Can vehicle inspection be done on a mobile phone?

Vehicle inspection cannot be conducted on a mobile phone. You can only schedule the annual inspection time via mobile, but the actual inspection process must be carried out at a testing station. Vehicle Annual Inspection Process: This refers to the mandatory annual inspection procedure for motor vehicles. It is a required examination for all vehicles, equivalent to a physical check-up for the vehicle. The purpose is to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents, commonly referred to as vehicle inspection. Inspection Time: Vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location up to three months before the expiration of the vehicle's inspection validity period (for cars registered after September 2012, the inspection interval is every six years). The inspection should be scheduled within three months before the annual registration date on the vehicle's license.

To be honest, with rapid technological advancements nowadays, handling a significant portion of vehicle inspection procedures on mobile phones is indeed possible in some areas. As someone who frequently uses mobile apps, I've noticed that mini-programs on platforms like Alipay or WeChat offer appointment services in many cities. You can directly upload photos of your vehicle documents, select a time slot at the nearest inspection station, and even pay the annual inspection fees via the app. However, don't get it wrong—core procedures like on-site testing for lights, brakes, etc., still require you to drive to the inspection site. The mobile app mainly helps save you from tedious steps like queuing. I'd recommend friends who travel frequently to give it a try—it can save you a lot of hassle, but don't expect to complete the entire process from home.

I've been driving for over a decade and always dreaded the long queues during vehicle inspections. The mobile app features are quite practical, like downloading annual inspection forms and scheduling appointments, saving a lot of wasted time. After visiting the inspection station, I found the app can also check progress and results reports. But the key thing to remember: mobile apps can't replace essential safety inspection steps, such as chassis number verification or emissions testing. Overall, using a phone can make things more convenient and faster, but don't rely on it to handle everything—rules must be strictly followed.

At my age, it's better to just go to the inspection station for vehicle checks honestly. Mobile apps can at most help with checking the process or filling out forms and making appointments in advance, but you can't count on them to replace an engineer's on-site inspection of vehicle details. My son taught me to use an app a few times, which saved me some queuing hassle, but key items like engine inspections still require driving there in person. To be honest, being cautious with new things isn't wrong, to avoid messing up the procedures.
