Do I Need to Drive the Car for New Vehicle Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
New vehicles need to be driven for annual inspection. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. After 6 years but less than 10 years, they must be inspected every two years; after 10 years but less than 15 years, they must be inspected annually; after 15 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspections at any inspection station. Inspection precautions: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and registration certificates, prohibiting further use. 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 exceed the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates and registration certificates will be revoked, with their files canceled and the vehicles scrapped.
