How many more years can a 15-year-old car be driven?
1 Answers
Currently, there is no mandatory scrapping period for household vehicles. Here are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: Small vehicles require an inspection every two years within the first six years without the need for an on-site check. For vehicles older than six years, an annual inspection is required. Vehicles older than 15 years must undergo an inspection every six months. Theoretically, as long as the vehicle passes the inspection, it can continue to be driven. 2. Considerations: For a car that has been driven for 15 years, many rubber components, wiring, and pipelines may show signs of aging. Many vehicles may experience oil leakage due to aging valve cover gaskets, which can be resolved by replacing them. Additionally, the stabilizer bar and tie rod ends are prone to aging over time, which can lead to unusual noises.
