Does a car registered in June 2012 require an annual inspection in 2021?

2021 does not require an annual inspection, but 2022 does. The annual inspection must be completed before June 2022 for the vehicle to be legally driven. The inspection is an on-site inspection and must be conducted at the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. Required documents include the compulsory traffic insurance policy and the vehicle registration certificate. Details are as follows: 1. Inspection cycle: The latest for an annual inspection is three cycles. If the vehicle is not inspected for three consecutive cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped by the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. Vehicles that are forcibly scrapped cannot be driven on the road, and doing so is illegal. 2. Inspection methods: There are two methods for vehicle annual inspection. The first method is through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123," which is only applicable to vehicles exempt from on-site inspection and must be completed within the inspection period. The second method is on-site inspection, which can be done at the local vehicle management office or vehicle inspection station.

I remember the car was registered in June 2012, so by 2021 it will be exactly 9 years old. According to current regulations, new cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years and only need to receive the inspection exemption sticker, but from 7 to 10 years, they must undergo annual on-site inspections for annual review. In your case, you definitely need to do it in 2021. Arrange it one month in advance, check the date on the driving license to confirm, and bring your ID card and insurance policy to the inspection station. Don’t save this little time—older cars are prone to issues like aging lights and brakes, and the annual inspection is a key part of safety checks. Nowadays, the inspection process is much faster, and many places support APP appointments to save time and effort. After the inspection, don’t forget to affix the compliance sticker—safety first, don’t neglect it.

I've driven a car of similar age. A vehicle registered in June 2012 would be 9 years old by 2021 and definitely requires an annual inspection. New cars basically don't need inspection for the first 6 years, but after that you'll have to visit the inspection station every year. I suggest checking the registration date carefully to avoid getting the month wrong. Before the inspection, spend some time checking the lights and brakes yourself. The exhaust is prone to exceeding standards, so it's best to clean it beforehand. Last time, I forgot about the exhaust part and failed the inspection, which wasted time. Only afterward did I realize the importance of safety. Timely annual inspections prevent accidents, save money, and give peace of mind.

A car registered in June 2012 requires an annual inspection in 2021. New cars have more lenient requirements in the first few years, but after 6 years, they must be inspected annually. At 9 years old, the vehicle needs to undergo an on-site inspection for lights, tires, brakes, etc. The inspection fee is not high—just prepare the necessary documents and make an appointment to avoid long queues. Don't delay; ensure safety and compliance.

A car registered in June 2012 needs annual inspection in 2021. At 9 years old, falling within the 7 to 10-year range, yearly inspection is mandatory. Specific steps: Confirm the date on the vehicle license, prepare documents, check inspection stations in advance, schedule an appointment, self-inspect the car's condition to avoid issues, pass inspection to get the sticker promptly for convenience. Safe driving is fundamental—never overlook it.

My friend forgot to have his 2011 car inspected and had a minor accident, which taught him a lesson. Your car registered in June 2012 will be 9 years old in 2021 and needs annual inspections to ensure safety. New cars are hassle-free for the first 6 years, but after 7 years, the rules tighten—don’t take chances. Check lights and brakes in advance, book an appointment at the inspection station, and ensure a smooth process without delays.
