How Often Should Private Cars Over Six Years Old Undergo Inspection?
2 Answers
Private cars that have been in use for over 6 years are required to undergo inspection every two years. Here is some information about private car annual inspections: 1. Inspection Frequency: The new regulations include 7 to 9-seat non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) within the exemption range for the first 6 years. For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) that are over 6 but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. 2. Legal Provisions: According to the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations', the owner of a motor vehicle may apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location within 3 months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period.
My old Buick has been running for eight years, and I always get nervous during the annual inspection season. After all, private cars over six years old must undergo an annual inspection. New cars are more lenient in the first six years, requiring only a biennial check. As the car ages, the inspection frequency doubles, mainly to prevent aging risks. Last year, during my inspection, I found the brake fluid was low and topped it up in time, avoiding potential accidents on the highway. I’d like to remind everyone to prepare their vehicle license and insurance policy in advance and book an inspection appointment early. If you forget the inspection, the traffic management system will impose fines, and it may also affect next year’s insurance discounts. As an ordinary car owner, I think this regulation, though troublesome, is worthwhile for safety. It’s also good to pay attention to tire wear and light brightness regularly.
