In 2021, a 5-seater car is exempt from inspection within the first six years. After six years and up to fifteen years, it requires an annual inspection. After fifteen years, the inspection is required every six months. Vehicle Annual Inspection: This refers to a mandatory inspection for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle, conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Documents required for personal vehicles: Original ID card and a copy of both sides of the ID card; the original and duplicate pages of the vehicle's registration certificate; a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment; the vehicle to be inspected. Documents required for company vehicles: Business organization code certificate (with a fresh seal); the original and duplicate pages of the vehicle's registration certificate; a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment; a power of attorney (with a fresh seal); a copy of the agent's ID card; the vehicle to be inspected.

I own a 2021 five-seat private car mainly driven in the city, and the annual inspection process is quite straightforward. According to the policy, no on-site inspection is required for the first 6 years, but an online inspection compliance sticker must be obtained every two years. For example, a car purchased in 2021 needs this done in 2023, then again in 2025. Starting from 2027, the car must undergo an actual inspection at a testing station every two years, checking items like lights and brakes. Currently, I just handle the sticker application on my phone, saving time and effort, but it's important not to forget the deadlines to avoid potential fines—safety comes first. Making it a habit to check reminders on the traffic management app helps maintain good vehicle condition.

I'm quite interested in cars. The annual inspection cycle for that 2021 five-seater model is as follows: it enjoys exemption from on-site testing for the first 6 years, requiring only online application for inspection stickers every two years; after that, physical vehicle inspection is required biennially. This design balances convenience and safety, helping owners avoid initial hassles while paying more attention to mechanical conditions as the car ages. I've also noticed that timely inspections can detect emission issues early, reducing contributions to smog, so I recommend setting calendar reminders and not waiting until the last minute. Routine maintenance like oil changes can also be coordinated to keep the car running smoothly.

I just learned to drive, and my car is a 5-seater model bought in 2021. Initially, I didn't understand the annual inspection rules. Later, I found out that for the first 6 years, I only need to renew the inspection mark online every two years without taking the car to the inspection station, which is quite convenient. I set a phone reminder to avoid forgetting the dates. After learning to drive, I realized the importance of regular inspections, as failing to comply on time might affect insurance claims. I recommend that beginners use official apps to guide them through the process—it's simple and quick.
