A car that has failed its inspection can still be scrapped. However, this must be done in accordance with relevant laws. When scrapping the vehicle, the relevant motor vehicle documents must be provided to proceed legally. The owner of the motor vehicle must apply for deregistration by filling out an application form and submitting the following documents and proofs: the motor vehicle registration certificate; the motor vehicle driving license; if the vehicle is lost, the owner's identity proof and proof of the vehicle's loss must also be submitted. The vehicle management office will review the submitted documents and proofs within one day of acceptance, reclaim the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license, and issue a deregistration certificate. Below is relevant information: Mandatory Scrapping: On December 27, 2017, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Public Security, and other departments jointly issued the "Regulations on Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," which came into effect on May 1, 2017. The regulations clearly state that if a motor vehicle fails to obtain an inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection period, it should be mandatorily scrapped. Scrapping under the following circumstances: Reaching the national mandatory scrapping standard, and the motor vehicle owner fails to apply for deregistration on time; after the motor vehicle registration is legally revoked, the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, or driving license is not confiscated; a motor vehicle that has reached the national mandatory scrapping standard is legally confiscated and mandatorily scrapped; the motor vehicle owner fails to return the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, or driving license when applying for deregistration.
