Can a Motorcycle Undergo Continued Inspection After Reaching Its Scrapping Period?
2 Answers
Motorcycles that have reached their scrapping period cannot undergo continued inspection. Vehicle scrapping process: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" in duplicate, with the owner's seal affixed. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner may choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle, presenting the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photographs after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must present the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed after approval according to regulations.
I've been riding motorcycles for almost twenty years, and my old buddy just reached its scrappage period this year. Last year, I thought about renewing the inspection to see if I could keep using it a bit longer, but when I went to the vehicle management office, the staff directly shook their heads and said no—expired motorcycles absolutely wouldn’t pass the annual inspection and had to be scrapped. Later, I realized that after years of use, the parts had aged and deformed, with issues like brakes and the engine frequently failing, posing huge safety risks. Even though it’s hard to let go, safety comes first. In the end, I obediently processed the scrappage and plan to switch to a new electric model for better environmental benefits and fuel efficiency. Everyone, remember to check your vehicle’s age records regularly to avoid last-minute chaos.
