Do sedans require biannual inspections after 15 years?
1 Answers
Private vehicles that have reached 15 years of age require biannual inspections. Under the new vehicle inspection policy, private cars do not need inspections within the first 6 years. Between 6 to 10 years, only two inspections are required, specifically at the 6-year and 8-year marks. For vehicles aged between 10 to 15 years, annual inspections are mandatory. Once a vehicle exceeds 15 years, it must undergo inspections every six months, equivalent to biannual inspections, until it reaches 600,000 kilometers, at which point it will be scrapped. Information regarding vehicle inspections: Consequences of expired inspections: Vehicles that fail to undergo inspections on time are not allowed on the road; driving an uninspected vehicle results in a 3-point penalty and a fine; if an uninspected vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the party responsible will bear full or primary liability, and the insurance company will not provide compensation. Relevant regulations: According to the 'Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles,' vehicles that fail to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of their inspection validity period will be mandatorily scrapped.
