Cars are divided into private cars and commercial vehicles, and how long they can be driven before being scrapped depends on the type of vehicle. The normal scrapping periods are as follows: Regulations for scrapping private cars: For 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common regulations for scrapping commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, while other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The process for scrapping motor vehicles is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form," stamped with the owner's seal. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping period, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For motor vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period but are verified by the motor vehicle inspection counter to meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle based on the "Notice." After verifying the "Notice," the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Change Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations after approval.
