How Often Should a New Car Be Inspected?

[VanNora]

New car annual inspections are divided into two scenarios: one qualifies for a 6-year exemption, while the other requires on-site testing. Relevant details are as follows: 1. On-site testing: The 6-year exemption does not mean complete exemption in the true sense, but rather exempts the on-site testing (i.e., vehicle inspection) process. However, it is still necessary to apply for an annual inspection compliance sticker every two years, which can be done online. It's important to understand this distinction clearly—it's equivalent to enjoying two exemptions from on-site testing, but the sixth year still requires on-site annual inspection and application for the compliance sticker. 2. Exemption: Annual inspection consists of two parts. The first part involves going to an inspection station for vehicle checks (lights, tires, emissions, etc.), while the second part is essentially receiving the annual inspection sticker, with the prerequisite being passing the first part. In this sense, the exemption simply skips the first part and goes directly to the second part.
