Does a 6-year-old vehicle require an on-site annual inspection?
1 Answers
An on-site inspection is required. According to the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Ordinance, vehicles that have been in use for six years must undergo an on-site inspection procedure in the sixth year. This can be processed at the local vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. The annual inspection of motor vehicles can be conducted up to three months in advance, which is considered normal. Below is additional information: On-site inspection: The on-site inspection procedure for motor vehicles must be processed at the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority, as these are the only places authorized to handle such procedures. Required documents for the on-site inspection include the vehicle's registration certificate, a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the original or a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card. Consequences of not inspecting the vehicle: If a motor vehicle fails to undergo the annual inspection for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be subject to mandatory scrapping. Vehicles that are mandatorily scrapped are not permitted to be driven on the road. Note that three inspection cycles do not necessarily equate to three years; it could be one and a half years, three years, or six years, depending on the specific circumstances.
