1 Answers
A vehicle cannot be inspected anymore if it has not been inspected for three years. According to the mandatory vehicle scrapping standards, if a vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark within three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it must be forcibly scrapped. If a vehicle has not been inspected for less than three months, the owner can simply reapply for the inspection and will receive a verbal warning without a fine. If a vehicle has not been inspected for more than three months but less than two years, the owner will need to pay a fine ranging from 50 to 200 yuan and have 3 points deducted from their driving license. Article 4 of the mandatory vehicle scrapping standards stipulates that registered vehicles under the following circumstances must be forcibly scrapped. The owner must sell the vehicle to a qualified recycling and dismantling enterprise, which will handle the registration, dismantling, and destruction according to regulations. The vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license must be submitted to the traffic management department of the public security authority for cancellation: 1. The vehicle has reached the service life specified in Article 5 of these standards; 2. After repair and adjustment, the vehicle still fails to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles; 3. After repair, adjustment, or the adoption of control technology, the vehicle’s emissions or noise still fail to meet the national standards for in-use vehicles; 4. The vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark within three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period.
