So strictly speaking, just by selling you a cat deleted car, dealer has already broken the law. |
So I just did that and I get these results:
Your vehicle is not eligible for a free test. Please double check your VIN and try re-entering it.

here for more information on the eligibility requirements for a free test.
This report was run on Jan 24, 2019 13:50:49 EST On April 1, 2017, Drive Clean eliminated the $30 initial test fee for light-duty vehicles (vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) less than 4500 kg).
Heavy-duty vehicles (vehicles with a GVWR greater than 4500 kg) do not qualify for a free test and will be required to pay the heavy-duty test fee.
Our emissions test reports and our online vehicle lookup are designed to provide information on free test eligibility for light-duty vehicles only. If you searched for a heavy duty vehicle, the information above may incorrectly indicate that a test should be free. Emissions test reports may similarly incorrectly indicate that a test is free.
A vehicle's GVWR can usually be found on the Statement of Compliance label in the driver's door opening.
No vehicle test history found.
No vehicle repair history found.
So...
