I agree that there is certainly no guarantee that an annual inspection is going to catch everything or that it's going to stop all equipment failure. But it helps. My mechanic found that our Wrangler had a cracked and seriously rusted frame long before I ever noticed any issue. You get used to driving a vehicle and it's peculiarities. An inspection caught that for us. I'm long since retired now, but I've seen a LOT of uninspected vehicles with a laundry list of issues and a driver who was well aware of many of them.

Nope, but I think the system itself is a good idea. I won't even get into emissions, that's just a complete boondoggle outside of heavily populated areas IMO.
