Are 5-seater SUVs eligible for 6-year exemption from inspection?
2 Answers
Private 5-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection within 6 years, but this does not mean that the inspection compliance mark does not need to be applied for within 6 years. Instead, they are exempt from online inspection within 6 years, but the motor vehicle inspection compliance mark must be applied for every 2 years. Below is more relevant information: Notes: 1. For the biennial regular inspection, the vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection mark after providing proof of compulsory liability insurance for traffic accidents and proof of payment or exemption from vehicle and vessel tax, without the need to undergo safety technical inspection at an inspection institution. 2. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic safety violations and accidents related to the vehicle. However, if the vehicle has been involved in an accident resulting in casualties, it must still be inspected according to the original inspection cycle. For vehicles registered for more than 6 years (including 6 years), they must still be inspected once a year as required; for those over 15 years (including 15 years), they must be inspected twice a year as required. The traffic management departments of public security authorities should set up windows for issuing inspection marks at municipal and county-level vehicle management offices, traffic management service stations, and traffic violation handling windows to facilitate the public in obtaining inspection marks quickly and conveniently.
Friends who drive 5-seater SUVs, you must be concerned about the exemption policy. According to the automotive regulations I've checked, non-commercial small passenger vehicles, including 5-seater SUVs, enjoy a 6-year exemption from on-site inspections. This means that for the first 6 years after new car registration, you don't have to queue up for an annual vehicle inspection, saving both time and effort. However, remember that you still need to apply for the inspection mark every two years. Bring your vehicle license and insurance policy to the DMV or simply use the Traffic Management 12123 APP to handle it online. Neglecting this could result in fines or affect your driving. My SUV has been running for four years, and handling these procedures on time has been a breeze. The policy was updated last year, requiring on-site inspections in the 6th and 10th years within a 10-year period, with only mark applications needed at other times. Regularly check your lights and tires to ensure driving safety comes first—don't just enjoy the convenience and forget about safety maintenance.
