Can Vehicle Inspection Be Conducted During National Day Holiday?
2 Answers
Generally, vehicle annual inspections cannot be conducted in most places during the National Day holiday. However, some regions may offer inspection services during the holiday to alleviate inconvenience for working individuals. Specific arrangements should be confirmed with the local vehicle management offices. For non-commercial vehicles such as passenger cars: New vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, after which an annual inspection is required. The specific month can be referenced from the registration date on the vehicle license. For non-commercial vehicles over 15 years old: Inspections are required every six months. For commercial passenger vehicles: Annual inspections are required, with vehicles over 15 years old requiring inspections every six months. For large commercial passenger vehicles and trucks: Vehicles under 10 years old require annual inspections, while those over 10 years old require inspections every six months.
Last year during the National Day holiday, I wanted to get my vehicle inspected. When I drove to the inspection station, I found the gate closed and had to make a wasted trip, which was quite frustrating. Later, I learned that almost all vehicle inspection stations are closed during the National Day holiday, as the staff also need time to spend with their families. But don't worry, some large stations in big cities might open for half a day during the last two days of the holiday. It's recommended to call ahead or check the official WeChat public account to confirm the business hours. It's best to handle the inspection two weeks in advance or go early on the first day after the holiday to avoid long queues. Don't forget to check if your vehicle is in normal condition and bring your vehicle license and insurance policy to avoid wasting time. Safe driving is the top priority, and failing to inspect your vehicle on time may result in points deduction and fines.
