1 Answers
According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", Article 16: Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: 1. For passenger transport vehicles, an annual inspection is required within the first 5 years; after 5 years, an inspection every 6 months is required. 2. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles, an annual inspection is required within the first 10 years; after 10 years, an inspection every 6 months is required. 3. For small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles, an inspection every 2 years is required within the first 6 years; after 6 years, an annual inspection is required; after 15 years, an inspection every 6 months is required. 4. Motorcycles within the first 6 years are exempt from inspections at inspection institutions; when periodic inspection is required, the vehicle owner can directly apply for the inspection compliance mark at the traffic management department of the public security authority. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles require an annual inspection. If a commercial motor vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period, it does not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections. 6. Vehicles that have exceeded the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used; for sales, the vehicle owner can first apply for the vehicle's scrapping certificate (canceling the vehicle's record) at the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the sale.
