How often should a vehicle be inspected after six years?
1 Answers
After a vehicle has been in use for more than 6 years, according to the new regulations implemented in 2020, it should be inspected every two years. The new regulations introduced on November 20, 2020, expanded the scope of exempted vehicle inspections. In addition to the original exemption for non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles with fewer than 6 seats within 6 years, non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years were also included in the exemption. For non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that have been in use for more than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency was adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Additional information: 1. Article 15 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicle safety technical inspections shall be conducted by motor vehicle safety technical inspection institutions. Motor vehicle safety technical inspection institutions shall inspect vehicles in accordance with the national motor vehicle safety technical inspection standards and bear legal responsibility for the inspection results. 2. Management: The quality and technical supervision departments are responsible for implementing metrological certification management for motor vehicle safety technical inspection institutions, calibrating motor vehicle safety technical inspection equipment, and supervising the implementation of national motor vehicle safety technical inspection standards. The motor vehicle safety technical inspection items shall be stipulated by the public security department of the State Council in conjunction with the quality and technical supervision department of the State Council.
