Does a sedan need to undergo inspection after 6 years?

A sedan needs to undergo inspection in its 6th year. The 6-year exemption from inspection applies to non-operational sedans and other small and mini passenger vehicles, which are exempt from on-site inspection within the first 6 years. Here are the standards for sedan inspection: 1. Sedans within 6 years. If it's a new car still within the first 6 years, it can be exempt from inspection twice (requiring an inspection mark application every two years without on-site vehicle inspection); in the 6th and 8th years, the vehicle must undergo on-site inspection. 2. Sedans over 10 years old. Follow the original inspection cycle, i.e., once a year for vehicles aged 10 to 15 years, and every six months for vehicles over 15 years old. The vehicle owner can apply for an inspection mark at the vehicle registration office within 3 months before the expiration of the current inspection validity.

My car must undergo an annual inspection after being driven for six years, as this is a mandatory requirement by traffic regulations. The inspection station will thoroughly check the braking system, lights, tire wear, chassis condition, and whether emissions meet the standards. Brakes can easily age and fail after prolonged use, excessively worn tires may cause skidding, and dim lights make nighttime driving extremely dangerous. During last year's inspection, I discovered that the rear brake pads were nearly worn out, almost causing an accident—fortunately, I replaced them in time. Remember, safety comes first—never cut corners. Every vehicle must undergo an annual inspection after six years to ensure the safety of you and your family. Book an appointment at a certified inspection station; it only costs a few hundred bucks and won’t take much time. Addressing these minor issues promptly can prevent major breakdowns on the road.

After six years of driving, vehicles must undergo mandatory inspections. Failure to do so can result in fines of at least 200 yuan and penalty points. Don’t assume that new cars exempt from initial inspections are off the hook—after six years, annual checks are required by law. My friend skipped it last month, got pulled over by traffic police, fined 500 yuan, and had to go through the hassle of late paperwork. The inspection covers everything from exterior condition to engine faults and safety systems, helping identify hidden issues early for repairs. It’s best to schedule early at a DMV or online-appointed station—just bring your vehicle license and ID. The process is straightforward and usually takes 1-2 hours. This is about integrity and responsibility; don’t cut corners only to invite bigger trouble. If a tire bursts or brakes fail during daily driving, regret won’t help—stick to the rules for peace of mind.

After six years, a sedan definitely needs to undergo annual inspections to avoid additional losses. The inspection fee of one or two hundred yuan is much better than spending tens of thousands on engine repairs after an accident. Personally, I always pay attention to saving money—inspections can detect fuel system issues or exhaust pipe blockages, allowing for early repairs and saving labor costs. Don't rely on luck; skipping inspections might result in insurance not covering accident costs, which would be a huge loss. A simple solution is to go to officially recognized locations, such as authorized service stations in the city—just bring your documents, and you’re done on the spot. Also, learn some DIY tips, like regular oil changes and tire pressure checks, to extend your car’s lifespan and save money. It’s a win for both safety and economy—don’t wait for problems to arise.
