Does a seven-year-old car need an inspection this year?

[GavinLee]

No, private cars that have reached 6 years are now subject to biennial inspections. If the 7th-year inspection was conducted in advance, the next inspection is still required before the expiration of the current inspection period. The new regulations for vehicle inspections came into effect on November 20, 2020, expanding the exemption scope to include non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years. Below are the precautions for cars that have not undergone inspection: 1. Accident liability: For any traffic accidents caused by vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection on time, the involved party will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not be liable. This is because the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with expired inspections are excluded from coverage. 2. Mandatory scrapping: According to the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," any motor vehicle that fails to obtain a valid inspection certificate for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection period will be subject to mandatory scrapping.
