They are not "required" to anything to the car. This is true in most locations. In some states they must do a basic safety inspection, so tires and brakes have to be legal and lights have to work, etc. Check with your state's DMV or Bureau of Consumer Affairs to learn whether your state has any requirements the dealer must fulfill.

California, for example, has few such requirements but it allows a used car to be sold as 'certified' if it meets a specific list of quality standards. If the car isn't certified you are allowed to ask why it is not.

When a used vehicle is sold in California, the seller is legally responsible for making sure that the vehicle's emission (smog) control equipment complies with state requirements. There is no provision in the law allowing a seller to sell a vehicle "as is." (Calif. DMV)
