Does a car purchased in August 2016 need an annual inspection in 2021?
1 Answers
A car purchased in August 2016 does not require an annual inspection in 2021. Originally, non-commercial vehicles with 6 seats or fewer were exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. This exemption has now been expanded to include vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, excluding vans. For vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years, non-commercial small passenger vehicles have their inspection frequency adjusted from once a year to once every 2 years. Here is some relevant information about annual inspections: Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records on the driving license or registration files, or those with damaged, incomplete, illegible license plates or driving licenses, or those with self-made license plates. Notes: The exterior of the vehicle cannot be modified. The color of sunshade or explosion-proof films on windows cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle should be visible from one meter away; this mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to passenger cars with 5 seats or fewer). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plates. The number of spring leaves cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in vans cannot be altered, and a fire extinguisher must be present.
