Does the six-year exemption from inspection for motor vehicles include the sixth year?

Motor vehicles' six-year exemption from inspection does not include the sixth year. The sixth year requires an on-site inspection. The six-year exemption only means no on-site inspection is needed, but the owner must collect the inspection decal from the traffic management department every two years. Vehicles eligible for the six-year exemption include non-operational large, small, and micro cars, as well as non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles. If the vehicle does not fall into these categories, it must undergo on-site inspections on time. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle. Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
Yes, the six-year exemption from inspection for motor vehicles includes the sixth year, but there are some small details to note. This policy applies to new vehicles, starting from the date of registration. For the first six years, you only need to collect the inspection sticker every two years from the vehicle management office or online, without undergoing an on-site inspection. The sixth year is also exempt, but by the end of the sixth year, you must undergo the first on-site inspection to check the vehicle's safety performance. When handling vehicle matters, I found that many new car owners easily forget this deadline and end up with late fines. It's advisable to note the registration year and schedule the inspection before the last month of the sixth year to avoid hassle. Also, remember to collect the biennial sticker without fail to ensure your driving is legal and worry-free. In short, the exemption including the sixth year is a benefit for new cars, but don’t delay the inspection until the seventh year, as it may affect insurance or even result in penalty points.
My own car underwent its inspection in the sixth year last year, and indeed there were no issues during the exemption period. For new cars, the first six years, including the sixth year, are completely exempt from on-site inspections, requiring only a simple collection of the inspection sticker every two years. At the end of the sixth year, a comprehensive inspection at the testing station is necessary. I find this policy quite considerate, saving car owners a lot of hassle, but it requires advance planning. My car’s inspection at the end of the sixth year took some time to schedule, but it went smoothly. After six years, annual inspections become more cumbersome, so I recommend new car owners to set reminders on their mobile apps to handle the sticker collection and inspections promptly, avoiding any impact on driving.
From the perspective of vehicle safety, the six-year exemption from inspection includes the sixth year, but the inspection at the end of the sixth year cannot be skipped. During these six years, including the sixth year, the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection, and you only need to collect the inspection sticker every two years. The inspection is to ensure that components like brakes and tires are in good condition, preventing accidents. I recommend not just focusing on convenience; schedule the inspection before the end of the sixth year. Neglecting to check the vehicle's condition poses significant risks. Remember the registration date to avoid delays.
