Can Non-Operational Vehicles Convert Back to Operational Vehicles?

[VonJake]

Operational vehicles can be converted to non-operational. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": Article 12 states that when an operational motor vehicle is changed to a non-operational motor vehicle or vice versa, or when the domicile of the motor vehicle owner moves out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, an application for registration change must be submitted to the vehicle management office after the change, along with the required legal certificates and documents. More details are as follows: Introduction: The conversion from operational to non-operational, as the name suggests, refers to changing an operational vehicle to a non-operational one. Commonly referred to as "Ying Zhuan Fei," it mainly involves retired taxis being converted to local license plates. After conversion, the service life remains 8 years, with mandatory scrapping 8 years from the date of manufacture, no further annual inspections, and no extension of the scrapping period. Note: Do not assume that taxis converted to non-operational and operational vehicles converted to non-operational are the same as non-operational vehicles—these are entirely different concepts. For example, take a car registered in 1999: if it is non-operational, the mandatory scrapping deadline would be 2099, effectively an indefinite period; if it is a taxi converted to non-operational, the mandatory scrapping deadline would be 2007.
