How to Check if Your Vehicle is Exempt from Inspection?
2 Answers
Visit the vehicle management office to print a vehicle announcement. Below the inspection exemption announcement, it will state "New Vehicle Registration Exempt from Inspection" or similar wording, while other vehicles are not exempt. Check the vehicle's certificate of conformity. If the vehicle type is listed as a passenger car, then the vehicle is definitely exempt from inspection. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" app on your phone, which requires real-name registration to activate. After registering and logging in, click on the "Motor Vehicle" option in the top left corner. After clicking "Motor Vehicle" in the top left corner, click the "+" sign in the top right corner. Select "My Motor Vehicle" and enter the vehicle information to check. If it's not your vehicle, click "Non-My Motor Vehicle" and enter the vehicle information to check.
I just checked last year whether my car is exempt from inspection, and the method is actually quite simple. Mainly look at two points: first, the vehicle type—private passenger cars with 9 seats or fewer for non-commercial use are exempt, but minivans are not; second, the age of the vehicle—new cars are directly exempt from on-site inspection for the first 6 years, and you can just collect the inspection sticker. After 6 years, the situation changes. For example, the 6th and 8th years require on-site inspection, while the 7th and 9th years can still be exempt. Nowadays, it’s popular to check automatically on the Traffic Management 12123 App. After binding your vehicle, the system will directly prompt whether it meets the exemption conditions, and you can also apply for the exemption sticker online. However, be aware that if your car has been involved in an accident causing casualties or has been penalized for unauthorized modifications, the exemption eligibility will be revoked.
