[SanHarley]

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as small and micro non-commercial vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle and photograph the vehicle 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 must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the case will be submitted for approval to complete the scrapping registration. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner can submit the vehicle for scrapping to a local recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) the owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
