Can Vehicle Inspection Be Conducted on Saturdays and Sundays?
1 Answers
Vehicle inspection cannot be conducted on Saturdays and Sundays as the vehicle management offices are closed on weekends. Generally, the working hours of vehicle management offices are from Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM (excluding statutory holidays). The vehicle inspection cycle is calculated from the date of vehicle registration, and the next inspection date will be clearly noted on the supplementary page of the driving license. Applications for inspection can be submitted within three months prior to the annual inspection date. Additionally, the 6-year exemption for new vehicles does not mean exemption from annual inspection; it refers to the exemption from the on-site inspection process at the testing station. Safety technical inspection schedule: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once every year; and after 15 years, twice every year. Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months. Vehicle annual inspection time: The annual inspection time is determined based on the date of vehicle registration. For example, if the initial registration date on the driving license is June 2007, the annual inspection will be due every June. According to Article 40 of the newly revised "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," the vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office within three months before the expiration of the inspection validity period. This means that vehicles due for inspection in June can undergo the inspection in April, May, or June.
