Does a sedan need an annual inspection in the 8th year?
1 Answers
Yes, an annual inspection is required. The Ministry of Public Security issued new regulations for vehicle inspections in 2021. For vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Additional information: 1. Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles based on the technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles. Vehicle annual inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. 2. Scrap Age: Private cars must undergo two annual inspections per year starting from the 15th year after registration. For vehicles older than 20 years, four regular inspections per year are required starting from the 21st year. Stricter regulations apply to older vehicles during inspections. For private cars undergoing power testing, the chassis output power must not be less than 60% of the engine's rated power or 65% of the maximum net power. Additionally, the new standards stipulate that vehicles failing safety or environmental standards during an inspection cycle will be forcibly scrapped.
