Melbourne, Australia: Zero inspections ever.
I purchased a used car a decade ago and I have never had a mechanic service it or inspect it. I had a proper shop do a head gasket swap 5 years ago and I legit think I could have done a better job just reading the workshop manual and having a go.
It won't get forced into a roadworthy check unless a cop pulls me over for something super obvious like smoke billowing out the side.
I know someone who bought a car second-hand and onsold it 5 years later with the same oil that was originally in it.
