How Often Should a New Vehicle Undergo Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
New vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, only requiring the collection of an annual inspection decal every two years. After six years, an annual inspection is required once every year. For vehicles over 15 years old, inspections are required every six months. Below is relevant information regarding new vehicle inspections: 1. Legal Basis: Article 13 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that motor vehicles registered for road use must undergo regular safety technical inspections based on factors such as vehicle purpose, passenger and cargo capacity, and service life, in accordance with laws and administrative regulations. 2. Notes: The exemption only applies to on-site inspections. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the stipulated period are not subject to repeated inspections.
I just started driving not long ago, and I remember when buying a new car, the salesman said the first six years would be particularly hassle-free. You don’t need to go to the inspection station every year; just apply for an exemption decal on the mobile app every two years. The first time was a bit chaotic, but I quickly got the hang of it. The advantage is saving time and money. New cars have advanced systems that can self-monitor, so there’s no need to frequently check things like the exhaust pipe. I recommend everyone to do it on time to avoid last-minute fines or issues with insurance claims. The current new car policies are really user-friendly, making it easy for beginners like me to handle. Just keep an eye on the traffic management news platform regularly.
