Does a new car need an annual inspection after two years?

A new car requires an annual inspection after two years. Here are the precautions for the annual inspection of a new car: 1. Keep it clean: Wash the car before the annual inspection to keep the exterior clean. It is best to clean the engine area under the hood to ensure the staff can clearly see the engine number and chassis number. 2. Pay attention to stickers: Stickers on the front windshield can obstruct the driver's view. Large decorative stickers on the body or dazzling club logos are considered unauthorized modifications to the vehicle's appearance and will not pass the annual inspection. 3. Regular maintenance: Regular maintenance is also crucial. Many owners neglect maintenance, leading to excessive exhaust emissions.

My car has just been driven for two full years, and I just handled the annual inspection a few days ago. According to current traffic regulations, new cars don’t need to undergo an on-site inspection at the testing station for the first six years, but every two years instead, saving the hassle of queuing and the trouble of dealing with the car. I easily applied for the inspection label on the Traffic Management 12123 app, and it took less than five minutes to complete. The whole process was super convenient, especially for someone like me who travels frequently for work, as it saves a lot of time. However, it’s important to apply for the label on time; otherwise, you’ll be fined for driving without it. I also make it a habit to check the car lights and tire pressure regularly to ensure driving safety. In short, the policy optimization is indeed user-friendly—no need to worry about on-site inspections for two-year-old cars, just make sure to complete the procedures on time.

I recently bought a new car, and a friend reminded me to get it inspected when it reached two years old. However, after checking the policy, I found that new cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, requiring only an application for the inspection exemption sticker every two years. For office workers like me, it can be done in just a few minutes through Alipay or WeChat mini-programs as long as all the required documents are ready, saving both time and effort. I recommend handling it before the deadline to avoid fines or penalty points. By the way, this is a good time to check basic vehicle conditions, such as the braking and steering systems—safety comes first. The policy is quite user-friendly and fits well with modern fast-paced lifestyles.

As someone who follows automotive regulations, let me tell you whether new cars need an inspection after two years: Current Chinese regulations stipulate that non-commercial small passenger vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, but must apply for an inspection decal every two years. This can be done through the vehicle management office or online platforms such as the Traffic Management 12123 app. The procedure is simple, requiring the vehicle license and a copy of the insurance policy. New cars are usually in good condition, but don't forget to apply for the decal to avoid fines. It's recommended to handle this together with your car insurance renewal for greater efficiency.
