How to Conduct Annual Inspection for Vehicles Under 10 Years Under New Regulations?
2 Answers
New regulations have optimized the annual inspection cycle for vehicles, specifically targeting non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles that are over 6 years but under 10 years old. The scope of vehicles exempt from annual inspection within 6 years has been expanded, with nine-seater vehicles now eligible for the six-year exemption policy; the inspection time limit has been extended.
I just bought a car a few years ago and I'm quite familiar with the annual inspection process. Under the new regulations, inspections for cars under ten years old are much simpler. For the first six years, you just need to apply online for an exemption mark every two years without visiting an inspection station. Just download the Traffic Management 12123 APP, submit your vehicle license and insurance documents, and you're done. I helped a friend with it last year, and it took only five minutes. However, by the sixth year, you’ll need an on-site inspection—just book an appointment at a nearby inspection station, and the cost is only around 100-200 yuan. By the eighth year, you can apply for the mark via the APP again. The tenth year requires mandatory on-site inspection, so don’t delay, or you might get fined if stopped on the road. Make sure to regularly check your tires and lights to pass the inspection in one go and avoid repeat visits. The whole process is really convenient, and the government’s optimization has made life much easier for car owners.
