15-year-old vehicles require two annual inspections. Below are the specific details regarding annual inspections: Definition: An annual inspection refers to the safety examination of a vehicle conducted every year or every two years, encompassing comprehensive checks on components such as the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. The annual inspection is a routine review conducted on a yearly basis. Types of Annual Inspections: For non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, owners can directly proceed to the inspection station. Upon passing the inspection, the station will print an inspection certificate on the duplicate of the vehicle registration document and return it to the owner. For passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats and trucks, owners must first undergo an appearance inspection at the designated traffic police detachment pre-inspection point. Items checked include whether the seats meet requirements for passenger vehicles and whether trucks are properly affixed with reflective markings and rear/side protective devices as required. After passing the pre-inspection, owners can proceed to the inspection station with the pre-inspection certificate. Motorcycles, tricycles, and similar vehicles fall under the category of manual inspections. Owners must undergo manual inspection at the designated traffic police detachment pre-inspection point. Upon passing the inspection, they can proceed to the vehicle management window of the detachment to print the inspection certificate.
