How often do private cars need to undergo inspection?
1 Answers
Motor vehicle inspection schedules are determined based on the vehicle type. Except for passenger cars exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, other vehicle types must undergo inspections according to their designated schedules. Here are the relevant inspection regulations: 1. Operational passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 5 years; every 6 months after reaching or exceeding 5 years. 2. Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 10 years; every 6 months after reaching or exceeding 10 years. 3. Motorcycles: Inspection every 2 years for the first 4 years; annual inspection after reaching or exceeding 4 years. 4. Special school buses: Inspection every 6 months from registration date. 5. Non-special school buses: Inspection every 6 months after obtaining school bus plates. 6. Other motor vehicles: Annual inspection. 7. Starting November 20, as per the Ministry of Public Security's unified deployment, Beijing traffic authorities have expanded the exemption scope to include 7-9 seat non-operational mini/micro passenger vehicles (excluding vans) within 6 years, building upon the existing exemption for 6-seat and below non-operational mini/micro passenger vehicles (excluding vans). For biennial inspections, vehicle owners can directly apply for inspection labels from traffic management authorities by submitting compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificates and vehicle tax payment/exemption proofs, without requiring physical safety inspections.
