Do Light Motorcycles Require Annual Inspection?

[RowanRose]

Light motorcycles require annual inspection. Generally, any licensed motorcycle needs to undergo inspection every two years. After four years of use, motorcycles must be inspected annually. Below are the key points for motorcycle annual inspection: Required Documents for Motorcycle Inspection: Motorcycle, motorcycle license (both original and copy), valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, vehicle and vessel tax receipt, ID card and its copy. For company-owned vehicles, the company's business license and the agent's identification are required. Motorcycle Inspection Items: Check if the electric horn's volume is normal. Inspect the motorcycle's lighting system (headlights, turn signals, license plate lights, parking lights, and rearview lights) for completeness and functionality. Verify the reliability of the braking system, ensuring no deviation occurs and the braking distance meets requirements.

After riding a moped for a few years, I realized that annual inspections are indeed required. According to regulations, all nationally registered motor vehicles, including mopeds under 50cc, must undergo yearly checks. The inspection mainly covers the braking system, lights, steering, and exhaust emissions to ensure road safety. The process is quite simple: find a nearby inspection station or designated location, bring your vehicle registration and compulsory insurance proof, and pay a fee usually ranging from 50 to 100 yuan. After waiting about half an hour, you'll receive the inspection pass sticker. Don’t underestimate this—last year I neglected it and got pulled over by traffic police, fined 200 yuan with points deducted. Later, the inspection revealed brake issues, which could have been fixed earlier to save big money. I recommend going on time every year—don’t slack off. Safety first, and it avoids trouble too.

As a light motorcycle user, I believe annual inspections are necessary. They are not just a legal requirement but also a form of self-protection. Every time I ride my bike for inspection, the staff checks details like tire wear and chain tension, helping me spot minor issues. For example, last time they replaced a new lamp cover, preventing potential nighttime hazards. The inspection fee is affordable, costing just a few dozen yuan, while skipping it could lead to more expensive repairs or accidents. My friend, who lives in the suburbs, finds the inspection station too far from home, so he schedules mobile services for on-site checks, saving time and hassle. Overall, once it becomes a habit, annual inspections are not a burden but rather a peace of mind.

I've had a moped for many years, and from experience, it must undergo an annual inspection. Each process takes about 10 minutes, focusing on engine emissions and safety components. Skipping the inspection might lead to insurance claim rejections, and the losses could be greater in case of an accident. I've found that regular inspections can also extend the moped's lifespan and make maintenance cheaper. Don't make excuses to delay it.
