Does a 2014 vehicle require annual inspection in 2021?
3 Answers
A 2014 vehicle does not require annual inspection procedures in 2021. Below are the specific details about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Inspection for 2014 vehicles: According to motor vehicle inspection regulations, on-road testing will be conducted in 2022, and another on-road testing in 2024. 2. After ten years: Following the six-year exemption from on-road testing policy for motor vehicles, from the tenth year of use, on-road testing is required every two years. Here is extended information about the scrapping dates for non-operational small vehicles: 1. No scrapping date: Non-operational small vehicles do not have a scrapping date. As long as the motor vehicle can pass normal annual inspections, it can continue to be used. 2. Guided scrapping: When the vehicle's mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, it will be guided for scrapping. Guided scrapping is not equivalent to mandatory scrapping; it should be based on the vehicle owner's willingness and cannot be forced.
My old car was also purchased in 2014, and this age is quite significant. A car registered seven years ago will reach its 7th anniversary in 2021, which means it must undergo an on-site inspection. Remember, the car's age is calculated from the registration date on the certificate, not the month you bought it. From my experience, booking an inspection station two months in advance is the most hassle-free. Just bring your compulsory traffic insurance policy and vehicle license, and it'll be done in half an hour. A reminder: make sure to clear all traffic violations before going, or you'll make a wasted trip. By the way, here's a pitfall to watch out for: if you've modified your headlights, remember to restore them to their original condition first. Last year, even my neighbor had to revert his wheel color modification when asked.
As an office worker who has actually gone through the process: A 2014 vehicle must undergo annual inspection in 2021. Our car enjoyed the online exemption from inspection in its sixth year (2020), but the seventh year required a physical inspection at the testing station. I recommend going early on weekends when it's least crowded. Last time, I only spent 268 yuan at an auto parts city inspection station, which included a car wash. Before heading out, check your lights and brakes yourself, and avoid dark tint on the rear window to prevent the hassle of having to remove it on the spot. Nowadays, inspection stations are conveniently connected online, though I've never had to use the warning triangle or reflective vest that came with the car.
