How Many Years Can a Commercial-to-Private Vehicle Be Driven?

[LeSarah]

The number of years a commercial-to-private vehicle can be driven varies depending on the type of vehicle. For example, if it is a taxi, the duration is 8 years; if it is a training vehicle, it is 10 years. After 8 or 10 years, if the vehicle is in good condition and meets the standards, an additional 5 years can be applied for. Below is additional information: 1. If the additional 5 years are approved: The actual duration will be extended to 13 years and 15 years, respectively. However, the aforementioned durations of 8, 10, 13, and 15 years represent the maximum usage period. For instance, if a taxi is converted to private use after 5 years of operation, without accounting for the additional 5-year application, the remaining usable time would be 3 years. The actual driving duration depends on the vehicle's condition and mileage. 2. If the additional 5-year application is successful: During those 5 years, the vehicle must undergo an inspection every six months; if the vehicle's mileage reaches 400,000 kilometers, it will be mandatorily scrapped. Similarly, if the vehicle's condition is poor and fails to meet the relevant fuel efficiency and mechanical performance standards even after major repairs, it will also be mandatorily scrapped.
