How often should non-commercial vehicles undergo annual inspections?
1 Answers
Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. For vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years old, inspections are required every two years; for vehicles over 10 years but less than 15 years old, annual inspections are required; for vehicles over 15 years old, inspections are required every 6 months. Inspection content includes: Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and functional; whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records; Verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Checking whether the vehicle has been modified or altered, and whether the registration details on the driving license, license plate, and vehicle records match the actual condition of the vehicle, including any changes and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed; Inspecting whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether replacement is needed; For large vehicles, verifying whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or village where the vehicle is registered, along with the maximum seating capacity in the cab, is correctly printed in imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, checking whether the rear fender (including the rear fender of trailers) displays the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and whether the sides of the door display the word "Individual" for privately owned or jointly operated vehicles. The lettering must be clear, and no unit codes or other patterns are allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).
