VS-1074S

The Motor Vehicle Inspection Record (Form VS-1074S) is an official document issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for licensed inspection stations to record safety inspections for vehicles, specifically those not recorded via computerized equipment. The form captures essential vehicle data—including the year, make, license plate number, and odometer reading—alongside specific inspection results for components like brakes, steering, lights, and tires. It serves as a regulatory tool to ensure vehicles meet state safety standards, promoting public safety and providing necessary documentation for vehicle registrations and sales.

Inspection stations are required to maintain these records in an orderly, chronological manner and must retain them for a minimum of two years from the date of the last entry. While the form is used by technicians and fleet managers for compliance, it also provides vehicle owners with proof of inspection. Different versions of the form, such as VS-1074SD for diesel emissions or VS-1074M for motorcycles, are utilized depending on the vehicle type and the station's specific licensing. Failure to maintain these records or a supply of inspection certificates can lead to the suspension of a station's authority to conduct inspections.
