How to Calculate Three Inspection Cycles for Motor Vehicles?
2 Answers
For annual inspections conducted once a year, the inspection cycle is one year from the month the vehicle passed the inspection. Specific details are as follows: 1. Example: If the inspection was in March 2015, then March 2016 is one inspection cycle, and three inspection cycles would be March 2018. However, if your vehicle is over 15 years old, the inspection cycle becomes every six months. Inspection cycles vary depending on the vehicle type and age. 2. Additional Information: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, every 6 months. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, every 6 months.
I am an ordinary office worker who drives to commute daily and once almost got into trouble for being too busy to forget about the annual vehicle inspection. How are the three cycles of motor vehicle annual inspection calculated? It's actually quite simple. It starts from the day your car was first registered and hit the road. Every year around that date, you need to go to the inspection station for a check-up. If you fail to inspect or pass the inspection for three consecutive times, it counts as three cycles of non-compliance, and the vehicle may be forcibly scrapped or have its registration revoked. For example, if my car was registered on August 1, 2019, then the first inspection should be on August 1, 2020; the second on August 1, 2021; and the third on August 1, 2022. If I don’t handle it on time within these three years, it’s dangerous. I’ve even heard of a neighbor’s car being disposed of this way. Now, I set a reminder on my phone calendar a month in advance to avoid laziness, turning a small issue into a big problem, affecting driving safety and wasting money.
