How often should a passenger car be inspected after 6 years?
2 Answers
After a passenger car reaches 6 years, it requires an annual inspection and must also undergo a testing line inspection. For passenger transport vehicles: Within 5 years, inspect once a year; after 5 years, inspect every 6 months. For cargo vehicles and non-passenger transport vehicles: Cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles should be inspected once a year within 10 years; after 10 years, inspect every 6 months. For non-passenger transport vehicles: Small and micro non-passenger transport vehicles should be inspected every 2 years within 6 years; after 6 years, inspect once a year; after 15 years, inspect every 6 months. For motorcycles: Motorcycles should be inspected every 2 years within 4 years; after 4 years, inspect once a year.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I'm well aware of the annual inspection rule requiring cars to be checked every year after six years of service. This is due to increased aging risks - issues like brake wear or lighting malfunctions can cause accidents. I remember once forgetting an inspection and getting fined while wasting time, so I now set phone reminders. Annual inspections aren't just about regulations - they're crucial for daily safety. I recommend visiting a repair shop for pre-checks a week early to ensure lighting and emissions compliance, avoiding repeated trips. Many inspection stations now offer online appointments for convenience. While inspection fees are modest, timely compliance prevents hassles. Well-maintained vehicles pass inspections smoothly, giving everyone peace of mind.
