How often should a 7-seater MPV be inspected?
1 Answers
7-seater MPVs fall under the category of small passenger vehicles, and their inspection frequency should be determined based on the vehicle's age: 1. For non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (including 7-seaters) within the first 6 years: exempt from annual inspection. 2. After exceeding 6 years: For vehicles aged between 6-10 years, only 2 on-site inspections are required (in the 6th and 8th year respectively). For vehicles over 10 years old: annual inspection is required. For vehicles over 15 years old: semi-annual inspection is required. Additional information about MPVs: 1. Introduction: MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) evolved from station wagons, combining the spaciousness of wagons, comfort of sedans, and functionality of vans. Typically featuring a two-box design, they can accommodate 7-8 passengers. 2. Structural basis: Most MPVs use car platforms with transverse front-mounted engines and monocoque body design. The cabin features flexible seating arrangements where all or partial seats can be folded down. MPV body designs often incorporate low-drag aerodynamic styling elements from racing cars.
