How often should a new motorcycle be inspected?
2 Answers
For a newly purchased and registered motorcycle, the inspection is required every two years for the first four years, and then annually starting from the fifth year. Annual Inspection: For the annual inspection, you only need to drive the motorcycle and bring the original ID card of the owner, the original vehicle registration certificate, the tax payment certificate for vehicle and vessel tax, and the compulsory insurance policy of the vehicle to a qualified local institution to complete the inspection. Introduction: Motor vehicle drivers must undergo regular inspections at the traffic management department of the public security authority in accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations. When motor vehicle drivers renew their driving licenses in accordance with Articles 57 and 58 of these regulations, they must also undergo inspection by the traffic management department of the public security authority.
Last time when I accompanied my friend to register his newly purchased motorcycle, the traffic police officer at the DMV specifically reminded us that new vehicles within 6 years enjoy the benefit of exemption from on-site inspection, but every two years, we must apply for the electronic inspection mark through the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Remember to operate on the phone in the second and fourth years after the first registration date, and don't foolishly wait for the paper notice. The key point is that this exemption only applies to new vehicles purchased after October 2022; for vehicles bought earlier, the cycle must be calculated based on the registration date. You need to bring the insurance policy and the owner's ID card to upload, and the system review is instant and very convenient, which can be handled at any DMV nationwide.
