Are 7-seater vehicles also exempt from inspection for 6 years now?

Yes, they are exempt from inspection for 6 years. To implement the 6-year exemption, it is necessary to correctly understand the 6-year exemption policy. The correct interpretation of the 6-year exemption is that within the first six years of using the motor vehicle, it is exempt from on-site inspection, excluding the sixth year. However, inspection procedures must be completed in the second and fourth years of use; otherwise, it will be considered as inspection delinquency. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Vehicles exempt from inspection can apply through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123": Before applying, all traffic violations and unresolved traffic accidents of the vehicle must be addressed. The process can be completed within one working day. 2. Motor vehicles that do not undergo annual inspection are in a state of inspection delinquency: Driving a vehicle in inspection delinquency is illegal. If a motor vehicle fails to complete the annual inspection procedures for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped. All traffic accidents caused by forcibly scrapped vehicles on the road will be the responsibility of the delinquency party.
I've had a 7-seater SUV for over two years now, and I just applied for the inspection exemption mark on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. I confirmed that it also enjoys the policy of exemption from on-site inspection within 6 years after new vehicle registration, just like 5-seater vehicles. The key is that it must be a private non-commercial vehicle, otherwise, it would require annual inspections. Don’t be lazy—remember to apply for that mark every two years on time, or you’ll face a 200-yuan fine and 3 demerit points if caught driving without it. My neighbor forgot last time and got caught red-handed, wasting half a day dealing with it. I recommend car owners take advantage of the free policy to maintain their vehicles well, such as checking lights and tires, instead of waiting for problems to arise.
