Can a Sedan Undergo Annual Inspection with Traffic Violations?
1 Answers
In theory, a vehicle with traffic violations can undergo an annual inspection, but in practice, owners are usually required to settle the violations before proceeding with the inspection. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office within three months before the expiration of the vehicle's inspection validity period. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. Motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections at the following intervals from the date of registration: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: once a year within the first 5 years; every 6 months after 5 years. 2. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: once a year within the first 10 years; every 6 months after 10 years. 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once a year after 6 years; every 6 months after 15 years. 4. Motorcycles: once every 2 years within the first 4 years; once a year after 4 years. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: once a year. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified period do not need to undergo repeated inspections. 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age: cannot be transferred (sold or bought) but can still be used; for transactions, the owner must first obtain a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's records) from the vehicle management office.
