Can a Used China 5 Vehicle Be Licensed?
3 Answers
Whether in regions where the China 6 standard has already been implemented or in areas where it has not yet been enforced, used vehicles meeting the China 5 emission standards can be normally transferred and licensed. The import policies of various cities across the country have not changed, and the national policy trend is gradually lifting restrictions on used cars. Some cities have already lowered their import standards, so cross-regional transfer of China 5 used vehicles is also possible. Precautions for purchasing used cars: 1. When buying a used car, first walk around the vehicle to check if all four tires are properly inflated. 2. Observe whether the tire brands are consistent. 3. Inspect the front wheels. 4. Check the wheel bearings of the used car. 5. After the used car transaction is completed, require the buyer to promptly submit the relevant documents.
Whether a used National V emission standard vehicle can be registered depends on local policies. Last year, I successfully registered a used National V car because our area hadn't implemented National VI restrictions at that time. Regulations vary significantly between cities. In cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen that implemented National VI standards early, it's basically impossible to register used National V vehicles now. If you're in small or medium-sized cities or third/fourth-tier cities, it's best to visit the DMV in person or call the 12345 citizen hotline to check the latest regulations. Before purchasing, make sure the seller provides a complete emission inspection report. Although National V cars are cheaper, their usage may be restricted later - some cities have already started limiting National V vehicles from entering urban areas.
Regarding the registration of used National V standard vehicles, the key now lies in the specific policies of the vehicle's destination. National regulations allow National V vehicles to circulate locally, but cross-region transfers depend on the emission standards of the receiving area. When helping a friend with this matter, I found that many cities in Zhejiang and Jiangsu still permit the transfer of National V vehicles, but it's essential to check the local vehicle management office's admission directory in advance. Additionally, the vehicle's emission compliance certificates must be complete. For imported vehicles, additional customs procedures are required. When purchasing, be sure to retain the annual inspection records provided by the original owner, as some cities may also require additional environmental testing before granting registration.
