Do small cars within 6 years need annual inspection?
1 Answers
Small cars within 6 years do not require annual inspection. The 6-year new car exemption from inspection does not include the 6th year, when an on-site inspection is required. The 6-year exemption only means no on-site inspection is needed, but the owner must collect the inspection mark from the traffic management department every 2 years. Vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption include non-operational large, small, and mini cars, as well as non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles. If the vehicle does not fall into these categories, it must undergo on-site inspection on time. Vehicle annual inspection, also known as motor vehicle inspection, varies in inspection items and scope depending on the vehicle's usage. According to the definition of motor vehicle inspection institutions under the qualification and capability evaluation of inspection and testing institutions, motor vehicle inspection includes three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection.
