I was just forwarded a link to a CA Department of Consumer Affairs Bureau Of Automotive Repair. And basically you can get the smog history of any vehicle by typing in just a license plate or a VIN number.
From the site
**Note: "Display of both the VIN and plate number has been removed due to privacy concerns. Therefore, this information will not be reported back in the 'Vehicle Test History Report'. You may continue to look up a vehicle's test history using either the VIN or the plate number. However, the Bureau recommends using the VIN to obtain the most accurate results as a vehicle's plate number may change."
Here is the site: http://www.bar.ca.gov/pubwebquery/Vehicle/PubTstQry.aspx
Mine passed every time: 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2009. Guess that means I can expect to have to do it again this year. Better get this P0401 code cleared AGAIN!
