Can motor vehicles undergo annual inspection in a different location?
1 Answers
Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in a different location and must return to the vehicle's registration place for inspection. Other motor vehicles can undergo annual inspection in a different location. Currently, the traffic management authorities have fully implemented cross-province inspection for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly inspect their vehicles in provinces other than the vehicle's registration place and apply for the inspection compliance mark without needing to go through the entrustment inspection procedure. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their attachments are clean, complete, and functional; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records. Inspect whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety performance meet the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Check whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or reconstructed; whether the driving license, license plate, and all records in the vehicle file match the actual condition of the vehicle; whether there are any changes; and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed. Check whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or unclear, and whether they need replacement. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the maximum seating capacity in the cab are printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, check whether the rear fender (including the trailer's rear fender) has the vehicle number printed at 2~3 times the standard size on the outside as required. For individually or jointly operated vehicles, check whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door. The characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).
