Can a car still be driven after 12 years?
1 Answers
A car that has been used for 12 years can theoretically continue to be used as long as it is not damaged. New regulations implemented: Since May 1, 2013, the new regulations for phasing out and scrapping old vehicles have been implemented, with the scrapping age limit for private cars abolished and a mandatory scrapping at a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers. The regulations state that small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles have no usage age limit. The new regulations for the scrapping age of household cars, as officially issued by the Ministry of Commerce in the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," abolish the mileage age limit for non-operational cars and set the mileage limit for private car scrapping at 600,000 kilometers. Strict regulations: This method of abolishing the age limit and instead using mileage as the standard greatly improves the utilization rate of cars. Calculating based on a normal annual usage of 20,000 kilometers, the usage period of private cars is almost doubled. Although the age limit is abolished, it does not mean that any vehicle can truly reach 600,000 kilometers. The new policy has imposed stricter regulations on vehicle usage standards.
