Water expands slightly as it warms up, so it needs somewhere to go. In some homes, like mine, it can go back up the supply pipe because I *don't* have a PRV/backflow preventer. Hence, I don't have need an expansion tank. Probably the inspector was translating code speak to homeowner speak.

*adding a caveat that your local area might have codes requiring an expansion tank for other reasons. Codes aren't always logical. But the suggestion that expansion tanks extend the life of a water heater seems dubious to me.

I mean, I can puzzle my way into a circumstance where that might be true, but that's not the reason expansion tanks are needed. In general, if you have a pressure reducing valve or a backflow prevention device installed on the water line coming into your home, you need one.
