How Many Years Can a Sedan Generally Last?
1 Answers
Generally speaking, 15 years is a threshold. Specific details are as follows: 1. Age of Use: The current traffic laws have introduced new regulations regarding the service life of vehicles. For non-commercial vehicles, if the car has been in use for more than 15 years, the owner needs to undergo an annual inspection at the vehicle management office every six months. 2. Mileage Use: There are also regulations on mileage. It is stipulated that if a passenger car's mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, it must be forcibly scrapped! The economic service life of a car is between 300,000 to 500,000 kilometers. Currently in China, the economic service life of low-end cars is about 220,000 kilometers, mid-range cars exceed 300,000 kilometers, and high-end cars reach nearly 400,000 kilometers. 3. Improper Use: Some people can drive their cars for 500,000 to 600,000 kilometers without any issues, while others may need major repairs before reaching 100,000 kilometers. Whether driving habits are proper or not directly affects the lifespan of the car. Practices like "turning the steering wheel to the limit," "suddenly flooring the accelerator," and "slamming on the brakes" are driving styles favored by many people.
