Do New Cars Need to Undergo Inspection?
2 Answers
After purchasing a new car, it is necessary to visit the motor vehicle inspection station. Vehicles exempt from inspection do not need to undergo on-site inspection. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle annual inspection: Overview: Vehicle annual inspection refers to the annual examination of vehicles that have already obtained formal license plates and registration certificates, conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." The purpose is to inspect the main technical conditions of the vehicle, urge the strengthening of vehicle maintenance, ensure the vehicle is always in good condition, and guarantee driving safety. Others: For passenger transport vehicles, inspections are conducted once a year within the first 5 years. After exceeding 5 years, inspections are conducted every 6 months. For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles, inspections are conducted once a year within the first 10 years. After exceeding 10 years, inspections are conducted every 6 months. The annual inspection of motor vehicles is divided into initial annual inspection and regular annual inspection.
I just bought a new car last month. On the day of pickup, the salesperson specifically reminded me that new cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years now. You only need to complete the initial registration procedure when getting the license plate, which saves the hassle of annual queues. New cars undergo strict quality checks before leaving the factory, with brand-new parts and no wear issues, making additional inspections unnecessary for the first few years—saving both time and money. However, don’t slack on maintenance; regularly checking tire and brake fluid conditions adds peace of mind, as safe driving is the bottom line. New car owners might feel nervous at first, but the exemption policy is truly considerate. It reminds me of last year when I worried for my colleague’s time-consuming and stressful old car inspection. Beginners should enjoy this convenience.
