Does a new car require annual inspection in the second year?
1 Answers
According to regulations, new cars require annual inspection in the second year. The normal annual inspection process involves taking the vehicle to a testing station for checks (lights, tires, exhaust emissions, etc.), and then obtaining the inspection sticker after the vehicle passes the inspection. However, due to the "6-year exemption policy," the vehicle inspection part can be exempted, and you can directly apply for the inspection sticker. The relevant regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections are as follows: 1. Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months; 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; starting from November 20, 2020, for vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every 2 years, meaning private cars only need to undergo on-site inspection twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. 4. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., once a year for 10-15 years, and once every 6 months for over 15 years.
