Does a new car need an annual inspection in the third year?

[Eleanor]

A new car does not require an annual inspection in the third year; it only needs an inspection in the sixth year. Although annual inspections are not necessary every year, the vehicle must still receive an inspection compliance label annually. For non-commercial passenger cars, new vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years. After six years, an annual inspection is required. The specific timing can be determined by referring to the registration month of the vehicle as indicated on the vehicle registration certificate. Vehicle annual inspection refers to the mandatory testing required for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual 'health check' for the vehicle based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation. Vehicle annual inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
