Can a 30-Year-Old Vehicle Still Be Driven on the Road?

[AnnieFitz]

It can be driven on the road, but there are two prerequisites. One is the issue of vehicle annual inspection, and the other is the reliability of the old car. According to regulations, vehicles that are 15 years old require two annual inspections per year. Moreover, older vehicles generally exceed emission standards and are usually guided toward scrapping. Below is an introduction to vehicle scrapping regulations: Latest regulations: According to the 2020 vehicle scrapping regulations, non-operational small and micro vehicles have no usage lifespan, but when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide them toward scrapping. Usage lifespan regulations: In 2020, the usage lifespan restrictions for non-operational passenger cars were abolished, while the scrapping mileage limit for private cars was set at 600,000 kilometers. Vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, require annual inspections from 6 to 15 years, and require two inspections per year after 15 years. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, it can continue to be driven on the road. Taxis and ride-hailing vehicles are subject to mandatory scrapping after 8 years.
