Indiana doesn't have yearly inspections. Some of the things I've seen going down the road make me wish we had yearly inspections.
Hi Kansas used to have yearly inspections. I took a 1978 Plymouth into the inspection place in 1983, I left Illinois with a brand new brake job. I took my car to a tire store to get it inspected. They said I needed a brake job for $380.00, I said no, they said I couldn't have my car back because it wasn't safe until I got new brakes. I asked to see the car, nope, OSHA regulations, so I had to pay $380 to get new, new brakes. The guy with the Caddy in line with me had to pay $800 for brakes and tires. A guy I knew who had worked inspections said that they made a 19 year old pay $1600 on a brand new Camero (less than 500 miles) because he was a smart A$$ and said that since it was a new car, they couldn't make him pay ANYTHING. Ooops. They put new tires and a new transmission in it if I remember correctly.
About a year or so later, Kansas got rid of the inspection deal. It was only on cars being newly licensed in the state. It was a TOTAL fraud job.
