No. Your car won't need to complete an inspection for a typical vehicle registration.
However, it may have to pass an emissions inspection later; keep reading for the details.
The DMV notifies you (via your renewal notice) when your car must be tested. You can also find this information on the DMV site. Your vehicle can complete the tests up to 180 days before its registration renewal date at one of the nine inspection stations in southeastern Wisconsin.
If your car fails the emissions test, you must make the necessary repairs. If it still can't pass the inspection before the renewal date, it's registration will be suspended.
