Even a yearly check on brakes/tires/etc would be a help. I don't know how it is in the other states in general, but at least here in TX the annual state inspection has devolved into being purely about emissions. I remember they used to actually check other things, even little stuff like headlight alignment. These days you just drive up and they plug into OBD-II and check that you're meeting the emissions guidelines, take your money, and slap on a sticker. They could care less about your bald tires, cracked rotors, and non-existant brake pads.
