How often should a private car over 10 years old undergo annual inspection?
1 Answers
Private cars over 10 years old require annual inspection. According to Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles must undergo inspection every 2 years within the first 6 years, then annually after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Below are the new regulations for private car annual inspections: 1. Additional inspection items: The online inspection process for private cars now includes a "safety defect recall" check. If a vehicle has safety issues under manufacturer recall, the inspector will notify the owner. 2. Clarified exterior inspection scope: The new regulations explicitly relax exterior inspection standards, permitting modifications to grilles, pedals, roof racks, bumpers, and wheel hubs during visual inspections.
