At What Mileage Should a Car Be Scrapped?

You can first apply for a temporary ID card if you don't have an ID card, and you can take the test with the temporary ID card. The subject four test paper consists of 50 questions, mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. Subject four, also known as the subject four theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the subject three test was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and civilization knowledge test was added, commonly known as "subject four," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after subject three, it is commonly referred to as the subject four test. In official terms, there is no subject four. If you fail subject four, you don't need to retake the previously passed subjects (subject one, subject two, subject three). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. There is no limit on the number of retakes, but the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I believe vehicle scrapping mainly depends on the car's condition. The national guideline for private car retirement mileage is 600,000 kilometers, but actual usage matters most. My neighbor's old Accord has already clocked 700,000 km - it had one major engine overhaul and still runs short trips. The key is regular maintenance, with frequent checks on critical components like brakes, suspension, and steering systems. But honestly, cars over 400,000 km develop more minor issues, and repair costs may exceed the car's value - sometimes replacement just makes sense.
