How Often Should Motor Vehicles Be Inspected?
2 Answers
Motor vehicle inspection intervals are as follows: within the first six years, inspections are required every two years, and after six years, inspections are required annually. Content of motor vehicle inspection: The first step in the inspection line is the exhaust emission test, which controls engine exhaust emissions and also checks whether the vehicle's engine is operating under optimal conditions. Additionally, the vehicle's exterior appearance is inspected, so unnecessary modifications based on personal preferences should be avoided, and unauthorized replacement of the vehicle body or engine is strictly prohibited. Purpose of motor vehicle inspection: The purpose of motor vehicle inspection is to determine the condition or operational capability of the vehicle, ensure the safety of the driver, guarantee that the vehicle meets required appearance standards and has good safety performance, limit the vehicle's environmental pollution, and ensure it operates under safe, efficient, and low-pollution conditions. It also assesses the operational capability and technical condition of running vehicles, identifies the location and cause of faults or potential hazards, supervises the quality of vehicle repairs, and ensures that vehicles have excellent safety, reliability, and power performance.
My family’s small car just had its annual inspection last year. New cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, only requiring an electronic label via the Traffic Management 12123 App every two years. By the 6th year, an on-site inspection is required, followed by another at the 8th year, and again at the 10th year. For cars older than 10 years, annual inspections at the testing center are mandatory. Remember to settle any traffic violations in advance, bring the vehicle license and compulsory insurance policy, and check the lights and brakes before the inspection to avoid a wasted trip. By the way, recent policy changes have made the new regulations much more lenient than before.
