How often should a passenger car undergo annual inspection?

For passenger cars within 5 years, an annual inspection is required once every year; for those over 5 years, an inspection is required once every 6 months. Below is an introduction to the knowledge about passenger car annual inspections: 1. Inspection scope: The exemption range for private cars has been expanded to include non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) with 7-9 seats within 6 years. After exceeding 6 years, the inspection cycle for 7-seater cars is as follows: for those over 6 years but less than 10 years, only 2 on-site inspections are required, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. For cars over 10 years, an annual inspection is required once every year, and for those over 15 years, an inspection is required once every 6 months. 2. Required documents: The documents needed for the annual inspection include the owner's ID card; the original vehicle registration certificate; the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy; and the current year's vehicle and vessel tax payment (or exemption) certificate (the vehicle and vessel tax certificate is generally included in the compulsory traffic insurance policy).

Last month, I just took our family's old car for its annual inspection. Here's how it works for private vehicles now: brand-new cars don't need to go through on-site inspection for the first 6 years, but you must apply for an electronic inspection label via the traffic management app 12123 every 2 years. The first comprehensive inspection at a testing station is required in the 6th year, followed by biennial inspections. Once the vehicle reaches 10 years old, it must undergo annual inspections. Important reminder: vehicles involved in casualty accidents or caught with illegal modifications must stick to their original inspection cycles. You can check the next inspection date on the traffic management app, and you'll also receive SMS reminders when it's due.

A colleague asked about this the other day. Simply put, private car annual inspections are divided into three stages: For new cars within six years, you just need to move your fingers every two years to apply for an electronic inspection mark on a mobile app. Once the car reaches six years, it must be driven to the inspection station, and then inspected every two years. When your beloved car becomes an old car over ten years, it needs to undergo an annual inspection. Remember to bring the vehicle license and compulsory traffic insurance policy, and it's best to clear all traffic violations in advance. Last time, I made a wasted trip because I forgot to clear the violations, but later I found that the inspection station is particularly quiet during lunch breaks, and it only took ten minutes without queuing.

Last year, I helped my father-in-law with the annual vehicle inspection. The current regulations are: private passenger vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, requiring only an electronic label application every two years. The sixth and tenth years require a visit to the inspection station. After ten years, annual inspections are mandatory. Vans and commercial vehicles do not qualify for this policy. Remember to clear all traffic violations before the inspection and bring the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy and vehicle license. The annual inspection can be processed up to three months in advance; driving with an expired inspection may result in penalty points and fines if caught.
