One thing that regularly fails cars with emissions problems is a cold engine.

When waiting for the car to be inspected, people sometimes turn the car off or just happened to start it up and drive it straight over.

The engine does not come up to operating temp and still has foul emissions that fail it in a test.

If you think this is what may have happened, next time warm the car up before test. Even a new car can fail such a test if it has not been running for a bit, particularly in colder weather such as we have here on the East Coast.
