How to Conduct Annual Inspection for Vehicles with 8-Year Exemption?
1 Answers
Vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, after which they must undergo on-site testing to obtain the annual inspection sticker. Vehicles in their eighth year are no longer exempt and cannot apply for the exemption sticker online. Instead, they must be taken to the vehicle management office for on-site inspection to receive the annual inspection sticker. Therefore, for the eighth year, you should schedule an appointment with the vehicle management office for the annual inspection within three months before the inspection deadline. Alternatively, you can follow the dates suggested by the Traffic Management 12123 app to legally arrange your inspection. Annual Inspection Procedure: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle must undergo on-site testing. Drive the vehicle into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check the exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis for compliance with standards. Only if all items pass can the inspection be completed. Next is the visual inspection, which verifies the accuracy of the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, inspect the vehicle's exterior, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, under-mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation condition, and the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle registration certificate and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair the vehicle and participate in a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.
