Can I Keep a Car at Home Without Annual Inspection If It's Not Driven?
1 Answers
It is possible to keep a car at home without an annual inspection if it's not driven, but it is not recommended. Failing to undergo the annual inspection means the vehicle can no longer be driven on the road, and keeping it at home is equivalent to scrapping it. It is advisable to go through the formal scrapping process at an authorized institution. On one hand, you can receive a scrapping subsidy, and on the other hand, it will not affect future purchases of new vehicles or license plate registration. Regulations on vehicle annual inspection: Every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate must undergo an annual inspection. Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate the license plate and registration, prohibiting further driving. Vehicles that do not participate in the annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to be driven on the road or transferred to another jurisdiction. If a motor vehicle driven on the road has not undergone the required safety technical inspection, the traffic police department will impound the vehicle, impose a fine on the driver, and deduct 3 points from their license. Methods for scrapping a vehicle: Prepare the "Motor Vehicle Registration Form," "Application for Motor Vehicle Suspension, Resumption/Cancellation of Registration," "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" (if not already obtained), and the motor vehicle driving license, then submit an application to the public security authorities to complete the vehicle scrapping procedures. On the day of acceptance, the public security authorities will issue the "Motor Vehicle Scrapping Certificate" to the owner of the scrapped vehicle and instruct them to sell the scrapped vehicle to a designated recycling company.
