How Many Years Can a Car Be Driven Before It Must Be Scrapped?

[GeorgeLynn]

If the car is well maintained and passes the annual inspection, it is possible to drive it for 20 years. However, if the car does not participate in the annual inspection on time, it may be forcibly scrapped in less than 10 years. According to the regulation "private cars over 15 years old must be inspected every six months," the annual inspection cycle for such a car is 0.5 years, and three inspection cycles would be 1.5 years. If the car has not undergone an annual inspection for 1.5 years, it will be forcibly scrapped. Below is relevant information: Vehicle Scrapping Age: The vehicle scrapping age refers to a safety inspection system based on the number of seats and the period of use of the car. The regulation states that small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles have no usage age limit. New Scrapping Standards: According to the regulation, registered vehicles must be forcibly scrapped under the following circumstances: reaching the prescribed usage age; or failing to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles after repairs and adjustments.
