Does a car purchased in 2014 need an annual inspection in 2021?
1 Answers
For the 6-year exemption policy, the time is calculated from the year of purchase. The first 5 years are exempt from on-site vehicle inspection, but it is required to apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office every two years. Starting from the 6th year, an on-site annual inspection is required. A car purchased in 2014 will be in its 8th year by 2021, which is beyond the exemption period, so it needs an on-site annual inspection. Six-year exemption policy details: Content: Non-operational large, small, and mini (under 7 seats) sedans, as well as non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles registered within 6 years, enjoy the 6-year exemption policy. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) are included in the exemption scope. Note: Vehicles within the exemption scope are exempt from on-site inspection within 6 years, but it is required to bring the vehicle license, ID card, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office every two years to apply for the inspection compliance mark.
