How often should a 7-seater vehicle be inspected after six years?
2 Answers
After six years, a 7-seater vehicle should undergo an annual inspection every two years. For vehicles over 10 years old, the inspection is required once a year. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Introduction: The new inspection regulations include 7 to 9-seater non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) within the exemption scope for the first six years. For non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) over six years but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. 2. Note: At the 6th and 8th year, the vehicle must undergo an on-site inspection. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, meaning once a year for vehicles between 10 and 15 years old, and once every six months for vehicles over 15 years old. Motor vehicle safety inspection institutions must conduct inspections according to national safety standards and bear legal responsibility for the inspection results.
For seven-seater car owners, understanding the annual inspection rules in the first six years is crucial! According to traffic regulations I checked, during the first six years, you need to collect the inspection label every two years without an on-site test, but remember to apply for the electronic label via 12123. Things change from the seventh year onward – seven-seater vehicles aged six to ten years now require a biennial on-site inspection. My Odyssey, for example, just passed its eighth-year inspection this year. However, once a vehicle exceeds fifteen years, it reverts to annual inspections. Many inspection stations now offer appointment services. Just bring your vehicle license, compulsory insurance slip, and the owner's ID card, and you can get it done in half an hour – super convenient!
