Even being one day late beyond the stipulated period is considered a violation. Consequences of overdue car annual inspection: Vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road; driving a vehicle without timely annual inspection will result in 3 penalty points and a fine; if an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone inspection, the involved party will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate; driving without timely annual inspection is considered illegal driving and may result in vehicle impoundment; according to the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," if a motor vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period, it will be mandatorily scrapped.
