How often should a sedan be inspected after six years?
2 Answers
After a sedan has been in use for six years, it must undergo an annual inspection. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspections: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Purpose of Vehicle Inspection: Vehicle annual inspections can assess the condition or operational capability of the car, ensure the personal safety of the driver, guarantee that the vehicle meets the required appearance standards and has good safety performance, limit the level of environmental pollution caused by the vehicle, and ensure its operation under safe, efficient, and low-pollution conditions.
I've been driving for over ten years, and I remember that newly purchased sedans are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years. However, after six years, they must undergo an inspection every two years. Specifically, in the seventh and ninth years, the vehicle needs to go to the inspection station for a comprehensive check, including brakes, lights, and emissions. This frequency is set quite scientifically because vehicle components are prone to wear and tear over time, and regular inspections can prevent potential issues. Before each inspection, I always check the tire pressure and bulbs myself to save trouble. As an experienced driver, I don’t find the biennial inspection too bothersome—safety comes first. Delaying it might result in fines or even affect your driver’s license. I’d like to remind everyone to mark the dates and set a phone reminder to make it hassle-free.
