How many years before a vehicle registered with DiDi is scrapped?

DiDi does not regulate vehicle scrapping, nor does it have the authority to set scrapping time limits. These matters are handled by the vehicle management office. Currently, vehicles operating on DiDi follow the same scrapping regulations as regular private cars. The vehicle scrapping period refers to a safety inspection system based on the number of seats and the duration of use. According to regulations, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles have no usage time limit. Mandatory scrapping conditions for registered motor vehicles include: 1. Reaching the time limit: reaching the specified usage period. 2. Failing to meet requirements: still not meeting the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles after repair and adjustment. 3. Failing to meet national standards: still not meeting national standards for pollutant emissions or noise from in-use vehicles after repair, adjustment, or control technology implementation. 4. Failing to obtain the inspection mark: not obtaining the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.

I've been driving for Didi in Beijing for several years and understand that the vehicle scrapping regulation requires cars to be scrapped after eight years of registration or when the total mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. This rule is quite crucial because Didi cars are on the road every day, wearing out much faster than private cars. My own car has just reached six years, and I've already had it serviced multiple times. The brakes and engine don’t feel as responsive as they were when new. After scrapping, I'll need to buy a new car. Although the one-time expense is significant, it avoids high maintenance costs and safety risks. Once, I drove a friend’s old car to transport passengers, and it stalled midway, nearly causing an accident. Since then, I’ve supported this policy—safety comes first.

As a frequent Didi user, I always pay attention to the vehicle condition during rides. I heard that registered Didi vehicles must be retired after 8 years or reaching 600,000 kilometers, which seems quite reasonable to me. Older cars tend to have more bumps, noise, and poorer ride quality. Didi's strict regulations help ensure service quality and passenger comfort. I suppose the company aims to reduce accident risks, since safety comes first. Replacing old vehicles earlier benefits everyone and promotes green transportation.

I work in vehicle maintenance and have dealt with many ride-hailing car issues. The retirement standard for Didi vehicles is eight years or 600,000 kilometers, mainly due to metal fatigue and component aging caused by frequent use. The engine and transmission systems become costly to repair in later stages with diminishing effectiveness. Setting this lifespan helps prevent major failures, such as brake failure or overheating issues. From a safety perspective, this policy is essential to avoid road accidents and provide passengers with greater peace of mind.

From an economic perspective, Didi vehicles have a mandatory retirement age of eight years or 600,000 kilometers. This policy helps balance driver costs and efficiency: maintenance expenses for older vehicles skyrocket, making early replacement more cost-effective. Didi maintains market stability by reducing compensation payouts and operational losses caused by accidents. I've observed that drivers with newer vehicles achieve more stable incomes and receive fewer passenger complaints. Overall, this enhances service quality and promotes sustainable operations.
