How Many Years Until a Diesel SUV is Scrapped?
1 Answers
Private vehicles (such as sedans, SUVs, and other small passenger cars) are not evaluated based on age but on mileage. If the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the vehicle is subject to mandatory scrapping, though the actual condition of the vehicle is also considered. For commercial vehicles, the scrapping period is 8 years. Each vehicle has a designated scrapping timeline from the moment of purchase, as specified by national transportation authorities. This system regulates vehicle safety inspections based on seating capacity and usage duration. Additional details: 1. Trucks with trailers, specialized mining vehicles, mini trucks, and all types of taxis have a service life of 8 years. Upon reaching the scrapping period, their use cannot be extended. 2. Non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including sedans and off-road models) have a service life of 15 years. If the vehicle meets scrapping standards but the owner wishes to continue using it, no approval is required. However, it must pass an inspection and undergo two annual inspections. After 20 years, the vehicle must undergo four annual inspections starting from the 21st year. 3. Light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks, tourist passenger vehicles, and non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats have a service life of 10 years. If the owner wishes to continue using the vehicle after it meets scrapping standards, an approval process is required, but the extension cannot exceed 10 years. Tourist passenger vehicles under extended use must undergo four annual inspections, while non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats must undergo two annual inspections. After 15 years, they must undergo four annual inspections starting from the 16th year.
