How often should a closed van be inspected?

For the first six years after a new vehicle is registered, it requires inspection every two years; after six years, annual inspection is required; after fifteen years, biannual inspection is necessary. Below is relevant information about vehicle scrapping: 1. Required documents for vehicle scrapping: Private vehicles require the owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle license plate; for company vehicles, an organization code certificate with official seal is needed; accident vehicles require supporting documentation. 2. Mandatory scrapping after missing three consecutive inspection cycles: According to the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," if a vehicle fails to obtain a valid inspection mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the inspection validity period expires, it must be mandatorily scrapped. Driving a forcibly scrapped vehicle on the road will result in severe penalties for the driver, including fines and revocation of driving privileges.
I've talked with several friends who drive enclosed vans, and we all agree that the annual inspection is a mandatory routine. These vehicles are often used for transporting goods or passengers, classified as commercial vehicles, and traffic regulations require them to undergo annual inspections starting from the year of purchase. I must remind you that during the inspection, the focus is on the braking system, lights, tire wear, and emission standards. Especially for those of us who frequently drive long distances, rapid tire wear can lead to accidents if not replaced in time. It's advisable to make an appointment with the DMV in advance and bring your vehicle registration and insurance policy to avoid long queues. Once, I forgot about the inspection and delayed it for half a month, resulting in a fine of over 200 yuan and penalty points—I regretted it so much. Timely inspections aren't just about avoiding fines; they're crucial for ensuring safe driving. With stricter electronic monitoring now, you'll receive SMS reminders as soon as your inspection is overdue. Don't take chances—delaying only leads to more hassle and repair costs.
