How Many Years Before a Private Car Needs to Go Through Inspection?
1 Answers
The time for a motor vehicle to undergo inspection is determined based on the vehicle type. Except for passenger cars which are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, other vehicle types must undergo inspection according to the specified schedule. Below are the specific details about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for the Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." 2. Exemption Policy: Non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from on-site inspection for the first 6 years. However, the owner still needs to pass an exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually every 2 years) and then apply for an inspection compliance sticker at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police substation, which must be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of the Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial passenger vehicles and similar vehicles has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered on or after September 1, 2012, are eligible for two exemptions; vehicles registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, are eligible for one exemption; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review procedures.
