How long after the 6-year inspection does a car need to be inspected again?

After 6 years, the car needs to be inspected annually. Below is the relevant information about inspections after 6 years: 1. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 6 years; after exceeding 6 years, they must be inspected annually. After 6 years, the car needs to be inspected yearly and must also pass the inspection line. After exceeding 15 years, inspections are required every 6 months. 2. A car in its 6th year must pass the inspection line for the annual review. The inspection for a car exactly 6 years old is the same as a normal annual inspection. Bring the relevant documents to the local vehicle management office and the designated vehicle inspection station to proceed with the inspection as required. The specific inspection process for the 6th year is as follows: 1. Required documents: vehicle registration certificate, vehicle insurance policy (compulsory traffic insurance), and the owner's ID card. 2. Inspection process: (1) The vehicle must first queue up. (2) Fill out the registration form in the service hall, then submit it along with the vehicle registration certificate and compulsory traffic insurance (copy) to the staff. Pay a 100-yuan inspection fee and receive the stamped form. (3) Wait in your vehicle. (4) After the staff drives the vehicle away, wait at the exit for the vehicle to return. Collect the documents and then go to the service hall to receive the inspection results and retrieve the inspection compliance certificate. 3. Inspection content: (1) Whether the vehicle's appearance (including body paint, added foot pedals, replaced exhaust, or custom patterns) matches the registration certificate. (2) Whether the vehicle's frame number and engine number match those on the registration certificate. (3) Whether the exhaust emissions, braking performance, and light intensity and deviation meet the relevant standards. Additionally, the 6-year exemption from inspection does not mean exemption from the annual review; it is only one step in the vehicle review process. The owner still needs to collect the inspection compliance label from the traffic police department and complete the necessary procedures.

As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience, I clearly remember: after the first on-site annual inspection for small passenger vehicles in their sixth year, there's a two-year interval before the next inspection, meaning you'll need to visit the testing station again in the eighth year. The government implemented this regulation for safety reasons – as vehicles age, components are prone to wear, and risks increase for aging lighting and braking systems. Frequent inspections help identify potential hazards early. During my last inspection, I encountered queue issues, so I recommend making an appointment in advance with your local vehicle management office. Bring your ID card, vehicle license, and insurance policy to save time and effort. Additionally, don't neglect routine maintenance like regular oil changes and tire checks, which can prevent issues during annual inspections. Remember, after the eighth year, inspections are required every two years, and after ten years, they become annual – developing this habit is crucial.

Our family car just underwent its sixth annual inspection last year, and my husband checked the policy stating that the next inspection will be in two years, so we can directly go for the eighth-year inspection. This is quite convenient for families, as it saves the hassle and time of visiting the inspection station every year. Safety is the top priority, especially when traveling with children—ensuring the vehicle has no hidden dangers, and that the lights and brakes meet the standards. I read online that older vehicles require more consistent maintenance to avoid failing the inspection. It's advisable to schedule an appointment a month in advance to prevent any delays that might affect the renewal of the driving license. Bring valid documents, and the process usually takes about half an hour. If the vehicle's condition is poor, there might be additional checks, so early preparation is always a good idea.

Last year, my car underwent its sixth-year inspection, and I later consulted friends who said the next one would be at the eighth year. That's how the policy works—new cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, followed by inspections every two years. As a new car owner, I think it's great—less hassle. The key is not to forget the dates, or else you might face fines. Regular maintenance, like car washing and checking lights, can reduce inspection headaches. The two-year interval is reasonable, ensuring safe operation—just bring the required documents and follow the process.
