Does the vehicle need to undergo on-site inspection in the sixth year?

The vehicle in its sixth year requires on-site annual inspection. The six-year exemption from inspection refers to non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats), which are exempt from on-site inspection within the first six years. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. The inspection items and scope vary depending on the nature of the vehicle's use. 2. Inspection items: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for Qualification and Competence Assessment of Inspection and Testing Institutions - Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions," motor vehicle inspection includes three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection.
Just helped a friend with this recently. Indeed, vehicles in their sixth year require an on-site inspection. The new policy states that for the first six years, you only need to collect the inspection decal every two years, but the sixth year requires bringing the vehicle to the inspection station for an official annual check. Remember to settle any traffic violations in advance and bring the vehicle registration certificate and compulsory traffic insurance policy. It's best to check the lights, brakes, etc., beforehand—my friend had to make an extra trip because the brake pads were excessively worn. Pay special attention to exhaust emissions too; the testing equipment is quite sensitive now. I recommend going on a weekday to avoid long weekend queues. Oh, and if you've modified the headlights or applied dark window tint, you'll need to restore them to factory condition beforehand, or you definitely won't pass. Safety first, after all.
