Can motor vehicles undergo annual inspection in a different location?
1 Answers
Except for large passenger buses and school buses, which cannot undergo annual inspection in a different location, all other vehicles can be inspected elsewhere. Currently, the traffic management authorities have fully implemented cross-provincial annual inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized passenger vehicles. Applicants can directly undergo the inspection in provinces other than where the vehicle is registered and obtain the inspection compliance mark without needing to apply for an inspection delegation procedure. Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in a different location and must return to the vehicle's registration location for inspection. Annual inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. After 6 years but less than 10 years, they must be inspected every two years; after 10 years but less than 15 years, they must be inspected annually; after 15 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspections at any inspection station. Annual inspection precautions: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not participate in the annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or transfer registration. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or have exceeded the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their files canceled, and they will be scrapped.
