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