After how many years does a car require biannual inspections?
1 Answers
Cars that are over 15 years old require biannual inspections. For family-owned small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats), there is an exemption from on-site inspections for the first 6 years from the date of purchase. However, vehicle owners must still collect the annual inspection sticker and environmental protection sticker from the vehicle management office every two years. After 6 years, the vehicle must undergo an annual inspection. The process for motor vehicle inspection is as follows: 1. Bring your driver's license, ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and the current valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, then drive the vehicle to the vehicle management office or an authorized inspection station. 2. Fill out the motor vehicle annual inspection application form at the vehicle management office and pay the inspection fee. 3. After payment, proceed to the external inspection area where staff will check the vehicle's exterior. Ensure you have a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle ready. Once the external inspection is completed, proceed immediately to the on-site inspection. After the inspection is finished, collect the inspection pass form at the designated window. 4. Take the pass form to the specified window to receive the annual inspection sticker and the green environmental protection inspection pass sticker. The inspection process is then complete.
