Does a small car need an annual inspection in its seventh year?
1 Answers
Small passenger vehicles still require an annual inspection before the expiration of the inspection validity period in their seventh year. Below are the key points regarding the annual inspection: 1. Documents: Bring the vehicle license, ID card, and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. For company vehicles, also prepare the agent's information. 2. Timing: Complete the annual inspection at the vehicle management office within three months before the expiration date. The inspection includes an on-site test, and upon passing, you will receive the inspection compliance label. Generally, you can start the process up to 90 days in advance, but delaying even one day is not allowed. Certain vehicles, such as minivans, may receive notifications if overdue by even a single day. If a private car owner forgets the regular annual inspection, the vehicle cannot be driven legally on the road. If forgotten continuously, it must not exceed three inspection cycles; otherwise, the vehicle will be mandatorily scrapped. However, this mandatory scrapping refers to being barred from road use and is system-recognized. A formal scrapping procedure must still be completed afterward.
