Ten years ago, buying a car and getting it inspected was actually quite simple, mainly divided into stages based on the vehicle's age. For new cars within the first six years, inspections were required every two years without the need for an on-site check. You could simply upload the required documents on the Traffic Management 12123 APP—just have the vehicle license and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance ready. My new car was only three years old, and with a few taps on the APP, the process was done, saving both money and time. After six years and up to ten years, the car needed an annual on-site inspection. I took my car to the testing station to check the lights, brakes, and emission system—the whole process took about half an hour and cost around one to two hundred yuan. Remember to check the lights beforehand to ensure they're working; otherwise, failing once means having to go through the process again.
