Does a 2013 car still need inspection in 2021?
1 Answers
A vehicle registered in January 2013 that underwent annual inspection in 2020 will still require inspection before the validity period expires in 2021. The new inspection regulations, effective from November 20, 2020, allow vehicles inspected within ten years to receive a 2-year valid motor vehicle inspection certificate. Relevant information is as follows: New Inspection Policy: The policy expands the scope of motor vehicle exemption from inspection. In addition to the existing exemption for non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer within 6 years, it now includes non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding vans) within 6 years. For non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles (excluding vans) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from annually to once every two years. Additional Information: Vehicle owners can apply for an inspection certificate up to three months before the expiration of the current inspection period at the local vehicle management office. Before applying, all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle must be resolved.
