What areas are covered under body condition during the inspection?

The areas covered under body condition during a vehicle inspection focus primarily on the integrity and overall structural condition of the vehicle. This includes assessing the frame for any signs of damage or weakness, which can significantly affect the vehicle's safety and performance. Rust is another critical factor, as it can compromise the strength of the metal components and lead to more extensive damage if not addressed. Overall structural condition encapsulates any issues that might affect the vehicle's safety, including body panels and mounting points that support the vehicle's overall framework.

While options such as paint condition and mirror alignment, window functionality and door seals, as well as tyre wear and alignment are important aspects of vehicle maintenance and safety, they are not typically encompassed under the category of body condition in formal inspections. Instead, these elements are often categorized separately under cosmetic evaluation or vehicle performance assessments. Therefore, the emphasis on frame integrity, rust, and the overall structural condition is what defines the focus on body condition during the Maryland State Inspection.
