Does the Wuling Hongguang mini need vehicle inspection?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang mini requires annual inspection. Any motor vehicle driven on Chinese roads must undergo annual inspection according to regulations. Exterior inspection: The main inspection items include vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires. It checks whether the vehicle lights are functioning properly, if there are any non-working lights, if the body color has been altered, and if the vehicle suspension has been modified. Emission inspection: It checks whether the exhaust emissions from the vehicle's tailpipe during high-speed operation meet national standards. Online inspection: This mainly involves inspection of the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: Before the annual inspection, any traffic violation records associated with the vehicle must be cleared to pass the annual review.
All motor vehicles registered in China are required to undergo regular inspections, which is a mandatory regulation under traffic laws. Although the Wuling Hongguang MINI is a mini electric vehicle, it must also comply with this rule. For new vehicles, they are exempt from on-site inspections within the first 6 years. Owners only need to apply for the inspection compliance mark every two years via the Traffic Management 12123 APP or at the vehicle management office, which is super convenient. After 6 years, however, the vehicle must be driven to an inspection station for checks on various systems, such as lights, brakes, and the battery health test specific to new energy vehicles. Failing to conduct timely inspections may result in fines, penalty points, or even affect insurance claims. I often remind vehicle owners around me that complying with annual inspections is not a burden but a necessary measure to ensure the safety of themselves and others. It is advisable to prepare relevant documents in advance, such as the vehicle license and compulsory traffic insurance policy, to avoid last-minute hassles.
