At How Many Kilometers Should a Car Be Scrapped?

[DelElizabeth]

Cars are categorized into private vehicles and commercial vehicles, with their normal scrapping periods specified as follows: Regulations for scrapping private vehicles: For 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage lifespan. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. Apart from the aforementioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan restrictions. Common regulations for scrapping commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years; mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: First, the car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp it with the owner's seal. Then, wait for the registration acceptance counter to issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, the vehicle inspection counter will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" accordingly. Next, the owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle. The recycling company will verify the "Notice," dismantle the vehicle, and take photos, ensuring that the engine is separated from the vehicle, the engine block is broken, and the chassis is cut. Finally, the owner must submit the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the case will be submitted for approval as per regulations, completing the scrapping registration. Scrapping regulations for private vehicles state that 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, have no usage lifespan. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping.
