Can a car pass the annual inspection after an engine replacement?
1 Answers
Replacing the engine does not prevent a car from passing the annual inspection, but it is necessary to first complete the modification registration at the vehicle management office; otherwise, the inspection cannot be passed. According to the motor vehicle registration regulations, if a registered motor vehicle undergoes any of the following changes, the owner must apply for modification registration at the local vehicle management office: changing the body color or replacing the engine. If the engine is replaced without completing the modification registration at the vehicle management office, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. Documents required for engine replacement modification registration include: the vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle modification registration application form, motor vehicle registration business process record, owner's identity proof, engine origin certificate, safety technical inspection certificate, and criminal inspection certificate.
