How Many Years Does a Car Generally Need to Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The usable lifespan of a car is not determined by its age, but rather by its mileage. The government will recommend scrapping a car once it reaches 600,000 kilometers. The driving habits of the owner also significantly impact the vehicle's lifespan. Maintaining good driving habits not only reduces wear and tear but also saves fuel. Gentle driving, gradual acceleration, and anticipating braking can help avoid sudden stops. In cold weather, warming up the car beforehand allows the lubricant to circulate freely throughout the system, ensuring all internal components are adequately lubricated. The criteria for scrapping a vehicle include: reaching the specified usage period, failing to meet the national safety technical standards for motor vehicles in use, continuing to emit pollutants or noise that do not comply with national standards for vehicles in use, and not obtaining the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark within three inspection cycles.
