How Often Should New Vehicles Undergo Inspection?
2 Answers
New vehicle annual inspections are divided into two scenarios: one qualifies for a 6-year exemption, while the other requires on-site testing. The details are as follows: 1. 6-year exemption: The 6-year exemption does not mean complete exemption from inspection but rather exempts the on-site testing (i.e., vehicle inspection) process. However, it is still necessary to apply for an annual inspection compliance sticker every two years, which can be done online. It's important to understand this distinction clearly—it essentially grants two exemptions from on-site testing, but the sixth year still requires on-site inspection and application for the annual inspection compliance sticker. 2. Inspection components: The annual inspection here consists of two parts. The first part involves taking the vehicle to a testing station for checks (lights, tires, emissions, etc.), while the second part is simply receiving the inspection sticker, with the prerequisite being passing the first part. In this context, the exemption essentially skips the first part and directly proceeds to the second part.
I just bought a new car and checked this policy. The new vehicle inspection regulations state that for the first six years, the car does not need to undergo an on-site inspection, but a vehicle inspection compliance sticker must be obtained every two years. This means that once two years of driving are up, I have to apply for the sticker online or at the vehicle management office to put it on the car. After six years, an annual on-site inspection is required, checking items like brakes and lights. The policy saves new car owners a lot of hassle, but I recommend checking tires and lights monthly to avoid potential issues affecting driving safety. Also, failing to obtain the sticker on time will result in a fine—don’t be like my friend who completely forgot. In short, while enjoying this benefit, it’s important to take responsibility for maintaining the vehicle properly.
