Does a new car need to undergo an on-road annual inspection in its second year?
2 Answers
In the second year, a new car does not require an on-road annual inspection. The vehicle owner needs to bring the original vehicle registration certificate, the original ID card of the owner or a copy of the company's business license, the original compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the original vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate to the local traffic police department to apply for the annual inspection label. The key points to note are: 1. Clear all traffic violation records of the vehicle before the annual inspection; 2. Confirm the annual inspection date on the vehicle registration certificate. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates. Its purposes are: 1. To promptly eliminate potential safety hazards of the vehicle; 2. To encourage better maintenance and upkeep of the car; 3. To reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
As a friend who often drives new cars, I have to say you don't need to drive the car for inspection in the second year. I remember when I bought my car, it was exempt from on-site inspection for the first six years - that's a regulation from the Ministry of Transport. In the second year, you just need to operate on your phone or the traffic management APP to apply for an electronic inspection mark. No need to drive the car to the inspection station at all. It saves queuing time and inspection fees, quite convenient. But don't forget this matter, as overdue handling may result in fines or affect insurance. Regularly check your vehicle's condition, like tires and lights, to ensure safe driving. Overall, the first few years with a new car are quite hassle-free.
