Are 6-seater vehicles exempt from inspection for 6 years?
2 Answers
Six-seater vehicles can enjoy a six-year inspection exemption. Here is the relevant information about the six-year inspection exemption for vehicles: 1. Relevant laws: According to the "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Motor Vehicle Inspection Work" issued by the Ministry of Public Security and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of trial are exempt from inspection. This means that 6-seater vehicles can enjoy the 6-year inspection exemption. 2. Specific requirements: The 6-year inspection exemption does not mean that nothing needs to be done for 6 years. Instead, within 6 years, a periodic inspection is required every 2 years. The vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection mark by providing proof of compulsory liability insurance for traffic accidents and proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax, without the need for a safety technical inspection at an inspection agency. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve any road traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle.
I've been driving a six-seater for several years. The new car enjoys a 6-year exemption from inspection policy, meaning it doesn't need to go to the inspection station for on-site checks in the first 6 years, which saves a lot of hassle. This policy applies to non-commercial small passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, so a six-seater certainly qualifies. However, exemption doesn't mean doing nothing; you need to apply for an inspection mark every two years, which I can handle in just a few minutes using the 12123 APP. I've talked to a friend, and his seven-seater is just as hassle-free. Regular maintenance shouldn't be neglected—check the lights and brakes properly to avoid any issues after the 6-year period expires. It's cost-effective and convenient, making it perfect for family cars.
