How Long Can a Private Car Go Without Inspection?

[DePresley]

Car inspection cannot be overdue for more than three months. If the inspection is overdue for less than three months, you can directly apply for a renewal and will receive a verbal warning without a fine; if the inspection is overdue for more than three months but less than two years, a fine will be imposed. The consequences of an overdue vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. Vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road; 2. Driving a vehicle without an up-to-date inspection will result in 3 penalty points and a fine; 3. If an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone inspection, the driver will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not cover the damages; 4. Driving without an up-to-date inspection is considered illegal and may result in the vehicle being impounded; 5. According to the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," vehicles that fail to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period will be forcibly scrapped.
