How Many Years of Inspection Exemption for New Cars?
1 Answers
New cars are exempt from inspection for 6 years. Below are the relevant details about annual inspections: 1. For new cars that qualify for the 6-year exemption, an on-site inspection is only required in the sixth year to obtain the annual inspection sticker. During the 6-year period, owners can enjoy two opportunities to skip the on-site vehicle inspection. Therefore, if you own a new car that qualifies for the exemption, you only need to collect the annual inspection sticker every two years during the exemption period, without needing to undergo on-site inspection. If the vehicle does not meet the exemption requirements, then the relevant regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections must be followed (on-site inspection + obtaining the annual inspection sticker). 2. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies: vehicles aged between 10 and 15 years must undergo inspection once a year, while vehicles over 15 years old must be inspected every six months. 3. The owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection compliance sticker at the local vehicle management office within 3 months before the expiration of the current inspection validity period.
