Can a Used National V Vehicle Still Be Transferred?

Used National V vehicles can be transferred as long as all the necessary documents and procedures are complete, and any traffic violations or accidents involving the vehicle have been resolved. The implementation of the National VI emission standards, which restrict the registration of National V vehicles, primarily targets new vehicles. New vehicles meeting National V emission standards will face registration restrictions. However, used National V vehicles in the second-hand car market are not subject to registration restrictions because the transfer of used vehicles only involves normal transaction procedures and does not require re-registration. Below are specific details about National V vehicles: 1. Identification: The National V emission standard is marked with the Roman numeral "V". 2. Emissions: Under the National V standard, gasoline vehicles have a carbon monoxide emission limit of 1000 mg/km. Compared to the National IV standard, the sulfur content in National V gasoline is reduced by 80%. For vehicles of the same displacement, the sulfur dioxide emissions from five National V vehicles are equivalent to those from one National IV vehicle. Compared to the National IV standard, the National V standard reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and by 43% for heavy-duty vehicles.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I just helped a friend transfer a China V (National 5) used car last year. Generally speaking, there aren't major issues as long as it's not an out-of-town vehicle being transferred into major cities. For instance, Shanghai and Beijing now basically prohibit the transfer registration of out-of-town China V vehicles, but local transactions are still permitted. Other cities like Chengdu and Wuhan have more relaxed policies, making the transfer process straightforward: just bring the vehicle registration certificate, ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the local DMV for registration. I recommend checking local environmental policies in advance, as China VI (National 6) standards are being strictly promoted now. Upgrading to a newer emission standard vehicle is better for the environment. Also, pay attention to vehicle condition inspection during transfer to avoid future troubles.

I just bought a used China V standard car, and as a newbie, I'm particularly worried about the transfer process. I asked several friends and the seller, and they all said it's possible in most places, but it depends on your city. There are more restrictions in first-tier cities, while second-tier and below are generally smooth. The transfer process isn't too complicated: first, the car needs to be inspected to confirm emissions, then prepare the relevant documents and submit the application, and it can be done within a few hours. I strongly recommend checking the local DMV website or calling for consultation first to avoid a wasted trip. Don't forget to settle fees like the vehicle purchase tax.

We live in a small city where transferring a China V emission standard vehicle faces no real restrictions. Our neighbor sold their China V car last month, and the transfer went smoothly—the DMV process was quick and hassle-free. Bigger cities have tighter controls on out-of-town vehicles, but local transactions face no obstacles. The process just requires both parties to register and pass an emissions check. I think this policy is quite user-friendly for ordinary folks, not affecting buying or selling—just make sure the vehicle is legally compliant with no historical issues.
