Yea, its tough on getting an exotic or hypercar inspected in Maryland. I'm holding the title on my 488 out of state b/c I can't find a place in Montgomery County that will do the state insp without screwing it up and now I got a 488 stuck in MD on temp tags. Criswell Maserati is the only Non German dealership I know of in MD when it comes to that level of cars... If you ever come over to Potomac coffee and cars on Sunday, you will notice that all the Lambos, McL, Ferrari's all have VA tags... VA will pass ANYTHING...

What about Brembo having the wear data? Im assuming they are still OEM?
Another MD option, find a Porsche, MB or Maserati dealership that does State Inspections. They sell/service Brembo brakes on their cars and could eyeball the pads better than a car shop.
Check my brake numbers..

Robert,
I don't have brake specifications for a 2019 V8 Vantage, but they shouldn't be hard to come by--try calling Aston Martin of Washington, DC.
If it's any help, here's what the spec's will look like, from the factory workshop manual (these are for the 2007 V8 Vantage that I owned):
I doubt that a 2019 V8V would have trouble passing inspection as a result of brake wear. At 42,000 miles, my car's front brake rotors had worn only 1 mm (i.e., one-half of the allowable wear). The front brake pads were worn about halfway.
Incidentally, if anyone needs a brand new set of AM factory front brake rotors for a 2007 V8V (standard model), I have a pair. The pair is yours for just $300, but pickup only.
