Does a nine-year-old car need an annual inspection?
1 Answers
Nine-year-old cars require annual inspections. Below are the relevant details: 1. New inspection regulations: The new regulations for motor vehicle inspections came into effect on November 20, 2020. Previously, inspections had to be conducted again within the validity period of the annual inspection, but after this inspection, the new regulations allow for a two-year valid inspection certificate. 2. Specific inspection rules: The new regulations include 7 to 9-seat non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding vans) within the 6-year exemption range. For non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding vans) over 6 years but less than 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., once a year for cars aged 10 to 15 years, and once every six months for cars over 15 years old.
