A device causes an augmented reality (AR) scene to be presented on a display that depicts a vehicle subject to a vehicle inspection, captures an image of the vehicle, and identifies a ground plane in the AR scene. The device identifies a location in the image that is part of the ground plane and that is known relative to the vehicle. The device superimposes a three-dimensional representation corresponding to the vehicle based on the location identified as part of the ground plane. The device generates, based on a user interaction with the display, vehicle inspection data that describes a state of a component of the vehicle. The device causes a vehicle inspection report to be created based on the vehicle inspection data.
