How often should a new motorcycle be inspected?
1 Answers
Motorcycles should be inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; after exceeding 4 years, they must be inspected annually. Specifically, after a new motorcycle is registered, it requires biennial inspections for the first four years, followed by annual inspections thereafter. Under normal circumstances, motorcycles are scrapped after 10 years. However, if the vehicle condition is good and passes inspection, the service life can be extended for up to 3 additional years, resulting in a maximum mandatory scrapping period of 13 years. Below are the relevant regulations: According to Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following intervals from the date of registration: For passenger vehicles used for commercial purposes: Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after exceeding 5 years, inspections are required every 6 months. For cargo vehicles: Cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after exceeding 10 years, inspections are required every 6 months.
