1 Answers
Vehicle inspection is considered overdue if it is late by even 1 day. Driving a vehicle with an overdue inspection will result in penalties. If a vehicle fails to undergo the mandatory safety technical inspection within the specified period, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine. The annual inspection can only be conducted after the fine is paid. Definition of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every car that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety," aimed at promptly eliminating potential safety hazards and encouraging better vehicle maintenance. Inspection Cycle: For passenger transport vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years; every 6 months after 5 years; and every 6 months after 10 years. For small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once a year after 6 years; and every 6 months after 15 years.
