Does a three-year-old car require an annual inspection?
1 Answers
A three-year-old car does not require an annual inspection. In September 2014, a new vehicle inspection exemption policy was introduced. According to the regulations, non-operational passenger cars (including non-operational sedans, small and micro passenger vehicles) are subject to a 6-year inspection exemption policy, meaning new vehicles within 6 years are exempt from on-site testing. It is important to note that although the car does not need an annual inspection, the owner must still go to the vehicle management office on time to collect the inspection exemption sticker. To obtain the exemption sticker, all traffic violations must be cleared, and proof of compulsory traffic insurance purchase as well as the vehicle license must be provided. For more details, you can refer to the regulations on strengthening and improving motor vehicle inspection work.
