Are All New Vehicles Exempt from Inspection for 6 Years?
2 Answers
New vehicles are exempt from inspection for 6 years. The 6-year exemption for new vehicles means that within the first 6 years, the vehicle does not need to undergo an on-site inspection at a vehicle inspection station. However, the owner is still required to conduct a periodic check every two years. During the first 6 years, in the second and fourth years, the owner only needs to complete some relevant procedures, while in the sixth year, the vehicle must be taken to the inspection station for an on-site inspection. Only after passing the inspection can the inspection label be obtained. Below is an introduction to the vehicle annual inspection requirements: Passenger vehicles for commercial use: Must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, every 6 months. Non-commercial passenger vehicles: Must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, every 6 months. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles: Must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; after 15 years, every 6 months.
I bought my car last year just in time to benefit from the policy, let me explain the details. The 6-year exemption means private passenger vehicles don't need on-site inspections for the first 6 years, but you must collect the inspection sticker every two years. The process is super convenient now - just handle it through the 12123 traffic management app. However, note that to qualify for the exemption period, several conditions must be met: the vehicle hasn't been in any major accidents, it's for non-commercial use, and has 7 seats or fewer. My SUV meets all these requirements. But if you bought a truck or minivan, you'll need to go through annual on-site inspections. Also, remember that exemption doesn't mean you can neglect the car - you'll still get fined for things like non-functioning brake lights or unauthorized wheel modifications.
