How often should a sedan undergo annual inspection?
1 Answers
After the implementation of the new vehicle inspection regulations, sedans aged between 6 and 10 years must undergo inspection every 2 years. At the 6th and 8th year, the vehicle must be tested on the inspection line. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies: vehicles aged 10 to 15 years must be inspected once a year, while those over 15 years old must be inspected every 6 months. Inspection items include: Exterior inspection: Take the exterior inspection form to the exterior inspection station, where relevant documents are first checked to verify if the third-party insurance (compulsory insurance) is valid. After document verification, the exterior inspection begins, focusing on checking for damaged lights, whether the vehicle body conforms to its original condition, any changes to the suspension, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. Line inspection: The inspection line checks the brakes, headlights (high beam), chassis, etc. This takes about 5-10 minutes. After the vehicle is driven off the line, a computer-printed form is issued, listing items such as brakes, lights, and horn. A "0" is printed for passing items, while an "X" is printed for failing items.
