For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage lifespan limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide for scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping time limits as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping limit of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping limit of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping limit of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping limit of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. The registration department accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping limit, after inspection and confirmation that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" is issued. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". 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 owner submits the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Inspection Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos. After verification and signature by the inspection department, the license plates are reclaimed, and the scrapping registration is processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot return to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrapping time limit. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after transferring or deregistering a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number for a new vehicle registration. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) submitted within six months after transfer or deregistration; (2) the owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
