Does a car purchased in July 2016 need to undergo inspection this year?

[DiMary]

A new car purchased in 2016 will require an on-site inspection in 2022. The vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office within 3 months before the expiration of the current inspection validity period. If the vehicle is still within its first 6 years (as a new car), it qualifies for two exemption periods (requiring biennial inspection mark applications without physical inspection). The 6th and 8th years require actual on-site inspection. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle applies: annual inspections for vehicles aged 10-15 years, and semi-annual inspections for vehicles over 15 years. Reference: 1. Article 49 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": Vehicle owners may apply for the inspection compliance mark within three months before the expiration of the current inspection period. 2. Note: Before application, all traffic violations and accidents involving the vehicle must be resolved. The application requires completing a form and submitting the vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, vehicle tax payment/exemption proof, and motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate.
