Can vehicle inspection be processed on 12123?

Not all vehicles can apply for the "inspection exemption mark" on the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. The scope of vehicles eligible for exemption includes: non-operational sedans and other small and mini passenger vehicles registered within 6 years, excluding vans, 7-seater and above vehicles, and vehicles that have not been registered for over 4 years since leaving the factory. Additionally, the vehicle must not have been involved in any injury-causing traffic accidents. Additional information is as follows: 1. Conditions: The traffic police department reminds that traffic violations of one's own motor vehicle processed through the Ministry of Public Security's online traffic management service platform must meet the following conditions: recorded by traffic monitoring equipment; and the sum of the penalty points for the pending violation and the driver's current accumulated points does not reach 12. 2. Self-service processing: Under the above conditions, drivers can also self-process non-point traffic violations of non-personal motor vehicles on the platform. In addition, for simple procedure penalties issued by traffic police on-site, drivers can also pay fines through the Ministry of Public Security's online traffic management service platform.
I've been driving for over a decade, let me share about vehicle inspections. The 12123 APP can't complete your annual vehicle inspection entirely online—you must physically drive to an inspection station for actual testing. It's an official app where you can schedule inspection times, choose locations, and view reports, which is super convenient. After downloading and registering, just select 'Inspection Appointment,' enter your license plate and details to skip the queue and save effort. But remember, even after APP booking, your vehicle must be driven to the site for professional equipment to check safety items like brakes, lights, and emissions. I advise owners to develop a habit: set reminders on 12123 in advance—don't wait until the deadline. Late inspections incur fines, penalty points, and compromise road safety. Routine maintenance should include checks on tire wear or battery aging, which the APP can't assist with. In short, 12123 simplifies scheduling, but the inspection core requires your physical participation.
