How often should a 6-seater new car undergo annual inspection?
1 Answers
Non-commercial 6-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, then inspected every two years from six to ten years. Vehicles over ten years old require annual inspection, and those over 15 years old must be inspected every six months. Commercial 6-seater vehicles must be inspected annually within the first five years, and every six months thereafter. Required documents for vehicle inspection include the vehicle's registration certificate, valid compulsory insurance policy, the owner's ID card, and all outstanding traffic violations must be cleared in advance. Additional notes: Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first ten years, and every six months thereafter. Motorcycles must be inspected every two years within the first four years, and annually thereafter. Vehicle inspection mainly includes the following items: Exterior inspection: Checks include vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires. It verifies if the lights are functioning properly, if the body color has been changed, and if the suspension has been modified. Emission test: Checks if the vehicle's exhaust emissions meet national standards during high-speed operation. On-road test: Primarily checks the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: All outstanding traffic violations must be resolved before the vehicle can pass inspection. Vehicle inspection can be conducted up to 90 days in advance, but must not be overdue. According to Article 47, Paragraph 4 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Management Regulations," vehicles that fail to undergo safety technical inspection within the specified period will be issued a warning or fined by the traffic management department. The inspection can only proceed after the fine is paid. Vehicles that fail to undergo inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving a vehicle without timely inspection results in 3 penalty points and a fine. If an uninspected vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the owner bears full or primary liability, and insurance companies will not cover the damages. Driving without timely inspection is considered illegal and may result in vehicle impoundment.
