Current regulations in China indicate that there is no mandatory scrapping age for private cars. As long as the vehicle can pass the annual inspection, it can continue to be used indefinitely. Here is relevant information: Scrapping Date: Although there is no usage period limit for private cars, if a private car's mileage exceeds 600,000 kilometers, it will be guided for scrapping. If a brand-new vehicle has not undergone or failed the annual inspection for three consecutive years, it will also be guided for scrapping. The annual vehicle inspection can be applied for one month in advance, but it cannot be postponed. Delays will result in corresponding penalties. Relevant Regulations: According to regulations, non-operational brand-new vehicles must undergo inspections every two years for the first six years, without the need for an on-site inspection—only timely collection of the annual inspection label is required. From the sixth to the fifteenth year, inspections are required once a year. After fifteen years, inspections must be conducted every six months.
