How to Conduct Annual Inspection for a Car Involved in a Traffic Accident?

[McLuke]

It depends on whether the traffic accident resulted in casualties. For vehicles involved in accidents with casualties, an on-site inspection at a testing facility is required for the annual inspection. However, vehicles involved in accidents without casualties during the exemption period are exempt from inspection. The regulations for vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. Non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection within 6 years: Non-commercial passenger vehicles (including non-commercial cars, small and micro passenger vehicles, and from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small and micro buses with 7-9 seats, excluding minivans) are exempt from on-site inspection within 6 years, only requiring an application for an inspection mark every two years. From November 20, 2020, for private cars older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars within 10 years only need on-site inspection twice, in the 6th and 8th years. For private cars older than 10 years, the original inspection cycle still applies: private cars aged 10-15 years require an annual inspection, while those older than 15 years require an inspection every six months. 2. Commercial passenger vehicles require an annual inspection once a year: Commercial passenger vehicles within 5 years require an annual inspection once a year; those older than 5 years require an inspection every six months. 3. Trucks and similar vehicles require an annual inspection once a year: Trucks and large and medium non-commercial passenger vehicles within 10 years require an annual inspection once a year, while those older than 10 years require an inspection every six months.
