The items they list include:
“Brakes: Brakes are undoubtedly important. They will check to see if your brake pads and rotors are worn out or if there are any brake fluid leaks. They will also check your emergency brake.
Tires: They will check to see if your tread has been worn down or if there are any other defects you should be worried about.
Windshield: They will look for any cracks, chips, and loose seals.
Lights: They will check your taillights, headlights, hazard lights, signal lights, brake lights, and license plate lights to ensure everything is in great working condition.
Windshield wipers: They will check for streaking and proper function.
Mirrors: They will make sure everything is working effectively.
Seat belts: They will ensure they auto-lock and retract.
Steering and alignment and suspension”
It's also worth noting that as of January 1, 2018, safety inspections are not a prerequisite for registering most vehicles in Utah. There are, however, several exceptions.
The Utah DMV outlines these exceptions:
“Salvage vehicles that have been rebuilt and are requesting a rebuilt title.
First time street legal ATV registrations . This includes ownership transfers for previously registered street legal ATVs.
Commercial vehicles are required to obtain a safety inspection for display and presenting to law enforcement, but it is not a prerequisite for registration.
Motorhomes with three axles are considered a“Class 6” vehicle and require an annual safety inspection for display and presenting to law enforcement.”
ASA Insurance also includes a link to a detailed outline from the Utah Highway Patrol about vehicle safety inspections in Utah.
