How to Handle a Car That Has Exceeded Its Scrap Period?
1 Answers
The methods for handling a car that has exceeded its scrap period are as follows: 1. For vehicles that have already exceeded the scrap period, the first step is to report to the vehicle management department. After approval, the vehicle should be transferred to a qualified recycling enterprise for dismantling. 2. Additionally, after the mandatory scrap period has passed, the vehicle registration must be canceled with the relevant authorities within ten days. The vehicle information should be deregistered, and the license plate must be surrendered. Extended information is as follows: The legally prescribed service life of a car is fifteen years, but this does not necessarily mean it must be scrapped after fifteen years. The service life can be extended, and annual inspections must be conducted on time. The service life and extension of a car are regulated as follows: Non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including sedans, SUVs, light minivans, and mini travel vans) have a service life of 15 years. If the vehicle needs to continue in use after reaching the scrap period, the service life can be extended. Vehicles with extended service life do not require approval but must undergo two annual inspections. For vehicles that reach 20 years, from the 21st year onward, they must undergo four annual inspections.
