How often does a vehicle need an annual inspection?
1 Answers
The frequency of annual vehicle inspections varies by vehicle type: 1. Small private passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, but still require applying for an environmental protection label every two years; 2. Non-commercial small passenger vehicles need inspection every two years for the first six years, then annually from the 7th to 15th year; 3. Non-commercial medium/large passenger vehicles and trucks require annual inspection for the first ten years, then semi-annually from the 11th year onward; 4. Commercial vehicles need annual inspection for the first five years, then semi-annually from the 6th year onward. Important notes: Never exceed the inspection deadline - driving with an expired inspection is prohibited and may result in vehicle impoundment if caught by police, along with penalty points and fines when completing late inspection. Additionally, always check for any outstanding traffic violations before inspection, as unresolved violations will cause inspection failure.
