Do new cars require annual inspection?
1 Answers
No. New cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, but you need to visit the vehicle management office every 2 years to apply for stickers and labels. The normal annual inspection process involves going to a testing station for vehicle checks (lights, tires, emissions, etc.), and then obtaining the inspection label after the vehicle passes. However, new cars benefit from the "6-year exemption" policy, which essentially means you can skip the vehicle inspection part and directly apply for the inspection label. Here are some relevant details: Tractors and other motor vehicles must be inspected once a year. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified period do not need to repeat the inspection. Vehicles that exceed the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can still be used. For transactions, you can first go to the vehicle management office to obtain a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's records) and then proceed with the transaction. Inspection notes: For non-commercial small and mini passenger cars (excluding vans) over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo on-site inspection twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. After 15 years, the rules remain unchanged, requiring inspection every six months.
