There is no limit to the number of times a vehicle can be re-inspected. Here are the details: Notes on vehicle re-inspection: If a vehicle fails the annual inspection, it will be sent back for re-inspection. There is no limit to the number of re-inspections, but each inspection will incur a fee and take time and effort. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct a self-check before the inspection to increase the chances of passing on the first attempt. Purpose of vehicle annual inspection: The vehicle annual inspection process refers to the fixed procedure that motor vehicles must undergo each year. It is a mandatory test for every vehicle, equivalent to a physical examination for the vehicle, aimed at promptly eliminating potential safety hazards and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.
As an ordinary driver with nearly a decade of driving experience, I once failed my vehicle inspection due to excessively worn brake pads, which caused the test to be unsuccessful. I later had it repaired at a maintenance shop before retaking the inspection. Typically, after failing the inspection, you have 1 to 3 chances for a recheck, but in most Chinese cities, it's 1 to 2 times, depending on local inspection station regulations—for example, you may need to complete the recheck within 30 days, or else you'll have to reapply and pay the fee again. When going for a recheck, it's best to fix the issues first. Minor problems like lighting or exhaust emissions aren’t hard to repair, but don’t delay. My advice is to pay more attention to your car’s condition—regular maintenance can help avoid unnecessary troubles, and passing the inspection in one go saves time and hassle. In short, if you fail, don’t panic—just take timely action.
