Does the 6-year exemption from inspection require an on-site inspection in the sixth year?
1 Answers
6-year exemption from inspection requires an on-site inspection in the sixth year. Vehicles registered after 2012 are eligible for two exemptions from on-site inspections. If a vehicle meets the exemption conditions, the exemption period starts from 2014, meaning that during the six years from 2014 to 2019, the vehicle can enjoy two exemptions from on-site inspections. It is not until 2019 that an on-site inspection is required, along with the application for the annual inspection sticker. In other words, the six-year exemption does not include the sixth year. Vehicle models eligible for the 6-year exemption policy include: non-operational large, small, and mini cars, as well as non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles. The non-operational vehicles mentioned in this measure do not include: police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, converted from operational to non-operational, converted from taxis to non-operational, two-wheeled motorcycles, and three-wheeled motorcycles. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) are included in the exemption scope.
