How often should a 12-year-old vehicle undergo annual inspection?
2 Answers
A 12-year-old vehicle requires an annual inspection once every year. Below is more information about vehicle annual inspections: Definition: National regulations stipulate that motor vehicles must regularly pass inspections including exhaust emissions, vehicle appearance, lights, brakes, chassis, etc., and obtain an inspection compliance mark provided there are no traffic violation records. All annual inspection dates are based on the registration date listed on the vehicle's license. From the date of registration, motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods, commonly referred to as "annual inspection" or "annual review." Purpose: Vehicle annual inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
My 12-year-old buddy has to go through annual inspection every year, that's the rule. As cars age, components like brakes and lights tend to develop issues, and the inspection helps identify potential hazards in time to avoid accidents on the road. From personal experience, one year I forgot to go on time and nearly had a close call on the highway because the brake pads were nearly worn out. Since then, I've made sure to visit the inspection station punctually every year. By the way, it's good to regularly check things like headlight brightness and brake pedal feel - paying attention to these small details makes passing inspection easier. Bottom line: safety first, no slacking.
