Are Pickup Trucks Subject to Mandatory Scrapping After 15 Years?

[McDelaney]

Currently, pickup trucks are still subject to the mandatory scrapping regulation of 15 years or 600,000 kilometers. However, some regions are gradually lifting the 15-year scrapping rule for pickups, and there is no scrapping time limit for household pickup trucks. Definition of Scrapping Period: The vehicle scrapping period refers to a safety inspection system based on the number of seats and the duration of use for vehicles during their service life. According to the regulations, small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles, large non-operating cars, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles have no usage time limit. New Standards for Scrapping: As per the regulations, registered motor vehicles must be mandatorily scrapped under the following circumstances: reaching the stipulated service life; or failing to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles even after repairs and adjustments.
