I know this may sound like a horrible idea and may get blasted for it...

2 things (correct me if Im wrong)

1) since your Box 2 VI is already past due, if the cops see you... that is an instant box 1 + license plate comes off the car right there and then (even if somehow you get lucky... you wont be able to renew your insurance when it expires in a month or so)

2) you will be surprised how many people actually do help on RS (yes, you get some slack for asking a "dumb" question or just people judging in general, but even then.. I get PMs from people that genuinely helps), I hope someone that is an inspector OR very knowledgeable will just come see your car first.. maybe you can compensate with a 6-pack or smth? but they would be able to tell you if the car actually passes or not...

From your description... I would say.. it will fail on 2 points
- your (sometime) failed sensor causing a check engine light
- your tires are already at the wear bars

Good luck OP, I know it sucks, but just gotta put your head down and work thru it!

**Another unpopular idea would be to sell your car with an expired VI as is.. it just means the new owner "cant" insure it when they buy it... and whatever you can get for the car... use it to buy a cheap daily.. like a 1995 corolla (no joke, i drove a 96 failmatic corolla for over 3 years, but hey! it was transportation, cheap and reliable, better than bus and skytrain)

sorry this post went on waaayyyy longer than expected... go go go!
