How often should a small car be inspected after six years?

Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles over 6 years old require annual inspection; those over 15 years old need inspection twice a year, while vehicles under 6 years require inspection every 2 years. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Time: For small cars and blue-license minivans, the first six years after registration require biennial inspection; after six years, annual inspection is required; after ten years, annual inspection continues; after fifteen years, inspection is required twice a year. For trucks, annual inspection is required after registration, and after ten years, inspection is required twice a year. 2. Regulations: If a vehicle is found on the road without inspection by traffic police, the owner may face fines or vehicle impoundment. Additionally, in insurance contracts, vehicles not timely inspected are considered unqualified, and no claims will be paid in the event of an accident.

Small cars require an annual inspection after six years. When my previous car first reached this age, I wasn't very clear about the process. Later, a friend informed me that it must undergo an on-site inspection. The procedure involves booking an appointment at an inspection station to check the lights, braking system, and exhaust emissions. My advice is to perform a simple maintenance check before the annual inspection, such as ensuring all bulbs are working and tire pressure is correct, to avoid discovering issues at the inspection site and wasting time. Don't forget to bring all necessary documents: the vehicle license, ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. It's recommended to go on a weekday to avoid peak hours and save time by skipping long queues. Regular vehicle maintenance and proper preparation can help you pass the inspection in one go.

As someone who often helps friends with car matters, small cars must undergo annual inspections once they reach six years of age. Older vehicles are prone to component aging, and inspection stations will check key items such as lighting, braking, and emissions. I recommend preemptively servicing brake pads and filters, as failing emissions tests is common—if levels exceed standards, a visit to the repair shop for adjustments is necessary. The annual inspection process isn't complicated; bring essential documents and tools like warning triangles and fire extinguishers, and while waiting for results, seek advice from staff. Safety comes first—regular inspections help prevent roadside breakdowns.

I encountered vehicle inspection issues shortly after starting to drive. For cars over six years old, the annual inspection is required once a year. Last year during inspection, long queues of vehicles made the process take half a day. Preparation is crucial: check if all lights work, inspect tire wear, and it's best to clean dust off light covers. Bring all necessary documents, don't forget the insurance policy. Regular maintenance like oil and filter changes can reduce the risk of failing the inspection. Address any issues promptly at repair shops.
