How many times does a 2008 car need annual inspection in a year?

2008 passenger vehicles require one annual inspection per year in 2021. New vehicles within 6 years are exempt from inspection twice. Below is relevant information: Regulations on vehicle annual inspection: Article 15 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states that motor vehicle safety technical inspections shall be conducted by motor vehicle safety technical inspection institutions. These institutions shall inspect vehicles according to national motor vehicle safety technical inspection standards and bear legal responsibility for the inspection results. Inspection outcomes: Vehicles passing periodic inspections will have stamps affixed to both the vehicle license and the Motor Vehicle Periodic Inspection Form; Vehicles failing periodic inspections must be repaired within specified time limits. If still unqualified after the deadline, the vehicle management authority has the right to confiscate the license plates and vehicle license of unqualified vehicles, making them ineligible for road use or transfer of registration.
As an owner of a 16-year-old car, what I feel most deeply about is the frequency of annual inspections. For a vehicle like mine that's been on the road for 16 years, it needs to be inspected twice a year, scheduled once in the first half and once in the second half of the year. When taking it to the repair shop for inspection, I often encounter minor issues like non-functioning lights or reduced brake sensitivity. While slightly annoying, it's understandable – older cars experience faster wear and tear on parts, and these frequent checks are necessary to ensure road safety. I've also heard from friends that irregular inspections might lead to increased insurance premiums or traffic violation fines. Regular maintenance of tires and the engine can reduce the need for re-inspections and make the whole process smoother. Remember to book an inspection station appointment in advance – peak periods with overcrowding can be quite unpleasant. With proper planning, the process doesn't have to be that troublesome.
