A new car involved in an accident does not need to undergo an inspection line check for annual inspection. Annual inspection schedule for vehicles: After the implementation of the new vehicle inspection regulations, small cars aged between 6 and 10 years are inspected every 2 years. At the 6th and 8th year marks, the vehicle must undergo an inspection line check. For private cars older than 10 years, the original inspection cycle still applies, meaning vehicles aged between 10 and 15 years are inspected once a year, and those older than 15 years are inspected every six months. During the annual inspection, the vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle registration office within 3 months before the expiration of the current inspection validity period. Annual inspection items: Appearance inspection: Take the appearance inspection form to the appearance station. First, verify relevant documents and check if the third-party insurance (compulsory insurance) is still valid. Only after document verification is completed will the appearance inspection begin. This inspection mainly checks for any damage to lights, whether the vehicle's exterior conforms to its original state, any modifications to the suspension, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. Inspection line check: The inspection line is responsible for checking the brakes, headlights (high beam), chassis, etc. The process takes about 5-10 minutes. After the vehicle is driven off the line, a computer-printed form is issued, listing items such as braking, lights, horn, etc. Qualified items are marked with "0", while unqualified items are marked with "X".
