How many years are exempt from inspection for sedans?
2 Answers
Sedans are exempt from inspection for 6 years. Required materials: The vehicle owner needs to bring the vehicle's driving license (original and copy), the ID card of the vehicle owner, the compulsory traffic insurance policy of the vehicle, and the tax payment or tax exemption certificate of vehicle and vessel tax to complete the procedure. Exemption regulations: Vehicle inspection exemption means that for vehicles that meet the exemption conditions within 6 years, the on-site inspection procedure is exempted, and only the inspection mark needs to be applied for every two years, and it must be pasted on the vehicle as required. Essentially, it exempts the on-site inspection. As long as the conditions stipulated by the national policy are met, there is no need for on-site inspection, and the inspection mark can be directly applied for from the traffic management department.
The exemption period for passenger cars from on-site inspection is typically the first 6 years after purchasing a new vehicle. During this time, there's no need to visit an inspection station annually for offline testing. However, every two years, you must apply online for the inspection label via the vehicle management office's website or app—the entire process can be completed conveniently online. When I last bought a new car, I deeply appreciated this policy—no queuing for inspections saved me significant time and money, and driving the new car felt more reassuring. Although issues are rare during the exemption period, it's still important to stay vigilant, such as checking tire wear and ensuring lights function properly, as safety always comes first. Policies may adjust occasionally, so remember to stay updated with the latest notices and maintain your vehicle in good condition. After 6 years, annual on-site inspections begin, requiring closer attention to wear and tear. Choosing a reliable brand when purchasing a car is also crucial to ensure worry-free ownership in the early stages.
