Annual safety inspection items include checking the engine, chassis, vehicle braking performance, etc. Specific annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and effective; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records; verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles; check whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or reconstructed, and whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the current vehicle condition, with any changes having undergone approval and modification procedures; inspect whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether replacement is needed. Notes for vehicle annual inspection: Vehicles should undergo annual inspection within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. According to relevant laws, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle before applying for the annual inspection following the legal procedures.

I just got my driver's license a year ago, and at the end of last year, my old car happened to be six years old. I was a bit confused when I drove it to the inspection station! After asking a traffic police friend, I learned that private cars must undergo an on-site inspection in their sixth year, unlike new cars which are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years and only need to get a sticker. I remember it took most of the day, with the staff checking the brakes, lights, exhaust, and so on. Fortunately, my car was well-maintained and passed in one go. They reminded me that overdue inspections would result in a 200-yuan fine and 3 demerit points, so it's important to get it done within the month before the inspection period. My habit of washing the car once a week actually helped a lot—keeping the tires clean reduces the risk of skidding. I recommend new drivers to maintain their cars regularly to avoid last-minute hassles. In short, the sixth-year on-site inspection is a strict rule—don’t slack off!

I've been driving a taxi for over a decade, covering countless long-distance trips. Experience tells me that a vehicle must undergo inspection in its sixth year. As cars age, issues like brake pad wear and headlight cover deterioration can become safety hazards. Remember, after the policy change, non-commercial vehicles must undergo mandatory safety inspections in their sixth year—don't count on exemptions. I always check the oil level and replace windshield wipers beforehand to avoid failing the test. Safety comes first—last year, I was fined for delayed inspection and nearly got into an accident. The cost is too high. So remember, once your car hits that milestone, head straight to the inspection station and maintain steady driving habits.

The vehicle indeed needs to undergo an inspection line test in the sixth year, don't delay it for too long. The policy has changed before, and now small passenger vehicles must go through the on-site inspection in the sixth year. I understand that overdue vehicle inspection may result in fines and safety hazards. It is recommended to prepare the vehicle license and ID card in advance and find a nearby inspection station to handle it on a weekend. It's easy to overlook maintenance when driving smoothly, and regularly checking tire pressure is beneficial for extending its lifespan. In short, don't be careless and do it on time.

As a car repair enthusiast, I've studied vehicle regulations extensively and confirmed that vehicles must undergo mandatory inspections in their sixth year. Due to accelerated aging issues like shock absorber sagging and wiring deterioration risks, national regulations require the first on-site inspection starting from the sixth year to ensure safety. Before inspection, I always check the cleanliness of the exhaust pipe to avoid test failure. The actual process can be completed in as little as half an hour, but late inspections may be recorded in the system and affect insurance. Maintaining regular engine maintenance is crucial.

What is the fuel consumption of the Suzuki SX4 automatic transmission?

Suzuki SX4 automatic transmission fuel consumption is 6.6L/100km. Carbon deposit issue: Many car owners probably think of carbon deposits first when encountering increased fuel consumption. Carbon deposits are like grease on a range hood - very difficult to deal with. Carbon deposits can affect compression ratio, cause poor ignition, dilute mixture concentration, and adsorb fuel. All these issues will impact fuel consumption. Air filter: The air filter can also affect a car's fuel consumption. When the air filter hasn't been replaced for a long time, clogging can affect the engine's air intake, which will also lead to increased fuel consumption.

What is the difference between a custom-made car and a stock car?

The differences between ordering a car and buying a stock car are as follows: The advantages of a stock car are: You can pick up the car as soon as possible, see the car, know its various conditions, and feel more assured. The disadvantage is that this car may be a display model or an inventory car that has been unsold for a long time. The advantages of ordering a car are: The car is basically newly manufactured and won't be an inventory car or display model. The disadvantage is that you have to wait for a long time. In fact, there is not much difference between ordering a car and buying a stock car, except that if the dealer doesn't have the model you want in stock, you can only order it. Another point is that every vehicle has a production year, month, and day.

Why does the Passat emit black smoke when accelerating?

Passat emits black smoke when accelerating for the following reasons: Excessively rich air-fuel mixture: It is necessary to check whether the oxygen sensor has failed. If the oxygen sensor fails, the vehicle loses its ability to automatically adjust the fuel injection volume. In this case, black smoke is likely to appear when the accelerator is deeply pressed; Excessive fuel impurities: If low-quality fuel is used, the gasoline will produce many impurities after combustion. Next time when refueling, try to go to a gas station; Decreased or failed spark plug performance: The spark plug is the component that ignites the combustible mixture. If the spark plug ages, it cannot effectively ignite the gasoline, resulting in incomplete combustion. In this case, the only solution is to replace the spark plug.

What Causes Small Bumps After Car Painting?

If there is water remaining in the spray gun, darker spots will appear on the paint surface. Another possibility is water mist splashing onto the freshly painted surface before it dries. In rare cases, improper putty application may cause bubbles or water spots that cannot be removed, requiring repainting. Below is relevant information about painting: Spray Pattern: An ideal spray pattern should be symmetrical with evenly distributed atomized particles and clear edges. Only a minimal amount of overspray should exist beyond the pattern edges. Lower atomization pressure helps achieve correct, uniform spray patterns while reducing bounce-back and overspray. Spraying Technique: Maintain the spray gun perpendicular to the workpiece surface during application. The distance between the spray gun and the surface typically ranges from 15~30cm, adjusted according to the surface angle. For wetter, darker, and thicker coatings, reduce the distance; for drier, lighter, and thinner coatings, increase the distance.

What Causes the Wheels to Cross the Line During Parallel Parking?

Here are the reasons why wheels may cross the line during parallel parking: 30-50 cm distance from the curb: Before initiating parallel parking, proper vehicle positioning is crucial. Maintain a 30-50 cm distance between the right side of your vehicle and the curb. Failure to do so will result in significant positioning errors. Crossing the line when entering the space: Turning the steering wheel too early will cause insufficient space at the front while leaving excessive space at the rear, potentially leading to the wheels crossing the boundary line. Therefore, the first reference point must be accurately observed. Crossing the line when exiting the space: It's essential to avoid crossing lines both when entering and exiting the parking space. Whether you turn the wheel too early or too late affects whether the vehicle crosses the line, so timing is critical.
