His was not old enough to need an initial test and they dropped the requirement for resale cars to have a test in 2017 so it will not show up.
Drive Clean test
Used heavy-duty vehicles require a
valid Drive Clean test pass when they are sold in order to transfer the ownership if the model year is older than the current year.
As of April 1, 2017, used light-duty vehicles no longer require a Drive Clean test at resale or to transfer a vehicle in Ontario. This includes out of province and out of country vehicles transferred into Ontario.
Before purchasing a used vehicle, buyers are encouraged to check that vehicle's most recent Drive Clean test results on the
Drive Clean website. All you need is the vehicle identification number (VIN) to conduct this free search.
Although not required, you can also ask the vehicle seller to perform a Drive Clean emission test and provide you with the results before buying the vehicle to ensure it does not have any emissions problems.
