Does a motor vehicle need to undergo an inspection in its sixth year?

A motor vehicle needs to undergo an inspection in its sixth year. New vehicles within the first 6 years do not require an on-site inspection and can directly obtain the inspection compliance label. However, vehicles older than 6 years (including the sixth year) must undergo an annual inspection, which requires driving the vehicle to the inspection station. Below are the relevant regulations: 1. Trial exemption from inspection for non-operational passenger vehicles within 6 years. Starting from September 1, 2014, non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of registration are exempt from inspection. 2. For non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of registration, during the biennial periodic inspection, the vehicle owner can directly apply for the inspection label from the traffic management department of the public security authority by providing proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, without needing to undergo a safety technical inspection at an inspection station. 3. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. However, if the vehicle has been involved in an accident resulting in casualties, it must still be inspected according to the original inspection cycle. For vehicles registered for more than 6 years (including the sixth year), an annual inspection is still required; for vehicles older than 15 years (including the 15th year), two annual inspections are required.
