For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and micro vehicles have no usage lifespan. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan restrictions. Commercial vehicles have a scrapping lifespan, as follows: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping lifespan of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping lifespan. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping lifespan, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if they do. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner submits the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plate is then reclaimed, and the scrapping registration is processed after approval according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can deliver the scrapped vehicle to a local recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the vehicle transfer or cancellation registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number for a newly purchased vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

What to do if the car is scratched and the perpetrator cannot be found after the fact?

The car owner should immediately report the incident to the police, who will then assist in locating the responsible party. It is also important to thoroughly document the accident scene, including the exact location where the incident occurred. Reporting to the police allows them to review nearby surveillance footage to track down the perpetrator. If the traffic police identify the responsible party, the matter is straightforward: the other party should provide compensation.

What to Do When Your Car Is Blocked?

If the car owner claims to be in a hurry and unable to move the vehicle, or if the owner's attitude is very poor, you should consider alternative methods in such situations. You can call the dedicated traffic management hotline and simply provide the staff with the license plate number of the vehicle in question. At this point, you can directly call the traffic police to have the vehicle towed away, as it has already severely impacted the traffic flow on that road section.
