Does a car need to go through the inspection line in its sixth year?

Yes, a car needs to undergo on-site inspection in its sixth year. New cars within 6 years are exempt from on-site inspection and can directly obtain the inspection compliance mark. However, for cars older than 6 years (including 6 years), an annual inspection is required, which involves taking the vehicle for testing. Below are the relevant regulations: 1. Trial implementation of 6-year exemption from inspection for non-operational passenger vehicles. Starting from September 1, 2014, non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of registration are exempt from inspection. 2. For non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) registered within 6 years, when requiring biennial periodic inspection, the vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection mark by providing the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate, without the need for safety technical inspection at an inspection institution. 3. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all road traffic violations and accident liabilities related to the vehicle. However, if the vehicle has been involved in an accident causing casualties, it must still be inspected according to the original cycle. For vehicles registered for more than 6 years (including 6 years), an annual inspection is still required as per regulations; for those over 15 years (including 15 years), two inspections per year are required as per regulations.
