How often does a new 7-seater vehicle require an annual inspection?
2 Answers
A new 7-seater vehicle requires an inspection every two years, while commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first five years. Below are the key points to note for the annual inspection: Content: (1) Inspect the engine, chassis, and related equipment: Check if the equipment is clean, complete, and functional, if the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, if any major assemblies have been replaced, and if the records match the initial inspection; (2) Test the vehicle's braking and steering performance: Ensure that the lights, exhaust, and other safety features meet the technical requirements for safe vehicle operation. Inspection Procedures: (1) The vehicle owner or organization must fill out the annual vehicle inspection form: Submit the vehicle to the designated location for inspection on the date specified by the local vehicle management office. Upon passing the inspection, the vehicle management authority will stamp the vehicle's registration and the annual inspection form; (2) For vehicles that cannot undergo inspection due to long-term absence, the owner must submit an application: Request the local vehicle management office to conduct the inspection on behalf of the original registration office, and notify the original office of the results after inspection.
I recently bought a new 7-seater car and was concerned about the annual inspection. After consulting the 4S store salesperson, I learned that for the first six years after new car registration, there's no need for an on-site inspection. Instead, you can simply apply for the inspection sticker every two years via the Traffic Management 12123 App, which saves time and effort. After six years, the car must undergo an annual on-site inspection, including checks on lights and brakes. It's recommended that new car owners regularly check the date reminders on their vehicle license to avoid missing deadlines, which could lead to fines or compromise vehicle safety. The spacious 7-seater is great for family trips, and timely annual inspections ensure worry-free travel.
