Can I have my vehicle inspected if there are unresolved traffic violations?

You cannot have your vehicle inspected if there are unresolved traffic violations. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Time: For passenger cars and blue-license-plate minivans, new vehicles require inspection every two years for the first six years after registration; after six years, they require annual inspection; after ten years, inspection is required once a year, and after fifteen years, twice a year. For trucks, annual inspection is required after registration, and after ten years, inspection is required twice a year. 2. Regulations: If a vehicle is found by traffic police on the road without annual inspection, the owner will be fined or the vehicle will be impounded. Additionally, in insurance contracts, vehicles that have not undergone timely annual inspection are considered unqualified, and no claims will be paid in the event of a car accident.
I learned my lesson last year during the annual inspection. I went to the testing station with three traffic violation tickets, only to be turned away by the counter staff who said the system showed violation records, preventing the vehicle from being tested. I had to rush to the traffic police station to settle the violations, pay the fines, and wait two days for the data to update. Now I’ve wised up—I check for violations using the 12123 app two weeks in advance and clear everything before the inspection. If you’re in a hurry, I suggest calculating the total fines first. Some bank branches can help pay fines faster, but it’s best not to wait until the inspection deadline to handle violations—delays can incur late fees. Bottom line: you can’t bypass violation records during the inspection, so it’s safest to deal with them early and properly.
