Can the 11-year scrapping of motorcycles in Jiangsu be extended?
3 Answers
Jiangsu motorcycles cannot extend the 11-year scrapping period. Here are the relevant details: Scrapping mileage: Light two-wheeled motorcycles, light three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles with a cumulative mileage of 100,000 kilometers, as well as regular three-wheeled motorcycles with a cumulative mileage of 80,000 kilometers. Usage period: Light two-wheeled motorcycles, light three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles used for 10 years, as well as regular three-wheeled motorcycles used for 9 years, must be scrapped. Regulations: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles that meet the scrapping standards are not allowed to be driven on the road. Scrapped large passenger vehicles, trucks, and other operational vehicles must be dismantled under the supervision of the traffic management department of the public security authorities.
When I used to handle vehicle-related matters at the DMV, I often encountered fellow riders asking about extending the scrappage period for motorcycles. Jiangsu follows the national standard, which mandates a compulsory scrappage period of 13 years for motorcycles. If you're referring to 11 years, it might be due to missing the annual inspection, leading to early scrappage. According to regulations, once the scrappage period is reached, there's absolutely no way to extend it. I've seen cases where owners were reluctant to part with their long-used bikes and tried applying for an extension, only to have their vehicle records locked in the DMV system. Remember, timely annual inspections are crucial—missing three consecutive inspection cycles means the bike must be scrapped, even if it hasn't reached the age limit. When scrapping, you can still receive a subsidy of a few hundred yuan. It's more practical to deal with it promptly and consider getting a new bike for peace of mind.
Having ridden motorcycles for over a decade, my experience is that they must be scrapped upon reaching the designated age limit. My first motorcycle was forcibly deregistered in its 13th year, and despite trying various methods at the time, nothing worked. The vehicle management office informed me that this is a mandatory regulation, and even if the bike is in good condition, no extensions are granted. Nowadays, I start preparing to replace my motorcycle a year and a half in advance, which also allows me to take advantage of trade-in subsidies. When riding in Jiangsu, it's crucial to adhere to the annual inspection schedule—missing three inspections will result in early scrapping. Rather than waiting until the last day, it's better to visit designated recycling points earlier for scrapping; the process is straightforward, and you can even receive some compensation.
