Vehicle inspections cannot be conducted on weekends. According to national regulations, inspection stations operate from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on regular workdays and are closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Documents required for vehicle inspection: Original vehicle registration certificate, driver's license, original copy of compulsory traffic insurance, proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment, and ID card. Please note that all documents must be valid. Vehicle inspection cycles: Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually for the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually for the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected every 2 years for the first 6 years, annually thereafter, and every 6 months after 15 years. Motorcycles must be inspected every 2 years for the first 4 years, and annually thereafter. Tractors and other vehicles must be inspected annually. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety inspection within the specified period do not need to repeat the inspection. Consequences of overdue vehicle inspection: Vehicles that fail to undergo inspection on time not only compromise road safety but also subject the driver to a fine and 3 demerit points according to the Road Traffic Safety Law. For any traffic accidents caused by vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection on time, the responsible party will bear full or primary liability, and the insurance company will not be liable. This is because the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with overdue inspections are excluded from coverage. Particularly, according to the Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles, vehicles that fail to obtain an inspection certificate for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection period will be forcibly scrapped.
