How Often Should a Car Be Inspected?
1 Answers
For commercial passenger vehicles within 5 years, an annual inspection is required. If the vehicle is over 5 years old, it must be inspected every 6 months. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles within 10 years, an annual inspection is required. If the vehicle is over 10 years old, it must be inspected every 6 months. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles within 6 years, an inspection is required every 2 years. If the vehicle is over 6 years old, an annual inspection is required. If the vehicle is over 15 years old, it must be inspected every 6 months. Annual Inspection Process: Check for any violation records and handle any traffic violations. Prepare the vehicle registration certificate and the original and copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy. If the policy is due to expire within 15 days, make sure to renew it before the inspection. Inspect the vehicle condition, clean the engine compartment and the entire car, and ensure the exterior matches the vehicle registration certificate. Window tinting does not need to be removed (silver reflective film is not allowed). Go to the nearest inspection station's registration window to collect the "Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Record Form" and fill in details such as the license plate number, vehicle model, and inspection date. Then, take an imprint of the engine number under the hood. Conduct an external vehicle inspection: Drive the car to the external inspection area, open the engine hood, and submit the vehicle registration certificate and the "Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Record Form." Briefly verify the engine number, chassis number, and license plate number to complete the external inspection. After completing the above steps, return to the "Log-in" counter in the service hall to complete the online log-in procedure and collect the inspection magnetic card. Then proceed to the online inspection: Hand the inspection record form to the inspector, who will drive the car into the inspection workshop. The inspection covers exhaust emissions, handbrake, lights, and brakes, taking about 10 minutes. Wait at the other end of the inspection line, and drive the car away after the inspector completes the inspection. Return to the "Log-in" counter in the service hall to return the inspection magnetic card and collect the vehicle inspection results: "Online Inspection Passed." Submit the following documents at the "Inspection" window: Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Record Form, vehicle inspection results, copy of ID card, and copy of compulsory traffic insurance policy. Check the traffic violation records, and if everything is in order, receive the approval stamp.
