How often should a 7-year-old private car undergo annual inspection?
1 Answers
A 7-year-old private car requires an annual inspection once every year. After exceeding 15 years, it must be inspected every 6 months. Inspection frequency requirements for other vehicles: Operational passenger vehicles within 5 years must undergo inspection once annually; after exceeding 5 years, every 6 months. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles within 10 years require annual inspection; after exceeding 10 years, every 6 months. Imported vehicles follow the same rules as other vehicle types and can undergo regular inspections at any testing facility. Specific inspection items include: Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and functional; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match initial inspection records; verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with technical requirements for safe operation; examining whether the vehicle has undergone modifications or alterations, and whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the current condition and have proper approval for changes; inspecting whether license plates, driving licenses, and enlarged license plate markings show damage, tampering, or illegibility, and whether replacement is needed.
