How to Conduct the Annual Inspection for a Vehicle in Its Seventh Year?
2 Answers
For the annual inspection, you need to first submit materials such as the compulsory traffic insurance policy of the motor vehicle. During the on-site inspection, the appearance will be checked first. If there are no issues with the appearance inspection, you can queue up for the on-site inspection. The inspection line is responsible for checking items such as brakes, headlights, and chassis. Once the vehicle is driven off the line, you will receive a computer-printed form and be issued the motor vehicle inspection certificate.
My car has been running for seven years, and every year I have to personally visit the inspection station for the annual inspection, as vehicles over seven years old must undergo an annual on-site inspection. The process is quite simple: first, prepare the necessary documents, including the vehicle registration certificate, original and photocopy of ID card, and a copy of the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. Then, drive the car to a nearby inspection station, queue up, and pay for the inspection, which includes checks on exhaust emissions, headlight brightness, braking system, and safety performance, among others. The whole process usually takes about one or two hours, with staff assisting in the operation. Once passed, you'll receive a new inspection compliance sticker to place on the windshield. Remember to check tire wear and headlight brightness in advance to avoid a wasted trip. The annual inspection fee is around two to three hundred yuan. I always prefer to book an appointment online to save time, making it more efficient without affecting daily work. Regular annual inspections also ensure road safety and help avoid fines.
