How Long After Vehicle Inspection Expiration Will You Be Fined?
1 Answers
If a vehicle's annual inspection has been expired for one year, there will be no fine, and no penalty will be imposed when the uninspected vehicle undergoes inspection later. The inspection will be charged according to the standard fee. However, vehicles with expired inspections are not allowed to be driven on the road. If caught by traffic police while driving with an expired inspection, you will be fined and have 3 points deducted from your license, and you will be urged to complete the vehicle inspection procedures within a specified time. If the delay reaches three years, the vehicle will be deregistered and forcibly scrapped. Below is an introduction to vehicle inspection requirements: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 5 years; every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 10 years; every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once a year after exceeding 6 years; every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 4. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; once a year after exceeding 4 years. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety inspection within the specified period do not need to undergo repeated safety inspections. 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age limit: Cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can still be used. For transactions, you can first apply for the vehicle's scrapping certificate (deregistering the vehicle's record) at the vehicle management office before proceeding with the sale or purchase.
