How Many Years Are 7-Seater Vehicles Exempt from Inspection?
1 Answers
7-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection for 6 years. Starting from November 20, 2020, 7-seater vehicles have been officially included in the exemption scope. For 7-seater vehicles within 6 years, when a biennial periodic inspection is required, the vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection label by providing the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, and the tax payment or exemption certificate for vehicle and vessel tax, without the need to undergo safety technical inspection at an inspection institution. Inspection cycle: For 7-seater vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning only 2 on-site inspections are required within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years (also effective from November 20, 2020). For vehicles over 10 years, an annual inspection is required; for those over 15 years, a semi-annual inspection is required. For on-site inspections, 7-seater vehicle owners or agents need to bring their ID card, vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, and vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate to the local vehicle inspection institution for the annual inspection. Inspection items mainly include vehicle detection, safety inspection, exhaust emission testing, etc. Newly added items now include appearance inspection, OBD check, fuel evaporation detection, and adjustment of pollutant emission limits.
