How Often Should a Vehicle Be Inspected After Six Years?

[LaAdaline]

After the six-year exemption period for motor vehicle inspections, vehicles over six years old must undergo an annual inspection. According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from annual inspections for the first six years; vehicles over six years old must be inspected once a year; and vehicles over 15 years old must be inspected every six months. Below are important considerations for vehicles that fail to undergo inspection on time: 1. Accident Liability: For any traffic accidents caused by a vehicle that has not undergone its annual inspection on time, the responsible party will bear full or primary liability, and the insurance company will not be liable. This is because the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with expired inspections are among the excluded categories for claims. 2. Mandatory Scrapping: According to the "Regulations on the Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," if a motor vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark within three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it will be subject to compulsory scrapping.
