Can I drive my car to the inspection if it has passed the inspection deadline?

If your car has passed the inspection deadline, you cannot drive it to the inspection. You must arrange for a tow truck to transport it to the inspection site, as driving the vehicle yourself for inspection is not allowed. It is crucial to complete the vehicle annual inspection procedures within the specified timeframe. If the inspection is overdue for three years, the car will be deregistered and forcibly scrapped. Driving a scrapped vehicle will result in a penalty of 12 points deducted from your driver's license. The annual inspection includes the following items: 1. Emission test: This is the first step of the inspection, primarily checking if the emissions meet the standards. 2. Violation check: Verifying if the owner has any outstanding traffic violations. 3. Exterior inspection: Checking if the car's lights, suspension, sunroof, tires, and other exterior components remain unchanged. 4. On-road test: Inspecting the car's braking system, control system, lights, chassis, and other components.

Does it matter if the brake fluid hasn't been changed for seven years?

Brake fluid replacement must strictly follow the maintenance manual requirements and should not be overdue. Prolonged use beyond the recommended period will affect the performance of the brake fluid and may compromise the safety of the braking system. Here's how to determine when to replace brake fluid: 1. Moisture content: The replacement cycle varies by vehicle model, so always refer to the maintenance manual. A moisture content of 1% is normal, while 3% generally suggests replacement is needed, and 5% requires immediate replacement. 2. Color: Qualified brake fluid is slightly yellow. If the brake fluid becomes cloudy or black, it must be replaced.
