You may already be familiar with the smog check requirements for your personal sedan or SUV, but what about your commercial van? If you’re coming up on your first Metris or Sprinter smog check near Irvine, not to worry. The smog check requirements for gas-powered commercial vans are largely similar to those for standard passenger vehicles. However, the rules for diesel-powered vans are a little different.
Fletcher Jones Van Center provides everything Sprinter and Metris van owners should know about California’s smog check regulations in the guide below. If you have an upcoming Sprinter or Metris smog check near Costa Mesa, our service center can ensure your van is in good shape to pass!
If you recently moved to Huntington Beach from a state that didn’t require smog checks, you might be wondering what “smog check” means. Also referred to as a smog test or emissions test, a smog check is a test that measures the level of pollution your vehicle’s tailpipe emits. There is a legal limit your vehicle must meet. If your Sprinter or Metris Van fails a smog check near Laguna Beach, you will need to visit a service center for repair, then get the smog check again.
In California, smog checks are required every other year. However, if you’re driving a newer gas-powered Sprinter or Metris Van in Orange County, you might not have to worry about the biennial smog check just yet. According to the California DMV, any gas-powered vehicle that is over eight model years old is required to get a smog check every other year.
If you purchase a used gas-powered vehicle that is over four model years old, a smog test will be required to transfer the ownership and register it under your name. After the initial registration, the rule of eight model years or older takes effect.
If your Metris or Sprinter Van runs on diesel power, the smog check rules are different for you. According to the California DMV, any diesel-powered vehicle that is a 1997 model year or newer must get a smog check every other year.
If you’re unsure whether or not your Sprinter or Metris will pass a smog check near Irvine, schedule service at Fletcher Jones Van Center prior to that so we can diagnose for any repairs that may be needed.
