Can a Vehicle Undergo Annual Inspection in Another City?
2 Answers
A vehicle can undergo annual inspection in another city. The inspection items include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their affiliated equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Testing whether the vehicle's braking performance, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Verifying whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, and whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle; 4. Checking whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced.
Sure, as a seasoned long-distance driver, I can confidently say that getting your vehicle inspected in another city is completely fine. Last year when I was on a business trip to Chengdu, it happened to be time for my car's annual inspection. I simply went to a local testing station and got it done. Nowadays, with relaxed policies and nationwide networking, you can get your inspection done anywhere—just bring your vehicle license and ID card. The benefits include saving time (no need to make a special trip back to your hometown) and avoiding the risks of fatigued driving. I recommend booking the testing station online in advance to minimize waiting time. Of course, after the inspection, pay attention to reports like emissions—if there are issues, get them fixed on the spot instead of delaying. The process for an out-of-town inspection is basically the same as a local one, with transparent fees, making it a convenient option.
