How Many Days Can Vehicle Annual Inspection Be Delayed?
2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection cannot be postponed. The following are the time regulations for annual inspection and the hazards of not complying with the specified inspection time: Time regulations for vehicle annual inspection: For vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years old, only 2 on-site inspections are required, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Vehicles over 10 years old must be inspected annually; those over 15 years old must be inspected every 6 months. For commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Hazards of not complying with the specified vehicle annual inspection time: If an uninspected vehicle is driven on the road and an accident occurs, the insurance company may refuse to compensate, and all responsibilities will fall on the driver. If a vehicle fails to pass the annual inspection and obtain the inspection qualification mark for 3 consecutive inspection cycles, the vehicle will be deregistered and forcibly scrapped.
Vehicle annual inspection is something you really can't delay even for a single day! I checked for a friend last time, the inspection deadline written on the vehicle registration certificate is the absolute cutoff. Even one day overdue counts as a violation. If caught driving with an expired inspection, it's an immediate 200 yuan fine plus 3 penalty points - those driver's license points can't afford such deductions. What's worse, if you get into an accident, the insurance company will deny your claim the moment they see your inspection has expired. It's recommended to visit the inspection station up to 90 days in advance to avoid end-of-month rushes. If you really can't make it in time, park the car and don't drive it, then go for a supplementary inspection immediately. By the way, exceeding three inspection cycles will result in mandatory vehicle scrapping - don't lose big for small gains.
