Small cars exempt from inspection for six years do need to go through on-site inspection in the 6th year. The six-year exemption does not mean the vehicle doesn't need to visit the DMV at all during this period. It's still mandatory to normally replace the annual inspection stickers twice - in the 2nd and 4th years respectively. By the 6th year, the vehicle must undergo on-site inspection. To ensure safe and reliable operation, vehicles should be maintained in good technical condition that meets motor vehicle safety standards. Besides regular maintenance, preventive daily checks should also be conducted. Drivers should perform these checks at three stages: before departure, during travel, and after parking, focusing on cleaning, inspection, and fuel/lubricant replenishment. Particularly before long-distance trips or when driving a vehicle for the first time, pre-departure inspections are crucial to understand the vehicle's technical condition and familiarize with all control devices.
