How often should a new 7-seater vehicle undergo annual inspection?

For a new 7-seater vehicle, it should be inspected every 2 years within the first 6 years, annually after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Below is relevant information about 7-seater vehicle inspections: Documents required for 7-seater vehicle annual inspection: Owner's ID card; Original vehicle license; Valid compulsory traffic insurance policy; Current year's vehicle and vessel tax payment (or exemption) certificate (usually included in the compulsory insurance policy). Regulations for 7-seater vehicle annual inspection: Non-commercial passenger vehicles, including non-commercial cars, small and micro passenger vehicles, but excluding vans and models with 7 seats or more (such as Odyssey, GL8, Highlander 7-seater, etc.), cannot enjoy the exemption policy. New vehicles within 6 years are exempt from on-site inspection but need to apply for inspection stickers every 2 years; eligible private cars registered after September 2012 can enjoy the exemption policy, requiring annual inspection thereafter. Vehicles aged 6 to 15 years require annual on-site inspection, while those over 15 years need semi-annual on-site inspection.

I've been driving a 7-seater for several years. The first six years with a new car are really hassle-free, no need to visit the inspection station annually for on-site checks, but you do have to apply for an inspection label online or through the traffic management app every two years. Just remember to do it on time because this is mainly to verify vehicle information and ensure there are no major issues. By the sixth year, it's time for on-site inspections, testing things like lights and brakes—safety is no joke. Between six to ten years of age, inspections are required every two years. Once the car is over ten years old, it needs an annual inspection. Don't forget the deadlines—my neighbor delayed once and not only got fined but also saw an increase in insurance premiums. Taking good care of your new car makes inspections go smoother.

As a young person who recently bought a 7-seater MPV, it's super convenient—for the first six years, I only need to apply for the inspection sticker every two years without an on-site check. Just download the 12123 app, submit the documents online, and get it mailed home. Only by the sixth year do I need to go to the inspection station. After that, as the car gets older, inspections are required every two years. It saves money and time while ensuring safety. I usually pay attention to the car's condition, fixing minor issues like tires and lights myself to pass the inspection in one go. Just remember the deadlines to avoid fines. The policies have improved—7-seaters used to face stricter rules, but now it's almost as easy as regular cars.

From a safety perspective, for a new 7-seater vehicle, the inspection emblem can be applied for every two years within the first six years without an on-site inspection, with the focus being on verifying identity and basic information. Starting from the sixth year, on-site testing is mandatory to comprehensively check systems such as braking and steering to ensure reliability. From six to ten years, inspections are required every two years, and for vehicles over ten years old, annual inspections are necessary. Annual inspections are not just a regulatory requirement but are crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of oneself and others. Before the inspection, checking the vehicle's lights and tire pressure can help pass smoothly. Never skip it for the sake of convenience, as the consequences of an accident could be worse.

For our family's 7-seater SUV used frequently for transporting kids, the new car's annual inspection is relatively hassle-free in the initial years. For the first six years, you only need to apply for the inspection sticker every two years by filling out forms online, eliminating the need for in-person visits. However, by the sixth year, the vehicle must undergo an on-site inspection, which includes checks on brakes and emissions. After that, inspections are required every two years. With children's safety as the top priority, timely annual inspections ensure vehicle performance and prevent breakdowns on the road. Plan your schedule wisely to avoid penalties for expired inspections. Regular car cleaning helps maintain good condition for smoother inspections. The reasonable inspection frequency provides peace of mind for car owners, especially when traveling with the whole family.
