Are new cars exempt from inspection for 6 years?

[LaArthur]

New cars are exempt from inspection for 6 years. The 6-year exemption for new cars means that the vehicle does not need to undergo on-site inspection at a vehicle inspection station for the first 6 years, but the owner still needs 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 related procedures, while in the sixth year, the owner must take the car to the inspection station for an on-site inspection. Only after passing the inspection can the owner receive the inspection mark. Below is an introduction to the vehicle inspection requirements: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year for the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspected once every 6 months; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year for the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspected once every 6 months; 3. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years for the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspected once a year; after 15 years, inspected once every 6 months; 4. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years for the first 4 years; after 4 years, inspected once a year; 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. Commercial motor vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period do not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections; 6. Vehicles that exceed the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought) but can continue to be used: For transactions, the owner can first apply for the vehicle’s scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle’s file) at the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the transaction.

I just bought a new car and I'm really excited about it. That's right, new cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, meaning you don’t need to go through those tedious checks at the inspection station during this period, which saves a lot of hassle. But remember, every two years, you must apply for the inspection label via the Traffic Management 12123 app or the online service platform—just fill in some vehicle details and you’re good to go. The conditions are that it must be an ordinary sedan or SUV; minivans with more than seven seats don’t qualify, and the car must not have been modified or involved in any major accidents. A friend of mine was careless and forgot to apply in the first year, ending up with a fine—what a waste! So while you’re still excited about the new car, set a phone reminder and get it done easily. All in all, this policy is quite considerate, making driving more worry-free.

Having driven for many years, I deeply understand this issue. New vehicles indeed enjoy a 6-year exemption from inspection, meaning you don't need to visit the testing station annually for on-site tests during the first 6 years. However, you must apply for the inspection label online every two years, which is quite convenient. The vehicle must be a small family passenger car, such as a regular sedan or SUV, and must not be modified. After 6 years, annual inspections become mandatory. I advise fellow drivers to keep track of the timeline and avoid delays to prevent fines or safety risks. New car owners should pay special attention—while this policy saves trouble, don't neglect routine maintenance. Keeping your car in good condition is essential. Safety comes first; even though the policy is beneficial, approach it rationally.

As someone who often helps others with car repairs, I know this. New cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, meaning they don't need to undergo on-site testing during this period, but you must apply for the inspection label online every two years. The vehicle must be a standard sedan type; vans or modified vehicles are not eligible. After 6 years, inspections become more frequent. Remembering this can save you hassle, and I recommend combining it with regular vehicle maintenance, like scheduled oil changes and brake checks. Safety is the priority—don't slack on maintenance just because of the policy.

Wow, as a young person getting my first car, I find this policy really convenient. New cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, so I don't have to visit the inspection station annually. However, I still need to apply for the inspection decal every two years, which is simple and can be done on my phone. The vehicle must be a standard small passenger car without any modifications. This saves me a lot of time, allowing me to focus on the joy of driving. I remind myself not to be too lazy and to apply on time. After all, safe driving is very important.

With a new car at home, safety is the top priority. The new car is exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, meaning it doesn’t need an on-site inspection, but you must apply for the inspection label online every two years. The condition is that the vehicle is in normal condition, with no accidents or modifications. After 6 years, it must be inspected annually. My spouse and I set regular reminders to apply for the label, saving us trouble. Don’t neglect routine checks like tires and lights just because the policy is relaxed. New car owners, remember this tip—it’s both convenient and reassuring.
