Ohio's vehicle test program requires emission testing for vehicles from 4 through 25 years old. The tailpipe emission test was necessary because only vehicles manufactured in 1996 and later were required to be equipped with a standardized OBD system for emissions testing purposes. In 2022, the vehicles from model year 1998 through 2018 will be tested. Because vehicles manufactured prior to 1996 are no longer subject to emission testing, tailpipe testing is no longer needed, and was discontinued on January 1, 2020.
