Can a motorcycle still be inspected after two years without annual inspection?

Motorcycles can still be inspected after two years without annual inspection. Vehicle inspections include three types: vehicle safety technical inspection, vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection. Motorcycles must be inspected every two years within the first four years; after four years, they must be inspected annually. The annual inspection date for a vehicle is determined by the initial registration date of the vehicle. For example, if the registration date on the motorcycle's license is February 2019, then the annual inspection should be conducted every February. Additionally, according to Article 40 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the owner of a motor vehicle can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office up to three months before the expiration of the current inspection period. This means that a motorcycle due for inspection in June can undergo the inspection in April, May, or June. New vehicles must be inspected every two years for the first six years, and annually thereafter. The inspection month corresponds to the vehicle's registration month. If the scheduled inspection month is inconvenient, the inspection can be conducted up to three months in advance (e.g., if the inspection is due in June, it can be done in April, May, or June). Early inspection does not affect the next scheduled inspection date. Given that most people tend to wait until the end of the month, congestion often occurs during that time. It is recommended to prepare for the inspection early in the month. Additionally, be sure to bring the vehicle license, copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy, the inspector's ID card, a warning triangle, and a fire extinguisher (ensure all traffic violations are resolved and no modifications have been made to the vehicle body).
