A car cannot pass the annual inspection if the malfunction indicator light is on. The annual inspection checks whether the car meets the required standards, and if any malfunction indicator light is illuminated during the inspection, the car will fail. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and related equipment are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint finish is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust emissions, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Requirements for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Check whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations, and whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle. Also, verify whether any changes have been properly approved and documented. Inspect whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or district where the vehicle is registered, along with the maximum seating capacity in the driver's cabin, is painted in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the rear tailgate of trailers) displays the license plate number enlarged 2–3 times as required. For privately owned or jointly operated vehicles, check whether the word "Private" is painted on both sides of the door. The markings must be clear and should not include unit codes or other patterns (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Golf 1.4T has a maximum torque of 250 N·m, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Golf 1.4T is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Golf 1.4T has a power-to-weight ratio of 110 Hp/T, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds.
