How Often Should a 5-Seater Vehicle Undergo Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
The annual inspection regulations for 5-seater passenger vehicles are as follows: 1. Non-commercial passenger vehicles: Within the first 6 years, inspection is required once every 2 years; after exceeding 6 years, inspection is required once every year; after exceeding 15 years, inspection is required twice every year. Regarding the exemption from inspection for new vehicles within the first 6 years, many people mistakenly believe that the vehicle does not need to undergo annual inspection at all. However, it is still necessary to go through the process every two years, but the vehicle itself does not need to undergo physical inspection—only obtaining the environmental protection label is required. 2. Commercial passenger vehicles: Within the first 5 years, inspection is required once every year; after exceeding 5 years, inspection is required once every 6 months. 3. Based on the registration date: The annual inspection time for motor vehicles is determined by the initial registration date of the vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is March 2016, then the annual inspection time would be every February. Additionally, according to Article 40 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. This means that vehicles scheduled for inspection in February can undergo the annual inspection in December, January, or February.
