Yes, it really is 30 years. Once upon a time, it was only 25 years, but the state legislature changed it to 30. The following Q&A is from the FAQ at <http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/smogfaq.htm#BM2536> How old does a vehicle have to be to qualify for a smog exemption? Vehicles with a year model 30 years old or older are exempt from the smog certification requirements. Example: The calendar year is 2003- 29 = 1974 exempt year model The current calendar year minus 29 equals the year model exempt from smog certification.
