How often should a sedan be inspected after 10 years of use?
1 Answers
Sedans that have been in use for ten years require an annual inspection. Additional information: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years but less than 10 years old have their inspection cycle relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means that private cars within 10 years only need to undergo two on-site inspections, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. For private cars older than 10 years, the original inspection cycle still applies: vehicles aged 10-15 years require an annual inspection, while vehicles over 15 years old require inspections every six months. Below are some important notes for vehicle inspections: 1. Inspection timing: The inspection date for each vehicle is indicated on the vehicle registration certificate. Inspections can be conducted up to three months in advance, but delays are not allowed. Even a one-day delay is considered overdue. If caught by traffic police, a fine of 200 yuan and 3 penalty points may be imposed. 2. All traffic violations must be resolved before the inspection; otherwise, the vehicle cannot undergo the inspection. 3. Any modified parts on the vehicle, such as lights or other components, must be restored to their original condition, or the inspection will not pass. 4. If a vehicle misses three inspections, it will be subject to mandatory scrapping.
