How many times a year should a 15-year-old car be inspected?

Cars over 15 years old require two inspections per year. Here is relevant information: 1. Relevant regulations: Annual inspections can promptly identify any issues with the vehicle, allowing owners to understand the vehicle's condition and make necessary repairs. After the revision of the motor vehicle scrapping system, the usage period limit for private cars was abolished, and it was changed to guiding scrapping after the mileage of private cars reaches 600,000 kilometers. However, if a private car fails to obtain the relevant motor vehicle inspection certificate for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will also be subject to mandatory scrapping. 2. Precautions: If the vehicle fails to undergo the annual inspection on time, the insurance company will not provide compensation in case of an accident. When a traffic accident occurs, if the insured vehicle has not been inspected within the specified time, fails the inspection, or does not have valid driving documents, the insurer will not be liable for compensation.

I'm the kind of young person who often drives a beat-up old car, and my vehicle happens to be 15 years old. According to regulations, cars that are 15 years old must undergo a comprehensive inspection at the annual testing station once a year. The main checks are on the brakes, emissions, and lights, because older cars are prone to issues. Last time, I was fined 200 yuan for being a little overdue, which really wasn't worth it. Nowadays, I always book an appointment in advance through an app—it saves time and is super convenient. When going for the inspection, remember to bring your vehicle license and insurance policy. The checks are quite thorough, and fixing any issues on the spot can save you money. My advice to everyone is not to procrastinate—getting your annual inspection done on time ensures safety and avoids fines. Also, make sure to regularly maintain your old car's tires and brake system to prevent any unexpected breakdowns on the road.

As a veteran driver with decades of experience, my car is now 15 years old. According to current policies, vehicles of this age require annual inspections. I recall stricter regulations in earlier years, where cars over 15 years old needed inspections every six months. Fortunately, the process has been simplified now, but we must never take it lightly. I always go to the inspection station near my home—they check the engine, chassis, and seat belts, and the fee of over 200 yuan is well worth it. My neighbor forgot to get his car inspected last year and ended up with penalty points and his vehicle impounded, a regretful situation. For older cars, paying extra attention to oil changes and cooling system maintenance ensures smooth sailing during inspections. Safety comes first—don’t invite big trouble just to save a little money.

This car has been our family's daily driver for 15 years. It must pass the annual inspection on time every year to ensure road safety. I can't take any risks when driving the kids to and from school. Just bring the vehicle license and insurance policy to the inspection station - the process is simple and efficient, usually taking about half an hour. My husband always reminds me not to miss the deadline - the fine is the least concern, what really matters is preventing potential breakdowns. While newer vehicle regulations are more lenient now, stricter inspections for older cars make perfect sense. Regular cleaning of headlights and checking tire wear makes passing the annual inspection much easier.

As a car enthusiast, I have an in-depth understanding of the annual inspection policies. Vehicles over 15 years old are required to undergo an annual on-site inspection, which includes brake performance, exhaust emissions, and electrical systems. Due to the high vehicle age, parts are prone to aging, making the annual inspection crucial for prevention. My well-maintained older car passes the inspection every time. Policies vary slightly by region, with southern areas placing more emphasis on emission standards. I recommend fellow car owners to first self-check their OBD data to ensure compliance before sending the vehicle for inspection, avoiding repeated hassles.
