How early can a vehicle's annual inspection be conducted?
1 Answers
Annual inspection applications can be submitted three months prior to the annual review date. The inspection schedule is as follows: 1. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, annually; after 15 years, twice a year. 2. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, every 6 months. 3. Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after 10 years, every 6 months. 4. Motorcycles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 4 years; after 4 years, annually. 5. The annual inspection date is determined by the vehicle's initial registration date. For example, if the registration date on the vehicle license is June 2007, the annual inspection should be conducted every June. Article 40 of the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations' stipulates that vehicle owners may apply for an inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office up to three months before the expiration of the current inspection validity period. For vehicles due in June, inspections can be conducted in April, May, or June.
