How often should a 7-seater vehicle be inspected?

Non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats that are within 6 years of age are included in the exemption range. For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Vehicles over 15 years old must be inspected every 6 months. Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 5 years. Tractors and other motor vehicles must be inspected once a year. Below are the classifications of driving licenses: 1. A1 license: Can drive large buses and A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M. 2. A2 license: Can drive tractors and B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M. 3. A3 license: Can drive city buses and C1, C2, C3, C4. 4. B1 license: Can drive medium-sized buses and C1, C2, C3, C4, M (medium-sized buses refer to those with fewer than 19 seats, such as minibuses and vans). 5. C1 license: Can drive C2, C3, C4.
I've done specialized research on this. Currently, the annual inspection policies for private 7-seater and 5-seater vehicles are the same, which is particularly hassle-free. New cars don't need on-site inspection for the first six years, but you must apply for the inspection mark every two years via the 12123 APP. Starting from the sixth year, vehicles require on-site inspection, and then every two years within the following ten years. For example, my family's 7-seater SUV just turned six years old. It cost over 400 yuan to take it to the inspection station, where they mainly checked the brakes, lights, and emissions. Remember, after ten years, inspections become annual, and after fifteen years, you'll need to visit the inspection station every six months. Last time, my neighbor's old GL8 had to go through this process every half year.
