A car purchased in August 2016 does not require an annual inspection in 2021. Originally, non-commercial vehicles with 6 seats or fewer were exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, but this has been expanded to include vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, excluding vans. For vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years, non-commercial small passenger vehicles have their inspection frequency adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Here is some relevant information about annual inspections: Inspection items: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records on the driving license or registration file, or whose license plates or driving licenses are damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-made. Notes: The tint of sun protection or explosion-proof films on windows cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle must be visible from one meter away; this mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to passenger cars with 5 seats or fewer). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plate numbers, and the number of spring leaf plates cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in vans cannot be altered, and a fire extinguisher must be present.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Prado?

The wading depth of the Prado is 700mm. Related explanations are as follows: Introduction: The maximum wading depth refers to the maximum depth that can be safely crossed under safe driving conditions, also known as the safe depth.

Additional notes: Under full load, the Prado's minimum ground clearance is approximately 190mm. The 700mm maximum wading depth data for the Prado is a relatively theoretical value. It is recommended to wade in water around 600mm deep. Exceeding 700mm may result in water reaching connectors, sensors, and other electronic components.
