Can the vehicle pass the inspection if the original owner has replaced the vehicle license?

The vehicle cannot pass the inspection if the original owner has replaced the vehicle license. After the replacement, the old vehicle license becomes invalid and cannot be used. If the party involved uses it, it constitutes an act of obtaining a replacement vehicle license by deception, which may result in a warning or a fine. Additional information: 1. According to Article 58 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles": If motor vehicle registration is obtained by deception, bribery, or other improper means, the public security traffic management department shall confiscate the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and vehicle license, and revoke the motor vehicle registration; the applicant shall not apply for motor vehicle registration within three years. For motor vehicles suspected of smuggling or theft, they shall be transferred to the relevant departments for handling. 2. Replacement and renewal of certificates and other services: If replacement or renewal of motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, vehicle licenses, and inspection qualification marks is processed by deception, bribery, or other improper means, the public security traffic management department shall issue a warning or impose a fine.
I've dealt with similar situations before. The previous owner replacing the vehicle license won't affect the annual inspection at all - the staff only checks the currently valid original vehicle license during inspection. But pay attention to these points: the replacement license must have correct information, don't forget to bring the owner's ID copy and compulsory insurance policy duplicate on inspection day. Also, I recommend checking beforehand if there are any outstanding traffic violations - once my neighbor had to make extra trips to the DMV because of unresolved violations left by the previous owner. By the way, the vehicle itself must meet requirements too, like headlight brightness and braking performance - these are the key items inspected during annual checks.
