Does the transfer of a used car count as an annual inspection?
1 Answers
Used car transfer does not count as an annual inspection. Although the vehicle will be inspected during the transfer and registration process, it is not equivalent to an annual vehicle inspection. The annual inspection should still be conducted according to the original vehicle's normal schedule. Vehicles can undergo inspection and apply for annual review within three months before the annual inspection date. Below is an introduction to the contents of vehicle annual inspections: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspected once every 6 months; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspected once every 6 months; 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspected once a year; after 15 years, inspected once every 6 months; 4. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; after 4 years, inspected once a year; 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period do not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections. 6. Vehicles that exceed the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but they can continue to be used; for sales, the vehicle owner can first apply for the vehicle's scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's file) at the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the sale.
