How long after the vehicle annual inspection is overdue will it be processed?
1 Answers
If a motor vehicle reaches its annual inspection time and the owner forgets to have it inspected, there will be no fine for being one day overdue. However, if the vehicle does not undergo the required safety technical inspection within the specified time, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine before the inspection can be conducted. In other words, there is no officially permitted grace period for overdue inspections. Below is an introduction to the vehicle annual inspection requirements: 1. Passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspected once every 6 months. 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspected once every 6 months. 3. Small and micro non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspected once a year; after 15 years, inspected once every 6 months. 4. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; after 4 years, inspected once a year. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. If a commercial vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period, it does not need to undergo the inspection again. 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age limit: Cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the owner must first obtain a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's records) from the vehicle management office before proceeding with the sale or purchase.
