Do family cars need annual inspections every year?

[LaKingston]

Family cars do not require annual inspections every year. The regulations for family car inspection periods are as follows: exempt from inspection within the first 6 years; for vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years old, inspections are required every two years; for vehicles over 10 years but less than 15 years old, annual inspections are required; for vehicles over 15 years old, inspections are required every 6 months. For vehicles that fail the inspection, repairs must be completed within a specified period. If the vehicle still fails after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate its license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not undergo inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or transfer ownership. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or have exceeded the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their files canceled, and they will be scrapped. Inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced; and whether they match the initial inspection records. Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety performance meet the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered; whether the driving license, license plates, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle; whether there have been any changes; and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed. Check whether the license plates, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the seating capacity of the driver's compartment are spray-painted in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the rear tailgate of trailers) is spray-painted with the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times as required; for individual or joint-operation vehicles, check whether the word "individual" is spray-painted on both sides of the door. The lettering must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special circumstances require approval from the vehicle management office). Conditions for vehicles exempt from inspection for 6 years: The vehicle must be non-commercial; the approved seating capacity must be 9 or fewer. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) are included in the exemption range; the vehicle type specified on the driving license must be: sedan (mini, small, medium, large), mini ordinary passenger vehicle, mini off-road passenger vehicle, small ordinary passenger vehicle, small off-road passenger vehicle, small special passenger vehicle; vehicles that have not been registered for more than 4 years since leaving the factory are excluded; vehicles must meet the above conditions and must not have been involved in any fatal traffic accidents during the exemption period.
