How Does a Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle Undergo Annual Inspection?

[DiVera]

Below is a detailed introduction to the annual inspection process for four-wheel drive vehicles: Differences between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive vehicles: For four-wheel drive vehicles, exhaust emission testing can only be conducted using the idle condition method, whereas two-wheel drive vehicles use the simulated driving condition method. Vehicle inspection and drive type: Vehicle inspection is not related to the vehicle's drive type. Annual vehicle inspection system: The annual vehicle inspection system is determined by the number of seats. Vehicles with seven seats or fewer require an on-site inspection every six years, while vehicles with seven seats or more need to be inspected every two years. For vehicles with seven seats or fewer, whether they are four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive, they are exempt from inspection within the first six years.

Getting my 4WD vehicle inspected online last year was very convenient. First, I made sure the car was in good condition by checking the lights, brakes, and 4WD system. Then, I logged into the local traffic management app, entered vehicle details including the VIN and registration certificate photos to book an appointment. The website automatically displayed nearby inspection stations and available time slots, and I selected the most suitable date. After uploading digital copies of my driver's license and insurance policy, I confirmed the booking. Upon receiving a confirmation SMS, I took the car to the station where staff processed it quickly according to the appointment, completing the inspection in half an hour. Results were available online, and if it failed, I could also book a re-inspection online. This method eliminated the hassle of queuing and was especially suitable for busy car owners. The core of a 4WD vehicle inspection is checking the drivetrain and safety performance, and online booking made the entire process more efficient.

Booking a 4WD vehicle inspection online is super easy, I got it done in just a few minutes on my phone. After installing the official traffic management app and registering, I selected the inspection service and filled in basic vehicle details like displacement and drivetrain type. The system then recommended matching inspection stations. I uploaded photos of my vehicle license and ID for approval and scheduled a time slot for next week. At the site, I got priority service thanks to my advance booking, with inspectors focusing on checking the 4WD locking function and suspension. The app also sends reminders before expiration to avoid overdue inspections, and the electronic report is directly pushed to my account. As a young person, I'm accustomed to this digital approach - it saves time, money, and is eco-friendly by reducing trips to physical offices. Occasional network glitches were easily fixed with a refresh, and the overall process was smooth and secure.

The online annual inspection for my 4WD vehicle went quite well. Initially, I was a bit worried about technical issues, but with my children's help, I registered an account on the official website using a computer. The steps were clear: enter the vehicle model and VIN code, then select a nearby testing center for an appointment. After uploading necessary documents like the vehicle license, the system confirmed the time. On the inspection day, I brought the car in, and the process was quick—the inspector verified the appointment details and checked the 4WD's chassis and differential. Checking the results online was convenient, and any issues were directly displayed in the app with rectification suggestions. Previously, I always queued up offline, but now the online process saves a lot of effort, making it suitable for elderly people to gradually adapt to the new method.
