Do small cars require annual inspections after 6 years?
1 Answers
Whether a small car requires an annual inspection after 6 years depends on the specific situation: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. After 6 years but less than 10 years, they require inspection every two years; after 10 years but less than 15 years, they require an annual inspection; after 15 years, they require inspection every 6 months. Commercial passenger vehicles require an annual inspection within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they require inspection every 6 months. Inspection requirements for other vehicles: Trucks and large or medium non-commercial passenger vehicles require an annual inspection within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they require inspection every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspections at any testing facility. Important notes about vehicle inspections: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further operation. Vehicles that do not undergo inspection without valid reasons or fail the inspection are not allowed to operate on the road or transfer ownership. Vehicles that meet the criteria for scrapping or exceed the prescribed usage period will not be inspected, and their license plates and registration records will be revoked, leading to scrapping.
