How Many Years Are 7-Seater Vehicles Exempt from Inspection?

[MacEden]

7-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection within 2 years. Below is relevant information: 1. Biennial Inspection: For 7-seater vehicles within 6 years of registration, owners can directly apply for the inspection label from the traffic management department of the public security authority by providing the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, without the need for a safety technical inspection at an inspection institution. 2. Annual Inspection Items: The annual inspection mainly includes vehicle testing, safety testing, and exhaust emission testing. Newly added items include appearance inspection, OBD inspection, fuel evaporation testing, and adjustment of pollutant emission limits.

I recently bought a 7-seater SUV and specifically checked the annual inspection policy. The current regulations are as follows: For the first six years after purchasing a new car, there's no need for an on-site inspection. You just need to apply for an inspection label every two years via the Traffic Management 12123 APP, which is super convenient. However, after six years, you need to pay attention – inspections are required at the 6th, 8th, and 10th years, where you have to drive to the inspection station. If the car is over ten years old, it needs to be inspected annually. But my friend reminded me that this policy only applies to regular family-use 7-seater vehicles; models like minivans don't qualify. Also, remember to regularly check the brake lights and tire wear when driving, as safety always comes first.

Having driven for over 20 years, I've owned at least seven or eight seven-seater vehicles. The annual inspection policy is indeed much more lenient now. Non-commercial household seven-seater vehicles currently enjoy a six-year exemption from on-site inspections. However, this exemption doesn't mean complete neglect - you must obtain the inspection decal every two years on time, which can be done with just a few taps on your phone. After six years, you'll need to dutifully visit the inspection station, with the eighth-year inspection being particularly easy to forget. A word of caution: avoid making extreme modifications to your vehicle. Any color changes or roof rack installations must be reported in advance, or you'll definitely hit a snag during inspection. Also, insufficient tire tread depth is likely to result in a failed inspection.

As a family with two kids, we switched to a seven-seater car last year for daily commuting. The annual inspection is quite hassle-free, as we don't need to visit the inspection station for the first six years, saving us a lot of time. However, we have to apply for the electronic inspection mark via the traffic management app every two years. My husband always sets phone reminders to avoid missing it. After six years, the vehicle requires on-site inspection, which is a reasonable cycle for family cars. It's advisable to keep maintenance records and repair receipts during the first two years of a new car to avoid issues during future inspections. Also, remember to regularly check the wipers and lights yourself, especially since safety comes first when picking up and dropping off kids at night.
