Hi and welcome again to CCF ! I did a search with Perplexity AI and this came up. I hope it's some help. And here is a link to the NB manual.....

New Brunswick uses a detailed safety standard, but the full “official” list lives in the provincial inspection manual, not in a short summary. The core items that must be in safe working order to pass a Motor Vehicle Inspection (MVI) are
ocumentation and generalValid registration and proof of insurance in the correct name. �Vehicle identification number (VIN) must be legible and must match documents. �No obvious structural rot or damage that compromises safety (frame, subframes, major body structure). �BrakesService brakes must stop the vehicle effectively, with no severe pulling, grabbing, or abnormal pedal travel. �Parking brake must hold the vehicle on a reasonable grade and fully release. �No leaking brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders, calipers, or master cylinder; no severely corroded lines. �Rotors, drums, pads, and shoes must be above minimum thickness and free of dangerous cracks. �Steering and suspensionSteering components (tie rods, ball joints, idler/pitman arms, rack, column) must be tight, with no excessive play. �Power steering must function properly with no serious leaks. �Suspension components (control arms, springs, struts/shocks, bushings) must not be broken, loose, or excessively worn. �Wheel bearings must be properly adjusted and not noisy or loose. �Tires and wheelsTires must have at least the minimum legal tread depth and no exposed cords, bulges, or major sidewall damage. �Tires must be suitable for the vehicle and not dangerously mismatched in size on the same axle. �Rims must not be cracked, badly bent, or otherwise structurally damaged; all wheel fasteners present and secure. �Lights and electricalHeadlights (high and low beam) must operate, be securely mounted, and aimed within specified limits. �Tail lights, brake lights, rear plate light, turn signals, and hazard flashers must all work. �Required reflectors and side marker lights must be present and functional where applicable. �Horn must operate and be audible at a reasonable distance. �Glass, wipers, mirrorsWindshield cannot have cracks or damage in critical viewing areas that obstruct the driver’s view; no unsafe aftermarket tint in required vision areas. �Driver’s and front passenger side windows must operate as required and not impede visibility. �Wiper arms and blades must work correctly and clear the glass effectively; washer system must function if originally equipped. �At least required mirrors (outside driver’s side and either inside rear-view or passenger-side mirror, depending on design) must be present, properly mounted, and not broken. �Exhaust and emissions-related safetyExhaust system must be securely mounted, with no leaks that could allow fumes into the cabin. �Muffler must be in place and not modified in a way that violates noise or safety rules. �No exhaust routing that risks heat damage to fuel/brake lines or the body. �Fuel systemFuel tank, filler neck, and lines must be properly mounted and free of leaks. �No unsafe fuel line routing or improvised containers. �Body, bumpers, and safety equipmentDoors, hood, and trunk/hatch must latch securely and open as designed from appropriate handles. �Bumpers (where originally equipped) must be securely attached and not dangerously damaged. �Seats must be firmly attached; seat belts must be present at all required seating positions, in good condition, and must latch properly. �Airbag and other critical warning lights typically must not show persistent faults indicating an active safety system failure, per manual guidance. �Inspection interval and where it’s done (context)Personal passenger vehicles that pass inspection need re‑inspection every two years, at a licensed inspection station, with a fee of about $45. �New vehicles under 3,000 kg curb mass get an initial inspection valid for three years when sold by a dealer. �If you want a literal item‑by‑item checklist, the “New Brunswick Official Vehicle Inspection Station Manual” is what garages use, and it spells out pass/fail criteria for each component in detail. �
