How Many Years Until a Pickup Truck is Scrapped?
1 Answers
Pickup trucks are scrapped when they reach 15 years of service or accumulate 600,000 kilometers in mileage. Pickups are classified as light-duty trucks. However, some pickups with a covered cargo bed (i.e., those with a rear cover added) are categorized as multi-purpose passenger vehicles, allowing them to enjoy the same treatment as passenger cars and no longer be subject to mandatory scrapping timelines. Vehicle scrapping conditions include: 1. Severe vehicle damage or irreparable safety performance issues; 2. Obsolete models with no available spare parts; 3. Vehicles that are excessively aged and consume more than 15% of the fuel specified at the time of manufacture; 4. Vehicles that fail to meet safety standards despite multiple repairs and adjustments; 5. Vehicles that do not meet exhaust emission standards.
