How often should a car over 6 years old undergo annual inspection?
1 Answers
For cars over 6 years old, the annual inspection is required every two years. The time regulation for annual inspection: The first annual inspection for a passenger car is conducted when it reaches six years. Non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles, including family cars over 6 years but less than 10 years old, need to undergo annual inspection every two years. For a car that has just reached six years, the annual inspection requires driving the vehicle to the inspection station with the ID card, vehicle license, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy for vehicle inspection. After passing the inspection, a certification form will be issued, and finally, this form along with the carried documents should be taken to the relevant window to receive the annual inspection label. The procedure for annual inspection: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an online inspection. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check whether the exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis meet the standards. Only when all items pass can the vehicle be approved. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the correctness of the vehicle license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the body appearance is inspected, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirror, lower mirror, window glass, paint surface, engine operation condition, and the interior of the passenger car and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and inspection application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and receive the vehicle license and qualification label. If there are any failed items, the owner must repair them and participate in a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.
