1 Answers
According to the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': Non-commercial 7-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection for six years, with inspections required every two years from six to ten years, and annually for vehicles over ten years old. Vehicles over 15 years old require inspection every six months. For commercial 7-seater vehicles, inspections are required annually within the first five years and every six months thereafter. Documents required for vehicle annual inspection include the vehicle's driving license, valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, the owner's ID card, and all traffic violation records must be cleared in advance. Additional notes: For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required annually within the first ten years and every six months thereafter. For motorcycles, inspections are required every two years within the first four years and annually thereafter. According to the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', the main items included in vehicle annual inspection are: Exterior inspection: Mainly checks vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires. It verifies if the lights are functioning correctly, if there are any non-working lights, if the vehicle's color has been changed, and if the suspension has been modified. Emission test: Checks if the vehicle's tailpipe emissions meet national standards during high-speed operation. On-line inspection: Primarily examines the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: All traffic violation records must be cleared before the annual inspection to pass. Vehicle annual inspection can be conducted up to 90 days in advance but must not be overdue. According to the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', the consequences of overdue inspection are as follows: Vehicles that fail to undergo inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving an uninspected vehicle on the road results in 3 penalty points and a fine of 200 yuan. In case of a traffic accident involving an uninspected vehicle, the party involved bears full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate. Driving an uninspected vehicle on the road is considered illegal driving and may lead to vehicle impoundment.
