[VanNevaeh]

Non-commercial 7-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years. According to Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": The vehicle inspection requires the following documents: the vehicle's driving license, valid compulsory insurance policy, the owner's ID card, and all traffic violation records must be cleared in advance. Safety technical inspections should be conducted within the following periods: Commercial passenger vehicles: once a year within 5 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles: once a year within 10 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Small/mini non-commercial passenger vehicles: once every 2 years within 6 years; once a year after exceeding 6 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Motorcycles: once every 2 years within 4 years; once a year after exceeding 4 years. Tractors and other vehicles: once a year. Commercial vehicles must undergo annual inspection within the specified period. Vehicle inspection mainly includes the following items: Appearance inspection: mainly checking vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires. It verifies if lights are functioning properly, if the body color has been changed, and if the suspension has been modified. Emission test: checks whether the vehicle's tailpipe emissions meet national standards during high-speed operation. On-line inspection: mainly examines the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: all traffic violation records must be cleared before the inspection to pass. Vehicle inspection can be conducted up to 90 days in advance but must not be overdue. According to Article 47(4) of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Management Measures", vehicles that fail to undergo safety technical inspection within the specified period will be warned or fined by the traffic management department, and the inspection can only proceed after paying the fine. Consequences of overdue inspection: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection on time cannot be driven on the road. Driving an overdue vehicle will result in 3 penalty points and a fine. If an accident occurs involving an uninspected vehicle, the party will bear full or primary liability, and the insurance company will not compensate. Driving an overdue vehicle is considered illegal and may result in vehicle impoundment. For commercial vehicles, the inspection includes: Vehicle technical grade assessment, passenger vehicle type rating, secondary maintenance status, structural dimension changes, installation and use of driving recorders or onboard satellite monitoring terminals, commercial vehicle operator liability insurance status, road transport violation records, vehicle technical file establishment and improvement, etc. For hazardous material transport vehicles, additional checks include emergency equipment, safety protection, environmental protection, firefighting facilities, and tank quality inspection.
