How Many Years Until a Vehicle is Mandatorily Scrapped?
1 Answers
For non-commercial small passenger vehicles, there is no mandatory scrapping age as long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection. However, when the vehicle's mileage exceeds 600,000 kilometers, it will be guided for scrapping. Once the vehicle reaches 15 years of age, the inspection interval is shortened to every 6 months. Below is additional information on vehicle scrapping: 1. The inspection cycle varies depending on the vehicle type and condition. For small private vehicles, inspections are required every 2 years within the first 6 years, annually from 6 to 15 years, and every 6 months after 15 years. It's important to note that 'exemption from inspection within 6 years' does not mean no annual inspection is required; it means exemption from the on-site inspection. 2. If the driver has poor driving habits or improper maintenance, and the vehicle fails to meet performance standards during inspection, it may be 'prematurely scrapped'.
