How Early Can a Vehicle's Annual Inspection Be Conducted?
2 Answers
A vehicle's annual inspection can be conducted up to three months in advance. In addition to the regular annual inspection conducted on time, it is actually possible to go to the vehicle management office for an early inspection. The timing of the vehicle's annual inspection is not based on specific dates but is calculated by month. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation, aiming to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. This is commonly known as the vehicle inspection.
My friend who just started driving asked about this, and I remember my own car's annual inspection was done three months before the expiration last time. The standard time is that it can be processed 90 days in advance, and I usually do it two months before the expiration because there are fewer people at the inspection station and the queue is faster. The inspection includes items such as brakes, lights, and exhaust emissions, and if problems are found in advance, there's still time to fix them. If you delay until the last minute, in case the car has problems that can't be fixed in time, it's easy to get a ticket or even have an accident. As a car owner, I think this is not just about convenience, but more importantly, safety. Getting it done early gives peace of mind and makes driving on the road steadier. Remember, don't wait until the last few days, leave some buffer time.
