How many more years can a 10-year-old City be driven?

Depending on the frequency of use by different car owners, some owners use their vehicles more frequently in daily life, accumulating 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers in just a few years. This leads to accelerated wear and tear of car parts, and a 10-year-old vehicle may already meet the mileage standard for guided scrapping. On the other hand, some owners only use their cars for commuting or grocery shopping, with the mileage not even reaching tens of thousands of kilometers over a decade. If the car is well-maintained, it could potentially last up to 20 years. Below is some relevant information: 1. Reasons for scrapping: Most older cars are not retired because the engine is damaged and can no longer run, but rather due to severe oxidation of the exterior paint, increasing minor issues, complicated annual inspections, rising fuel consumption, and certain safety hazards. 2. Relevant regulations: Generally, for household sedans, a 15-year age is a threshold. The latest traffic laws have set relevant regulations regarding the usage period of vehicles. For non-commercial vehicles exceeding 15 years, owners are required to undergo a semi-annual inspection at the vehicle management office. Compared to the previous mandatory scrapping age, as long as the vehicle can pass the annual inspection, it can still be driven legally on the road, provided it meets the local emission standards.
