Motorcycles can apply for scrapping. Vehicle scrapping process: Vehicle owners applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix their seal. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.
Motorcycles can definitely be scrapped, and I’ve had a similar experience myself. Once, my old motorcycle had been ridden for nearly ten years and was in terrible condition, so I went directly to the vehicle management office to scrap it: I brought my ID card, vehicle license, registration certificate, and other documents. After they checked the vehicle and found no major issues, it was recycled on the spot. The whole process took about half a day, and I received a scrapping certificate for deregistration, along with some subsidy money, which was quite cost-effective. I recommend scrapping old vehicles as early as possible to avoid failing subsequent annual inspections and getting fined, and it’s also more environmentally friendly, allowing parts to be recycled. Looking back now, I hesitated too long and ended up wasting money on repairs—it would have been better to act sooner. Actually, the process isn’t difficult; many people just don’t know the procedure. Checking local policies in advance or making a consultation call will get it done—don’t worry about the hassle!
