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

Ordinary vehicles do not have a mandatory scrapping period. The criteria for scrapping ordinary vehicles are as follows: if the vehicle still fails to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles after repairs and adjustments; or if the emissions or noise still do not comply with national standards after repairs, adjustments, or the application of control technologies. The scrapping process is as follows: Documents required for vehicle scrapping: Vehicle license; vehicle registration certificate; license plates; for company vehicles, an organizational code certificate (copy) with the official seal; for personal vehicles, the owner's ID card; documentation for accident vehicles; for company vehicles, the "Motor Vehicle Deregistration Application Form" and "Scrapped Vehicle Certificate" must bear the official seal (matching the name on the vehicle license), while personal vehicle owners must sign these documents. Vehicle scrapping process: Apply at the registration and acceptance counter, where a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, the motor vehicle inspection counter will assess and issue a "Motor Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if the vehicle meets the scrapping standards; the vehicle owner then chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle; the recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut; the vehicle owner submits the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates are then recycled, and the scrapping registration is processed after approval according to regulations.
