1 Answers
If a vehicle owner fails to conduct the annual inspection in accordance with relevant regulations, they will be penalized with a deduction of 3 points and a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded. Additionally, if an accident occurs while the vehicle is overdue for inspection, the insurance company will not provide claim services. Article 13, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that motor vehicles registered for road use must undergo regular safety technical inspections in accordance with laws and administrative regulations, based on factors such as vehicle purpose, passenger and cargo capacity, and service life. Motor vehicle safety inspection institutions shall conduct inspections for vehicles that provide a motor vehicle driving license and compulsory third-party liability insurance policy, and no unit may impose additional conditions. For vehicles that meet national safety technical standards, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall issue an inspection compliance mark. Specific penalties for vehicles failing annual inspection: - If the delay does not exceed 3 months, the annual inspection can be processed normally, and the traffic police will issue a verbal warning. - If the delay exceeds 3 months but is less than 2 years, a fine will be imposed, and 3 points will be deducted. In severe cases, the motor vehicle may be temporarily impounded. - If the delay exceeds 2 years, the vehicle management office will cancel the vehicle's records, making it impossible to process the annual inspection. The owner must pay corresponding fines to restore the records. - If the delay exceeds 3 inspection cycles, the vehicle management office will forcibly scrap the vehicle, even if it has not reached the mandatory scrapping age.
