How Many Days in Advance Can a Vehicle Inspection Be Scheduled?
2 Answers
Vehicle inspection can be scheduled up to 90 days in advance. The relevant regulations on vehicle annual inspection and penalties for overdue inspections are as follows: Relevant regulations on vehicle annual inspection: Article 32 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" stipulates that the owner of a motor vehicle may apply for an inspection compliance mark from the vehicle management office at the place of registration within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. Penalties for overdue inspections: If a vehicle that has not passed the annual inspection continues to be driven on the road, the owner will be fined and receive three demerit points, and the vehicle will be temporarily impounded. It is best to schedule the inspection two months or more than one month in advance, rather than waiting until there are only a few days left before the inspection deadline.
I'm the kind of veteran driver with decades of experience behind the wheel—seen it all. Once, I almost forgot my vehicle inspection deadline and got slapped with a 200-yuan fine for being a few days late, not to mention the long queue for the inspection that left me fuming. Since then, I make sure to get it done one to two months early. Check local regulations—typically, inspections can be completed 30 to 60 days in advance without issues. I recommend using apps like 'Traffic Management 12123' to schedule inspections and skip the lines. Early inspections aren’t just about compliance; they’re a chance to check your car’s condition—catching worn brake pads or minor issues early means peace of mind. Never procrastinate—missing deadlines can void insurance claims and disrupt daily use, especially for long-distance drivers like us. Safety first—that’s the golden rule.
