Has the Scrapping Age Limit Been Abolished for Wuling Mini Trucks?
2 Answers
Wuling mini trucks have not had their scrapping age limit abolished. Below are the specific procedures for vehicle scrapping: Prepare the required materials for scrapping procedures: Prepare the "Motor Vehicle Registration Form (Supplementary Form)", "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Suspension, Resumption/Cancellation of Registration", "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" (unless not obtained), and the motor vehicle driving license. Submit an application to the public security authorities: The owner of the vehicle to be scrapped should promptly submit an application to the public security authorities and complete the motor vehicle scrapping procedures. On the day of acceptance, the public security authorities will issue the "Motor Vehicle Scrapping Certificate" to the owner and instruct them to sell the scrapped vehicle to a scrapped vehicle recycling company.
I've been driving a Wuling mini truck for almost ten years. This type of vehicle indeed has a mandatory scrappage period, which hasn't been abolished. The policy changed the restrictions for private cars, but commercial vehicles including mini trucks still maintain a 15-year compulsory retirement. My 2015 vehicle was deregistered last year due to exceeding the age limit. To extend its usage, strict annual inspections are required to check if the chassis and braking system are intact. I recommend regular maintenance, such as inspecting electrical circuits and fuel pumps, to prolong its lifespan. However, for safety reasons, don't push it too hard—older vehicles are prone to skidding and accidents on highways. Replace it when necessary; don't risk saving money on a new car at the expense of safety, as life is precious. With careful maintenance, I can still drive it for another two or three years.
