After how many years does a new car need an annual inspection?
1 Answers
New cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. The documents required for annual inspection include: vehicle license (both original and copy), ID card of the vehicle owner, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate. Below are details about vehicle inspection: Regulations on vehicle inspection timelines: For vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years old, only 2 on-site inspections are required, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Vehicles over 10 years old require annual inspection; those over 15 years old need inspection every 6 months. For passenger transport vehicles, annual inspection is required within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Risks of not conducting annual inspection on time: If driving an uninspected vehicle on the road causes an accident, insurance companies may refuse compensation, leaving all responsibilities to the driver. If a vehicle fails to pass inspection for 3 consecutive inspection cycles and doesn't obtain the inspection compliance mark, the vehicle will be deregistered and forcibly scrapped.
