A 10-year-old Cruze can still be driven. Currently, all passenger cars have a 15-year lifespan, and if you wish to continue driving it beyond 15 years, you will need to undergo a vehicle inspection at the testing station every six months, which can be quite troublesome. Failure to Meet Safety Technical Standards: If the vehicle, after repairs and adjustments, still does not comply with the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles, it cannot be driven further. Emissions or Noise: If, after repairs, adjustments, or the application of control technologies, the vehicle's emissions or noise still do not meet the national standards for in-use vehicles, it cannot be driven further. Three Consecutive Failed Inspection Cycles: If the vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it cannot be driven further.

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in a Passat?

Passat engine warning light illumination is primarily caused by severe cylinder carbon buildup or poor combustion conditions, as detailed below. Severe Cylinder Carbon Buildup: After prolonged use, engines inevitably accumulate carbon deposits. These deposits alter the engine's designed parameters and, due to their unstable nature and heat retention properties, can cause uncontrolled ignition within the engine, leading to knocking. This condition triggers the engine warning light. Poor Combustion Conditions: Suboptimal engine combustion is a major reason for the warning light activation. In automotive design, oxygen sensors are installed to monitor combustion efficiency, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity. Poor combustion not only increases environmental pollution but also results in fuel wastage and accelerated engine wear.
