Can a motorcycle that hasn't been inspected for 9 years still be used?
1 Answers
According to motorcycle inspection regulations, if a vehicle exceeds three consecutive inspection cycles without inspection, it will be forcibly scrapped and cannot undergo supplementary inspection. No further inspection or supplementary inspection allowed: Although the new motorcycle inspection regulations now exempt motorcycles from inspection for the first six years (effective from June 2019, so it hasn't been nine years yet), a motorcycle that hasn't been inspected for nine years clearly exceeds this limit. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the vehicle can no longer undergo inspection or supplementary inspection. It will likely have to be scrapped and deregistered. You should take the necessary documents to the vehicle management office for verification and follow their instructions for the process. Motorcycle inspection regulations: For motorcycles under 4 years old, inspection is required every 2 years. For motorcycles over 4 years old, inspection is required annually. The validity period of the vehicle inspection expires at the end of the month in which the vehicle was registered. The vehicle should undergo inspection within three months before the expiration of the inspection validity period. Before applying for vehicle inspection, the owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. When applying, the owner must fill out an application form and submit the vehicle's license, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate, and the vehicle safety technical inspection certificate.
