As an ordinary car owner, I've already gone through the six-year exemption from inspection twice, and it's really convenient. Thinking back to when I first bought the car, I heard that there was no need for an on-site inspection in the first six years, which put my mind at ease. The process is simple: before the two-year period expires, bring the original ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the local vehicle management office to fill out an application form, or simply submit the electronic version directly on the 12123 app—it only takes a few minutes. Remember, the vehicle must be a non-commercial small passenger car with no major accidents or modifications, otherwise it won't qualify for the exemption. The benefits are saving time and money—each time, you can save hundreds of yuan in inspection fees and avoid queuing all day. I recommend preparing the materials a month in advance to avoid being fined for expiration. By the way, regular vehicle maintenance, such as checking tires and brakes, ensures safer driving and peace of mind.
