Generally, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed and 3 points will be deducted. Here are the relevant details: 1. Failing the inspection for 2 years: If a vehicle fails the annual inspection for more than 2 years, its vehicle record will be canceled. At this point, the vehicle will not be able to undergo the annual inspection procedure, and to restore its use, the vehicle record must first be reinstated. You need to apply at the vehicle management office, pay a substantial fine, and go through a cumbersome process to restore the record. 2. Failing the inspection for 3 inspection cycles: If a vehicle fails the annual inspection for more than 3 inspection cycles, the vehicle management office will enforce a mandatory scrapping process, and driving a scrapped vehicle will result in the revocation of the driver's license.
I remember one time when I was too busy and forgot about my truck's inspection deadline. As a result, I got pulled over by traffic police at an intersection. After checking, they found out it was overdue for inspection and immediately issued me a 200-yuan fine, plus deducted 3 points from my driver's license. The truck was towed to a parking lot and stayed there for three days, costing me over 500 yuan for reinspection and retrieval. My business was affected during that period, and I deeply regretted not setting a phone reminder in advance. Actually, overdue inspection not only leads to high fines but also affects vehicle safety. For example, aging tires might blow out, or faulty brakes could cause accidents—the risks are significant. It's best to check your vehicle's inspection date before driving, don't be as careless as I was, causing delays and unnecessary expenses.
