How often should a vehicle be inspected after 6 years?
3 Answers
After 6 years, vehicles should be inspected every 2 years. The specific annual inspection regulations are as follows: Small and micro passenger vehicles: Non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (under 10 seats) enjoy a 6-year exemption from inspection. Within 6 years, they are exempt from on-site inspection but need to obtain an annual inspection sticker every 2 years; after 6 years (including the 6th year), they should undergo on-site inspection every 2 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Operational passenger vehicles: Operational passenger vehicles should be inspected annually within 5 years; after 5 years, they should be inspected every 6 months. Large and medium-sized passenger vehicles: Trucks and large or medium non-operational passenger vehicles should be inspected annually within 10 years; after 10 years, they should be inspected every 6 months.
My car is now in its fifth year, and I learned from a friend that after six years, it needs to undergo an annual vehicle inspection. The inspection items include checking the brake system, light brightness, emission standards, etc., to ensure the car is safe on the road. Issues like brake failure or dim lights can be very dangerous, and the annual inspection helps detect these problems in time. The cost is about 150 yuan per inspection, and you need to bring your vehicle license to the inspection station. If it fails, you'll need to fix the issues and retest. Don’t let it expire—getting caught by traffic police could mean fines, points deducted, and even affect insurance claims. I think this regulation is good because it forces us to maintain our cars, reducing accidents.
I've been driving for over 15 years and have plenty of experience. After a car reaches 6 years old, it must undergo an annual inspection, mainly checking emissions, steering, chassis, and so on. For example, last year my old car just turned 7 years old, and the annual inspection took half an hour. If it passes, they'll stick a label on it. Remember to go on time, don't procrastinate, otherwise you might get fined 2000 points and 3 demerit points. Booking an appointment at the inspection station is easier, and the cost is about 130 yuan. Usually, pay more attention to car maintenance, like changing the oil regularly, and the annual inspection will be easier. Safe driving depends on the details, don't underestimate this annual review.
