How long after expiration can a motorcycle not undergo annual inspection?
2 Answers
Motorcycles cannot undergo annual inspection if it has been expired for three years. Vehicles that have not undergone inspection for more than three years will be mandatorily scrapped. Below are the time requirements for motorcycle annual inspections: 1. Annual inspection: According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations": motorcycles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 4 years, and annually thereafter. 2. Penalties for overdue inspection: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law": motor vehicle drivers found driving with an overdue inspection will be fined and penalized with 3 demerit points. 3. Motorcycle inspection procedures: Required documents: vehicle license, the vehicle itself, and compulsory traffic accident insurance. The inspection is conducted at the local vehicle management office.
I know this well! Motorcycle annual inspection expiration is handled in stages: If it's just expired within 1 month, you can still get it inspected normally, but you'll have to pay a fine under 200 yuan. Between 1-3 months is more troublesome - besides the fine, you'll need to go through reinspection procedures and make another trip to the testing line. The worst case is exceeding 3 months - your vehicle records will be locked and the license plate directly revoked! My neighbor had to scrap a bike this way, which was a huge loss. However, policies vary slightly by region - for example, Hainan gives a 60-day grace period. I recommend you check your local 12123 APP or contact the vehicle management office immediately. Whatever you do, don't delay beyond three months, or you'll only be able to sell it for scrap parts.
