Can China V Vehicles Still Be Transferred and Licensed?
2 Answers
China V vehicles can still be transferred but are restricted from being licensed. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: Specific Explanation: They can be transferred. As long as the used car has complete documentation and all vehicle violations and accidents have been resolved, it can certainly be transferred. The implementation of China VI emissions standards restricts the licensing of China V vehicles, primarily targeting new cars. New China V emission vehicles will be restricted from being licensed. However, used China V emission vehicles in the used car market are not subject to licensing restrictions. Used Car Transactions: Because used car transactions only involve the normal transfer process, there is no need to re-license the vehicle. As long as there are complete documents such as the property certificate, vehicle license, annual inspection certificate, compulsory insurance, and the ID card of the property owner, the used car transaction can be completed. As for China VI and China V emissions, they have no impact whatsoever on used car transactions.
As an experienced car owner who frequently deals with used car transactions, I can tell you that China V emission standard vehicles can still be registered and transferred in some regions, depending on local policies. For example, first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai have strict restrictions due to high environmental protection requirements, prohibiting the transfer of non-local China V vehicles. However, second and third-tier cities or rural areas might have more lenient policies. I recommend checking the local DMV website or calling for consultation before proceeding with the transfer to confirm current regulations. This will save you unnecessary trips and wasted time and money. Additionally, China V vehicles may face driving restrictions in urban areas, causing inconvenience for daily commutes. From a long-term perspective, upgrading to a China VI vehicle is more reliable to avoid policy risks and maintain travel freedom. With stricter environmental regulations, many regions will completely ban China V vehicles from the road before 2025.
