Does a car purchased in 2013 require an annual inspection in 2021?
1 Answers
A car purchased in 2013 does not require an annual inspection in 2021 if it underwent inspection in 2020. After the implementation of the new inspection policy on November 20, 2020, vehicles that have undergone inspection can receive a motor vehicle inspection certificate valid for two years in accordance with the regulations. The new inspection rules include 7 to 9-seater non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) within the exemption range for the first six years. According to the new rules, for non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over six years but less than ten years old, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. When conducting an annual vehicle inspection, it is necessary to renew the insurance before participating in the inspection. Vehicle inspections are based on the registration date, and the inspection time often coincides with the insurance expiration date. If the insurance policy is due to expire within 15 days, it is essential to renew the insurance before the inspection. Documents required when applying for the inspection certificate: "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form," "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form," and "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Certificate." For company vehicles, please bring the company seal during the inspection and provide a power of attorney. The agent should present the original ID card. Notes: Required documents: vehicle license, compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance policy (copy), inspector's ID card, triangular warning sign, and fire extinguisher. (Vehicle violations must be resolved, and no modifications are allowed on the vehicle body.) The compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance policy consists of two pages: the original and the copy. The copy must be submitted during the inspection and will be retained by the inspection agency. The ID card required is that of the person driving the vehicle for inspection.
