How long can a 2008 car be driven?

[Claudia]

Whether a car is scrapped is not limited by its age, but by its mileage. When the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, it must be forcibly scrapped. For details, see Articles 5 and 7 of the "Regulations on Compulsory Scrapping of Motor Vehicles". Cars from 2008 comply with the China III emission standards. Some local governments have corresponding policies prohibiting vehicles that meet the China III emission standards from being driven on the road. Under such circumstances, driving is not possible. First-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have introduced corresponding purchase restriction policies. For a 2008 car to continue driving, the following conditions must be met: it must pass the annual inspection; there must be no relevant local restriction policies; and the mileage must not exceed 600,000 kilometers.
