Do small cars exempt from inspection for six years need to go through the inspection in the sixth year?
1 Answers
Yes, vehicles in their sixth year need to undergo the annual inspection. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Exemption from inspection: The six-year exemption applies to non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats), which are exempt from on-site inspections within six years. However, owners must regularly apply for the annual inspection sticker. In the second and fourth years after purchasing a new car, owners need to bring the vehicle registration certificate and valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office to apply for the inspection sticker. Alternatively, they can apply for the annual inspection sticker online and choose to have it delivered by courier. 2. Mandatory scrapping: Before the sixth-year inspection expires, owners must take the vehicle to an inspection station for on-site testing. After passing the inspection, they can receive the annual inspection sticker. Traffic police departments specifically remind that if a vehicle fails to obtain the inspection sticker within three consecutive inspection cycles after the inspection validity period expires, it should be mandatorily scrapped.
