How long is three cycles of overdue vehicle inspection?

[SanRicardo]

Three cycles of overdue vehicle inspection is three years. Vehicle inspection cannot be overdue; even one day late will result in corresponding penalties. Vehicle inspections can be conducted up to three months in advance, but cannot be postponed. If caught driving without inspection by traffic police, you will be penalized with a deduction of three points and a fine of up to 200 yuan. For any accidents caused by vehicles that have not undergone timely inspection, the responsible party will bear primary liability, and the insurance company will not be held accountable. The items for vehicle inspection include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their attachments are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Testing whether the vehicle's braking performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations.

Three missed vehicle inspection cycles typically mean the car hasn't been inspected for about three years, as annual inspections are usually required once per year, so three cycles roughly equal three years. I've forgotten this myself before - last time I was overwhelmed with business trips and delayed it for over half a year, which resulted in a fine. Now I set phone reminders one month in advance. Don't underestimate this issue. Prolonged lack of inspection not only leads to fines but also risks hiding potential problems with brakes, lights, etc. If an accident happens while driving an uninspected vehicle, the consequences could be severe. It's advisable not to delay too long - get the inspection done immediately after expiration to avoid heavier penalties or driving restrictions.

If a car hasn't undergone annual inspection for three cycles, that's roughly over three years. Typically, inspections are required annually, so three cycles would mean more than three years. I once heard from a car mechanic that many car owners only think about it when the warning light comes on, but by then it's often too late to handle easily. Long-term neglect of inspections poses numerous hidden dangers, such as undetected tire wear or aging wiring, which can lead to breakdowns on the road. I once missed the inspection by a few months due to a busy work schedule, got stopped by traffic police, fined over 200 yuan, and almost missed out on insurance reimbursement. It's best to check the car's condition every six months rather than waiting until three years have passed, otherwise, the repair costs could end up being much higher.

Missing three inspection cycles means about three years, as vehicle inspections are typically annual. I was confused when I first bought my car too, delaying it for two years before remembering to get it inspected. Ended up paying nearly a thousand in fines and interest, and my car was impounded for a while. Going too long without inspection is risky—issues like tire and brake system problems can go unnoticed, affecting driving safety. Now I always go to the DMV on time. Don't be as careless as I was.
