Want this question answered?
No, after the first 3 years of a car it needs to be smogged to register the car. I think the only exception to this is hybrid models. I have a hybrid that is 6 years old and never had been required to have a smog done.
I need to have the smog on my car checked.
This depends entirely on make model year and engine of the car.
What do you mean smog a car? If car is sold "as is", buyer is responsible for all mandatory smog control equipment. If you mean pass a smog inspection, there are none in Iowa.
Yes that used car should pass smog inspection.
no
when they check your car!
car smog, mostly.
Get it fixed.
There could be many reasons why your car will not pass the smog check in your state. The inspection center should have given you a code as to why the car failed.
If you visit the site http://www.dmv.org/smog-check.php, you can check which states require a car smog test. Simply click on a state, and it will tell you whether one is required.
