How many years can a China 5 vehicle be used?

As long as it passes the vehicle inspection, it can be driven until it is no longer operable. Even with the introduction of China 6, it has no impact on the service life of already sold China 5 vehicles. The implementation of China 6 is only to regulate automakers, requiring them to produce and sell vehicles that meet the "China 6" standard. This has little to do with consumers buying or choosing cars. Therefore, there is no difference in the service life between China 5, China 6 (or even China 4) vehicles. The relevant introduction to vehicle emissions is as follows: Vehicle emission standards: These refer to regulations on the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle waste, such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulates, soot). Implementation sequence: China first implemented the China 1 emission standard, followed by China 2, China 3, China 4, China 5, and China 6. Each upgrade in emission standards significantly reduces vehicle exhaust emissions. From the past standards up to China 5, each increase in standards reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%.
