According to regulations, a new car definitely requires an annual inspection in the second year. The standard procedure for an annual inspection involves taking the vehicle to an inspection station for a check-up, and after passing the inspection, obtaining the inspection label. However, there is a 6-year exemption policy, which essentially means that the vehicle inspection part is waived, and you can directly apply for the inspection label. Below is more information about annual inspections: 1. Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months after 5 years. 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months after 10 years. 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years. After 6 years but before 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every 2 years. This means private cars only need to undergo on-site inspections twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years.
