How often should a new private car be inspected?
1 Answers
New private cars are exempt from inspection within the first 6 years; those over 6 years old require annual inspection; and vehicles exceeding 15 years must be inspected every 6 months. According to relevant regulations on motor vehicle annual inspections, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles only need to apply for an annual inspection decal at the vehicle management office every two years during the first 6 years, with mandatory on-site testing required only at the 6-year mark. Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, essentially serving as an annual physical examination for vehicles based on the technical safety requirements for motor vehicle operation. Regular vehicle inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage proper vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
