Can a Private Car Be Used for 20 Years?

[OSimon]

Private cars can generally be used for 20 years. The policy requiring cars to be scrapped after 15 years of use has been abolished, replaced by a guideline for scrapping after 600,000 kilometers. This means that as long as a car's mileage does not exceed 600,000 kilometers and it passes the annual inspection, it can still be driven on the road, whether it's 20 or 30 years old. Annual Inspection Schedule: After a private car has been in use for more than 6 years, it generally needs to be inspected annually. After 15 years, it requires two inspections per year. As the car is used, its components gradually age, and its performance declines. If the car fails the annual inspection, it will be scrapped even if it hasn't reached 600,000 kilometers. Vehicle Emissions: With the increasing number of cars on the road, environmental policies have become stricter regarding vehicle emissions. As policies change, cars that fail to meet emission standards may be labeled as "yellow-label" vehicles, prohibited from driving in urban areas, and eventually scrapped.
