Do new vehicles need to obtain an annual inspection sticker every year?

New vehicles do not need to obtain an annual inspection sticker every year. According to relevant national regulations, the environmental protection inspection sticker and the annual inspection sticker have been combined into one, so vehicle owners no longer need to obtain a separate environmental protection qualification sticker. Here is extended information about motor vehicle safety technical inspections: 1. For passenger vehicles used for commercial purposes, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspections are required every 6 months. 2. For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspections are required every 6 months. 3. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once every 2 years within the first 6 years. After 6 years, inspections are required once a year; after 15 years, inspections are required every 6 months. 4. Motorcycles within the first 6 years are exempt from inspections at inspection agencies. When periodic inspections are required, the vehicle owner can directly apply for an inspection qualification sticker at the traffic management department of the public security bureau. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles require inspections once a year. If a commercial motor vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the prescribed inspection period, it does not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections. 6. Vehicles that have exceeded their scrappage age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. If you want to sell such a vehicle, you can first apply for a scrappage certificate at the vehicle management office (to deregister the vehicle's file) and then proceed with the sale.
