> Well because you can remove all of this for the inspection and then put it back on after, even if we ignore straight up bribery to pass the test
I'm not talking (only) about after market modding, rolling coal, or xenon upgrades but about plain old unmaintained clunkers. This is deep in "bribery to pass the test" territory. and law enforcement isn't willing to do anything about it on the road even if spotting these cars is trivial. Look out for a smoke plume during the day, or for the rolling artificial sun at night.
And this is in the country which is the source of clunkers for everyone else, not the destination.
