No need to go for vehicle inspection. For motor vehicles exempt from on-site inspection, applying for the exemption mark means the annual vehicle inspection has been completed, and no separate inspection procedures are required. Simply affix the annual inspection sticker on the vehicle for normal use without any impact. Below is an introduction to the time frame for motor vehicles exempt from on-site inspection and the required documents. Time frame for motor vehicles exempt from on-site inspection: The exemption period for motor vehicles is during the second and fourth years of vehicle use. After this period, on-site inspection is required. If the inspection is not completed on time, the motor vehicle cannot be used normally. If the vehicle fails to complete inspection for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped. Documents required for motor vehicle inspection: Whether for on-site or non-on-site inspection, the following documents must be carried: the vehicle's driving license, the current year's compulsory traffic insurance policy, the ID card or a copy of the vehicle owner, along with handling any outstanding traffic violations or unresolved traffic accidents involving the motor vehicle.

The new car policies nowadays are quite convenient. I bought a car the year before last, and this year I applied for the exemption inspection label online myself. Exemption inspection means that new cars within 6 years don’t need to be driven to the inspection station for queued checks, but you still have to remember to apply for this label every two years. You still need to pay attention to safety when driving, and you can’t slack off on vehicle maintenance just because of the exemption inspection. Routine checks like tires, brakes, and lights are essential, especially for friends who frequently drive long distances—they should be extra mindful of their car’s condition. Also, don’t forget to handle traffic violations and compulsory traffic insurance on time, as these are linked to the annual inspection. If it’s been over 6 years, then you’ll have to dutifully drive to the inspection site for an on-site test.

Recently helped my neighbor uncle with the exemption from inspection process. Actually, the inspection-exempt label replaces the previous mandatory biennial vehicle inspection procedure at testing stations, but it only applies to non-commercial passenger vehicles within 6 years of registration. After applying, you don't need to go to the inspection station, but you must ensure the vehicle hasn't been involved in any traffic accidents causing casualties. It's recommended that owners perform quarterly self-checks on basic items like brake lights and tire tread depth - especially wiper blades and lighting systems which are particularly crucial during rainy seasons. For vehicles over 6 years old or with major repair records, mandatory periodic inspections at testing stations are required, otherwise traffic police may impose penalty points and fines if caught.

My car has just turned three years old, and last week I completed the exemption-from-inspection application on the 12123 APP. As long as I submitted the compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax certificates as required, the electronic label was directly synchronized to the system upon approval, eliminating the need to visit the vehicle management office. However, it's important to note that exemption from inspection doesn't mean neglecting the car—routine maintenance like oil and filter changes must still be done. A special reminder for owners who have modified their rims or raised the chassis: such modifications may disqualify you from the exemption policy, so it's advisable to consult the local vehicle management office in advance.
