How often are double-row new vehicles inspected?
2 Answers
Double-row new vehicles are generally inspected once a year. Materials required for vehicle inspection include: Original compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, safety technical inspection qualification certificate, original and photocopy of vehicle driving license, vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate, original and photocopy of road maintenance fee payment receipt. Vehicle annual inspection time limits: Operational passenger vehicles within 5 years are inspected once a year; if exceeding 5 years, inspected every 6 months; trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles within 10 years are inspected once a year; small/mini non-operational passenger vehicles within 6 years are inspected once every 2 years, etc.
I think driving a brand-new double-row vehicle is really quite simple, like an SUV or a van. When you first buy it, the policies are quite user-friendly. For the first six years after new car registration, you basically only need an inspection every two years. But be aware, this inspection can be done online—no need to visit a testing station. Just tap a few times on a mobile app to apply for an exemption inspection sticker, and you're done. Why this arrangement? Because new car parts are fresh and new, like brakes and tires, which are less likely to have issues. The policy is designed to save car owners time and effort. After six years, you’ll need to go for an on-site inspection, once or twice a year depending on the situation, because older cars carry higher risks. If you buy a used car or a modified one, inspections might become more frequent. Overall, the first six years are hassle-free and cost-saving. Later on, during inspections, it’s recommended to do a minor service in advance—checking details like lights and brakes—so you don’t overlook anything and fail the inspection, forcing you to retake it. Remember, don’t miss the deadlines, or you’ll face fines and penalty points—a whole lot of trouble.
