Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, there is no usage period limit for non-commercial small and mini vehicles. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out one copy of the "Application Form for Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection by the vehicle inspection office, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be recycled, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Why is the first brake pedal soft and the second one hard?

The reasons for the first brake pedal being soft and the second one hard are: 1. There is air in the brake lines, and the air in the brake fluid needs to be bled; 2. Due to previous brake fluid leakage causing wear on the master cylinder or wheel cylinder piston cups, the faulty components need to be replaced; 3. The unique hygroscopic property of brake fluid, if not replaced for a long time, water and impurities deposited at the wheel cylinder end during braking can cause this issue. Common brake noises include squeaking sounds. First, check if the brake pads have worn down to the wear indicators. If the noise is from the wear indicators, the brake pads need to be replaced. If not worn down, it's usually due to hard spots on the brake pads or dust/sand particles between the rotor and pads, requiring the brake pads to be removed and sanded with sandpaper.

Why Can't the Sunroof Open?

The reasons why the sunroof cannot open are: 1. Sunroof circuit malfunction; 2. Damage to the sunroof drive motor; 3. Severe lack of lubrication in the sunroof slide rails, causing the sunroof seal to stick to the car body; 4. Foreign objects stuck in the sunroof track. The car sunroof is installed on the roof, effectively allowing air circulation in the car and increasing the intake of fresh air. Additionally, the sunroof can provide a broader view and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Car sunroofs can be roughly categorized into: sliding-out type, hidden type, hidden flip-out type, panoramic type, and curtain type, mainly installed on commercial SUVs, sedans, and other models.
