How Often Do Small Cars Need to Undergo Inspection?

[VanAvery]

Small cars need to undergo an on-site inspection in the sixth year, while the first five years do not require an on-site inspection. Here are the relevant details: New car inspections are divided into two scenarios—one qualifies for a 6-year exemption, and the other requires an on-site inspection. The 6-year exemption policy, implemented nationwide on September 1, 2014, allows new cars meeting the following conditions to be exempt from inspection for 6 years: The vehicle must be a non-commercial vehicle. The vehicle must have a seating capacity of 6 or fewer people. Starting from November 20, 2020, small and micro passenger vehicles with 7–9 seats (excluding minivans) were included in the exemption scope. The vehicle type specified on the registration certificate must fall under the following categories: sedan (mini, small, medium, large), micro ordinary passenger vehicle, micro off-road passenger vehicle, small ordinary passenger vehicle, small off-road passenger vehicle, or small special-purpose passenger vehicle. The vehicle must have been registered within 4 years from the date of manufacture. Additionally, during the exemption period, the vehicle must not have been involved in any traffic accidents resulting in casualties.
