Does a 2013 car that was just inspected in 2020 need inspection again in 2021?

A 2013 car inspected after the implementation of the new 2020 inspection regulations will receive a 2-year valid vehicle inspection certificate, so no inspection is required in 2021. Additional information: 1. Note: When performing vehicle inspection, make sure to renew insurance first before inspection. Vehicle inspections are based on the registration date, which often coincides with insurance expiration. If the insurance policy is due to expire within 15 days, renew it before inspection. 2. Required documents for obtaining the inspection certificate: "Motor Vehicle License Application Form", "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record", and "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Certificate". For company vehicles, bring the official seal and provide a letter of authorization, and the agent must present their original ID card.
My own car is from 2013 and passed the inspection smoothly last year in 2020. This year in 2021, there's no need for another inspection because the rule states that vehicles aged six to ten years only require inspection every two years. I checked the traffic regulations and confirmed this. It's a good opportunity to check the tires or wipers during this period to avoid minor issues. Just relax and drive in 2021, saving both worry and money. Remember to go on time next year in 2022, and don't delay too long to avoid fines. By the way, regular maintenance is crucial—older cars need more care, so don't just rely on annual inspections to get by.
