Car annual inspection does not necessarily require personal attendance. There are now many annual inspection agency services available. For proxy inspections, the agent only needs to present the required proxy certification materials and other relevant documents (including: ID card, photocopy, vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance policy, etc.) to process the car annual inspection. Annual inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. For vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years old, inspection is required every two years; for those over 10 years but less than 15 years old, annual inspection is required; for vehicles over 15 years old, inspection is required every 6 months. Operational passenger vehicles require annual inspection within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Trucks and large, medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles require annual inspection within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspection at any testing site. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering operation, lighting, exhaust, and other safety performance meet the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, whether the vehicle license, license plate, and all vehicle file registrations match the vehicle's condition, whether there are any changes, and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed; Check whether the license plate, vehicle license, and enlarged license plate print on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether replacement is needed; For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the number of people allowed in the driver's cabin are printed in imitation Song typeface on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear gate (including the rear gate of the trailer) is printed with the vehicle number enlarged 2~3 times as required, and for individual or joint-venture vehicles, whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door. The print must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special circumstances require approval from the vehicle management office).
