Does a car purchased in 2017 need an annual inspection in 2021?

[DeJaxon]

No, a car purchased in 2017 will be in its fourth year by 2021, which still falls within the 6-year exemption period for inspections. Therefore, you only need to apply for the inspection compliance mark. Here is more information about vehicle annual inspections: Note 1: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years but less than 10 years old will have their inspection cycle relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Note 2: For large operational passenger vehicles and trucks, if the vehicle is within 10 years of age, an annual inspection is required. After 10 years, the inspection becomes semi-annual.
