Also as a note, antique vehicles don't need inspection. I love that about my old motorcycle. I certify that I will keep it safe. However I have a 10k mile per year limit and can't go more than 250 miles from home. It's ok for my old bike though. Just a thought for those that have vehicles over 25 years old.
X2 there are other restrictions as well on antique tagged vehicles in VA can not be driven daily or to work. Can only be driven for pleasure / parades / test driving etc. We have 3 cars with antique tags & 3 vehicles with standard tags. The antique tag is a permanent tag. See below
In VA small single axle utility trailers without bakes do not have to be inspected. Permanent tags are available for all trailers again based on gross weight.
or a vehicle to be defined as "antique," it must be 25 years old or older. If the vehicle is registered as an antique through the Department of Motor Vehicles, it is exempt from state inspection.
From the VASP website
Restrictions: Antique motor vehicles shall not be used for general transportation purposes, including, but not limited to, daily travel to and from the owner’s place of employment. Such vehicle may be operated on the highway for participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, and similar events or for the purpose of testing their operation, obtaining repairs or maintenance, transportation to and from the events earlier described, and for occasional pleasure drives, not to exceed 250 miles from the residence of the owner.
