Has the biannual vehicle inspection been canceled?

The biannual vehicle inspection has not been canceled. If a vehicle has been in use for more than fifteen years, it needs to be inspected every six months; if it has been in use for more than twenty years, it requires inspection every three months. During the inspection, the exterior, lighting system, braking system, chassis, and exhaust emissions are checked. If any test fails, the vehicle inspection is not passed. 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 vehicles based on the technical conditions for safe operation of motor vehicles. Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

As someone who frequently deals with vehicle management policies, I’ve noticed that the annual vehicle inspection process has been significantly simplified. After the policy adjustments in November 2020, most private cars no longer require biannual inspections. Non-commercial small passenger vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, requiring only a biennial application for an inspection decal via an app. For vehicles aged 6-10 years, inspections are required every two years; for those aged 10-15 years, inspections are annual; and for vehicles over 15 years old, biannual inspections are required—though this is rarely applicable to average car owners. The policy aims to reduce hassle, save money and time, and avoid long queues. It’s advisable for car owners to check their documents during routine maintenance to ensure all procedures are complete. Driving safety remains the top priority, and with the more user-friendly policies now in place, things have become much more relaxed.

Having driven for many years, I've personally experienced the convenience brought by the new policy. In the past, when a vehicle got old, you had to queue up at the inspection station twice a year, which was particularly troublesome. But now, with the optimized rules, my car is only 8 years old and only needs an inspection every two years, saving a lot of effort. Actually, the twice-a-year inspection hasn't been completely abolished, but it only applies to those vintage cars over 15 years old. The new regulations encourage people to use apps for handling procedures, reducing paper waste and being more environmentally friendly. Regular maintenance can extend a car's lifespan and avoid frequent annual inspections. In short, the changes are quite good—driving no longer involves worrying about these trivial matters, and it feels very reassuring.

Just checked the latest policy, and the twice-a-year inspection has indeed been simplified. Under the new regulations after 2020, the frequency for ordinary private cars is determined by vehicle age: new cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years; those between 6-10 years require inspection every two years; only vehicles over 15 years old need biannual inspections. Not everyone is exempt, but the frequency is reduced for most. It's recommended that car owners adjust their schedules based on their vehicle's production year and maintain their cars regularly to minimize issues. This change saves time and money, making life more convenient.

I think the policy reform is mainly for environmental protection and efficiency. The new regulations reduce unnecessary annual inspections, avoiding vehicle pollution on the road, and are stricter for older vehicles. Non-commercial vehicles no longer require two inspections per year, with only some older vehicles retaining this requirement. Since its implementation in 2020, many car owners have saved time, and the government also encourages the use of apps for operations. Paying attention to brake and light maintenance during daily driving ensures safety and environmental friendliness. The policy shift towards being more user-friendly is commendable.

Thinking back over a decade ago, vehicles had to undergo inspections twice a year, often requiring taking time off work and waiting in long queues for half a day, which was particularly exhausting. Now, the policy has changed. Starting from 2020, the inspection cycle has been optimized, with most vehicles reduced to annual inspections or even longer intervals. The twice-a-year inspection hasn't been completely abolished but is now only applicable to vintage cars over 15 years old. The benefit is that driving has become more hassle-free for everyone, and more time can be spent on maintenance. My friends all praise this change as a good one, especially since technological advancements have allowed policies to keep up with the times.
