New cars require an annual inspection after two years. According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": Article 16: Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration. Specific details: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months. Freight vehicles and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; after 15 years, once every 6 months. Motorcycles within 6 years are exempt from inspection at inspection agencies. When periodic inspection is required, the owner can directly apply for an inspection compliance mark at the traffic management department of the public security bureau. Tractors and other motor vehicles must be inspected once a year. Operational motor vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the prescribed inspection period do not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first apply for a scrapping certificate (canceling the vehicle's file) at the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the transaction.
