How often are new cars inspected?
1 Answers
Private cars used within 6 years (excluding those with 7 seats or fewer) are exempt from inspection. Therefore, new cars still require biennial inspection, but this is to avoid the two mandatory on-road inspections in the second and fourth years. Each year, you only need to submit the vehicle and vessel tax declaration form and compulsory traffic insurance proof. After handling any travel accidents and traffic violations, you can directly receive the inspection compliance mark. Note that if a traffic accident resulting in casualties occurs during this period, the vehicle must still undergo inspection as per the original regulations (i.e., on-road inspection). Additionally, private cars from 6 to 15 years old require annual inspections, and those over 15 years old require semi-annual inspections. New cars eligible for the 6-year exemption only need an on-road test in the sixth year to obtain the annual inspection mark, with two opportunities for on-road testing during the 6-year period. Thus, if you own an exempted new car, you only need to obtain the biennial inspection mark during the exemption period and are not required to undergo on-road testing. For vehicles not meeting the exemption criteria, annual inspections must follow the relevant regulations for motor vehicle inspections (on-road test + annual inspection standards).
