Can a private car generally last for 15 years?

Generally, there is no problem for a private car to last for 15 years. However, current traffic laws have introduced new regulations regarding the service life of vehicles. For non-commercial vehicles, if the car has been in use for more than 15 years, the owner must undergo an annual inspection at the vehicle management office every six months. Additionally, there are regulations on mileage: if a passenger car's mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, it must be mandatorily scrapped. Brake pads require regular inspection: Front brake pads should be inspected at 30,000 kilometers, and rear brake pads should be checked at around 60,000 kilometers. If they are worn out quickly, they should be replaced promptly. Scheduled maintenance is crucial: It is essential to have the car serviced at a professional 4S shop within the specified time intervals. Typically, minor maintenance is required every 5,000 kilometers, major maintenance every 10,000 kilometers, and this cycle repeats every 5,000 kilometers thereafter.
