How Often Should a Newly Purchased Two-Wheeled Motorcycle Be Inspected?
2 Answers
For motorcycles within the first 4 years of purchase, inspections are required every 2 years; for those over 4 years old, annual inspections are necessary. Vehicle inspections also require specific documents. Documents to Bring: Vehicle registration certificate, copy of the compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance policy, ID card of the person conducting the inspection, warning triangle, and fire extinguisher. (Vehicle violations must be resolved, and no modifications to the vehicle body are allowed.) Document Details: The compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance policy consists of an original and a copy. The copy must be submitted during the inspection and will be retained by the inspection agency. The ID card required is that of the person who drives the vehicle to the inspection. Important Notes: Resolve any traffic violations before the inspection. If there are outstanding violations, the vehicle will not pass the inspection as the traffic management office will check for unresolved violations.
I just bought a two-wheeled motorcycle and remember that the inspection process is quite hassle-free in the first few years. Generally, you need to apply for an annual inspection every two years after registration. For the first five times or so, you can handle it online without an on-site inspection, but starting from the sixth year, you’ll need an annual on-site inspection. This cycle is mainly to ensure the vehicle’s safety, such as checking if the brakes, lights, etc., are functioning properly. It’s advisable to check if your insurance is up to date before each inspection and renew it simultaneously to avoid hassle and potential fines on the road. You can easily book an appointment via a mobile app in just a few minutes, so it won’t interfere with your weekend joyrides.
