How Many Years Can a New Car Be Driven?
1 Answers
Generally, a car can be driven for up to 20 years. In China, private cars that have been in operation for 15 years require inspection every 6 months, twice a year, until they fail the inspection. Cars that have traveled 600,000 kilometers are unconditionally scrapped. Taxis can only be used for 8 years, small trucks for 12 years, and the longest service life is for large and medium-sized trucks, which can be used for 15 years. Below is an introduction to the annual inspection requirements for vehicles: 1. Passenger transport vehicles: inspected once a year within 5 years; after 5 years, inspected every 6 months; 2. Freight vehicles and large and medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles: inspected once a year within 10 years; after 10 years, inspected every 6 months; 3. Small and micro non-passenger transport vehicles: inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; after 6 years, inspected once a year; after 15 years, inspected every 6 months; 4. Motorcycles: inspected once every 2 years within 4 years; after 4 years, inspected once a year; 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: inspected once a year. If an operational motor vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period, it does not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections; 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age: cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first obtain the vehicle's scrapping certificate (deregistering the vehicle's file) from the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the transaction.
