I just finished my four-year vehicle inspection, and using the 12123 app was so convenient! After downloading the app, I logged into my account, linked my license plate number, and selected the inspection appointment. For the fourth year, an on-site inspection at a testing station is mandatory. I chose a nearby location, and the system showed available time slots—I booked a weekend slot to avoid traffic. Before going, I checked the lights, brakes, etc., to ensure a one-time pass. The fee was paid via the app using WeChat. At the station, I brought my vehicle license and insurance documents, and after the technician tested emissions, lights, and brakes, I got the inspection sticker. The whole process took just half an hour, saving me the hassle of visiting the traffic police office—super practical and easy for new car owners. I also checked my violation records while at it—killing two birds with one stone. Regular inspections help avoid costly major repairs, so I recommend everyone start using the app early.
