According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", non-commercial vehicles within 4 years do not require annual inspection, while commercial vehicles do. The documents required for vehicle annual inspection include the vehicle's driving license, valid compulsory insurance policy, the owner's ID card, and all traffic violation records must be cleared in advance. Non-commercial vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection within 6 years, only requiring an inspection mark application every two years; for vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years, inspection is required every two years, meaning private cars only need on-site inspection twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Private cars aged 10-15 years require annual inspection, and those over 15 years require inspection every six months. Commercial passenger vehicles within 5 years require annual inspection; those over 5 years require inspection every 6 months; trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles within 10 years require annual inspection, and those over 10 years require inspection every 6 months; motorcycles within 4 years require inspection every two years; those over 4 years require annual inspection. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", vehicle annual inspection mainly includes the following items: Appearance inspection: Mainly checks vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, tires, whether the lights are functioning normally, if there are any non-working lights, if the body color has been changed, and if the suspension has been modified; Emission test: Checks whether the exhaust emissions from the vehicle's tailpipe meet national standards during high-speed operation; On-site inspection: Primarily inspects the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis; Violation check: All traffic violation records of the vehicle must be cleared before the annual inspection to pass. Vehicle annual inspection can be done 90 days in advance but must not be overdue. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the consequences of overdue inspection are as follows: Vehicles that fail to undergo annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road; Driving an overdue vehicle will result in 3 penalty points and a fine of 200 yuan; In case of a traffic accident involving a vehicle that has not undergone annual inspection, the party involved bears full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate; Driving an overdue vehicle is considered illegal driving and may result in vehicle impoundment.
