How Many Years Does It Take for a Private Car to Require Biannual Inspections?
1 Answers
After 15 years. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles require inspection once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once every year; and after 15 years, once every 6 months. Vehicles can undergo inspection and apply for annual review within 3 months before the annual inspection date. The mandatory vehicle inspection is broadly divided into three steps: visual inspection, on-site testing, and final review by the supervisor. The visual inspection includes verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, brand and model, color, engine number, VIN code, chassis number, and key technical parameters. Inspecting the vehicle's exterior: This involves checking details such as the bumper, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, and paintwork. Typically, tinted windows are required to have sections cut out in unappealing shapes at this stage to ensure proper rearview mirror visibility. The inspection also covers the engine compartment, driver's cabin, engine operation status, lighting signals, interior details (for passenger vehicles), and wheels. Once all items are verified, the inspection report can be issued. The annual review involves validating vehicle documentation, such as checking for unpaid traffic violations or overdue inspections.
