Can out-of-town vehicles undergo annual inspection in another location?
1 Answers
Except for large passenger buses and school buses, which cannot undergo annual inspection in another 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 buses. Applicants can directly undergo inspection in provinces other than the vehicle's registration location and apply for the inspection compliance label without needing to go through the entrustment inspection procedure. Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in another location and must return to the vehicle's registered location for inspection. Annual inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. For vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years old, inspection is required every two years; for vehicles over 10 years but less than 15 years old, annual inspection is required once a year; for vehicles over 15 years old, inspection is required every 6 months. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other models, can undergo regular inspection at any inspection station. Annual inspection considerations: 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 undergo 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 records deleted, and they will be scrapped.
