Has the Twice-a-Year Inspection Been Cancelled?
1 Answers
Twice-a-year inspection has not been cancelled yet. Annual inspection is a mandatory process for all vehicles, which includes exhaust emission testing, violation checking, appearance inspection, and on-line detection. Only when all tests meet the standards can the vehicle obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark, which should be affixed to the upper left corner of the front windshield. According to China's annual inspection regulations, non-operational vehicles with 6 seats or less are exempt from inspection within 6 years, require annual inspection from 6 to 15 years, and need twice-a-year inspection after 15 years. During the annual inspection, if the vehicle has been modified, it must be restored to its original factory condition; otherwise, it will not pass the inspection. According to national regulations on vehicle modifications, the following circumstances will not be registered for changes: 1. Changing the brand, model, or engine model of the motor vehicle, except for engines that are optionally installed with the permission of the competent department of motor vehicle products under the State Council; 2. Changing the registered appearance and technical data of the motor vehicle, unless otherwise stipulated by laws, regulations, and national mandatory standards.
