How Long Can a Car from the Early 2000s Still Run?
1 Answers
If there is no severe damage and timely maintenance is performed, the car should have no issues for at least three to four years. This also depends on the vehicle's condition. As long as it passes the motor vehicle inspection, it can continue to be driven on the road. Below is additional information: 1. Pay attention to maintenance and timely inspections: Non-commercial small and micro vehicles do not have a fixed service life. Even if the car is already 15 years old, if it has been well-maintained and cared for, it can still operate normally without needing to be scrapped or replaced with a new one. However, for safety reasons, vehicles over 15 years old are required to undergo inspections twice a year. If they pass the inspection, they can continue to be used. 2. Mandatory scrapping: Registered motor vehicles should be mandatorily scrapped under the following circumstances: if they still fail to meet the relevant national safety and technical standards for in-use vehicles after repair and adjustment; if, after repair, adjustment, or the application of control technology, the pollutants or noise emitted into the atmosphere still do not meet the relevant national standards for in-use vehicles; or if they fail to obtain the motor vehicle inspection mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.
