
