How Many Years Before a Car Requires Biannual Inspections?
1 Answers
Passenger vehicles over 15 years old require biannual inspections. Non-commercial passenger cars and similar vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. During this 6-year period, the vehicle owner or the unit to which the vehicle belongs must submit proof of compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax to the vehicle management office every two years, and then directly apply to the public security traffic management department for the inspection compliance mark. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Purpose: The purpose of vehicle annual inspections is to identify existing problems in vehicles, reduce safety hazards, and thereby ensure the driving safety of vehicle owners. According to relevant regulations, the timing of vehicle annual inspections is determined by the date of initial registration of the new vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is February 2019, then the annual inspection time is every February. It is important to note that the annual inspection can be conducted up to 3 months in advance, but cannot be postponed. 2. Inspection Schedule for Different Vehicle Types: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: inspection every 2 years for the first 6 years; annually after exceeding 6 years; biannually after exceeding 15 years. Commercial passenger vehicles: annually for the first 5 years; every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large and medium non-commercial passenger vehicles: annually for the first 10 years; every 6 months after exceeding 10 years.
