The Vehicle Inspection Record
- Safety Motorcycle (Form VS-1074M) is a regulatory document issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles for licensed inspection stations to record safety-only inspections for motorcycles. The form requires detailed entries for each vehicle, including the inspection date, year, make, plate number or VIN, odometer reading, and specific results for safety components such as brakes, steering, suspension, frame, exhaust, lights, reflectors, tires, horn, and mirrors.
Stations are mandated to maintain these records in chronological order for at least two years from the date of the last entry and must make them available for audit by DMV inspectors. The document also serves as a certification log, requiring the inspector’s certification number and the serial number of the inspection certificate issued upon passing, or a "rejected" notation if the vehicle fails. Additionally, it provides specific instructions for recording inspections not captured by electronic equipment and mandates that all entries be completed before a vehicle leaves the premises.
