Can a Used National 5 Vehicle Be Licensed?
2 Answers
Used National 5 vehicles can be licensed. Here is some information about used National 5 vehicles: 1. National 5 Standard: Used vehicles that meet the National 5 emission standards can be normally transferred and licensed. The relocation policies in various cities across the country have not changed, and the national policy trend is to gradually remove restrictions on used vehicles. Some cities have already lowered their relocation standards, so the cross-region transfer of National 5 used vehicles is also possible. 2. National 6 Standard: The implementation of the National 6 emission standards will have some impact on the used car market, but it will not cause a so-called 'huge uproar.' For regions where the National 6 emission standards have not yet been implemented, the impact on the used car market is minimal.
Actually, whether a used National 5 (China 5) emission standard vehicle can be registered depends on which city you're in. After the national emission standards were upgraded to National 6, many major cities like Beijing and Shanghai have restricted new National 5 vehicles from being registered, but the policies for used cars are more flexible. In most second- and third-tier cities or smaller towns, National 5 used cars can still be normally registered and traded. I recommend checking the latest regulations with your local vehicle management office or environmental protection bureau, as they adjust policies based on local air quality. The higher the emission standard, the more environmentally friendly - National 6 vehicles are better for the environment. However, if a National 5 used car is well-maintained and meets condition standards, registration shouldn't be a problem in permitted areas. Remember to bring all required documents when purchasing, and don't just rely on the seller's claims.
