How Many Years After Purchase Does a Car Require Biannual Inspections?

[McTyler]

Vehicles that have been in use for over 15 years require biannual inspections, while those between 6 to 15 years old need an annual inspection. For privately-owned non-commercial passenger vehicles, the first six years qualify for exemption from physical inspection, though owners must still submit compulsory insurance documents every two years to obtain the inspection decal. The purpose of annual vehicle inspections is to identify potential issues, mitigate safety hazards, and ensure driver safety. According to regulations, the inspection cycle is determined by the vehicle's initial registration date. For example, if a car was first registered in February 2019, its annual inspection would be due every February. Note that inspections can be conducted up to 3 months in advance but must not be delayed.
