How often should the vehicle inspection compliance sticker be replaced?
2 Answers
Replacement frequency for vehicle inspection compliance stickers: For passenger vehicles and new cars, inspections are required every two years for the first 6 years. After reaching 15 years of age, inspections are required every six months. A new compliance sticker is issued after each inspection, with the valid date clearly marked on the sticker. Regular vehicle inspections help promptly identify potential safety hazards, encourage proper vehicle maintenance, and reduce traffic accidents. Required documents for vehicle inspection include: the vehicle license, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, and vehicle safety technical inspection compliance certificate. Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles with official license plates and registration certificates, essentially serving as an annual physical examination to verify compliance with road safety technical requirements.
When I first bought my new car, I was really curious about this inspection sticker thing. I remember that for the first six years, the car didn’t need to go through an on-site inspection, but I had to renew the compliance sticker every two years to avoid getting fined on the road. My first car was a small non-commercial vehicle, and I could apply for it either at the traffic management office or through the 12123 App—just upload the documents and wait for approval. Super convenient! If you missed it, insurance claims might be affected. After six years, the car had to be inspected annually, and now that it’s older, I’ve made it a habit to keep an eye on App notifications. A reminder to everyone: the new policy is stricter for cars over ten years old, so don’t delay inspections too long—ensure your car runs safely and avoid extra expenses.
