How to Identify if a Vehicle is Exempt from Inspection?

Go to the payment window to pay the inspection fee and wait in line for the test. Staff will conduct a preliminary inspection before the formal test begins. Then fill out the exhaust emission test form. Upon obtaining a passing exhaust emission test report, you can pay to receive the emission compliance label. If the vehicle fails, it must be adjusted at an auto repair shop before retesting, requiring another inspection fee payment.

Identifying exempt vehicles is actually quite straightforward. As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, my advice is to first check the vehicle's registration year. Newly registered vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, but you must collect the exemption decal on time. You can check the registration date on the vehicle license, or use the Traffic Management 12123 app by entering your license plate number to check the status. Pay attention to the vehicle type as well—only small passenger vehicles with fewer than 7 seats qualify for the exemption policy, while large trucks or older vehicles do not. Don't just focus on the year; also ensure you've applied for the exemption decal regularly, as inspections are required every two years after the sixth year. A common mistake is assuming exemption means no action is needed, which can lead to fines. I recommend checking the app or visiting the vehicle management office every six months to verify and ensure worry-free driving safety.

I found the quickest way to determine if a vehicle is exempt from inspection is by checking its model and age. If you're a new car owner, first confirm that your vehicle is a private passenger car and has been registered for less than six years – then there's an 80% chance it's exempt. Just open the traffic management app on your phone, enter your vehicle information to check. If the app shows an exempt status, it means you need to collect the inspection exemption mark but don't require an on-site inspection. For vehicles older than six years, pay attention to the inspection cycle. I remember when I drove my first new car, I thought the exemption was so convenient but forgot to collect the mark and got reminded. Always check online for policy updates, as exemption rules might have minor adjustments annually – don't be careless. Developing a habit of regular checks ensures both safety and convenience.

In the automotive field, determining whether a vehicle is exempt from inspection depends on the vehicle type and registration age. The key is that the vehicle must be a small ordinary passenger car and registered within the past six years. You can check the initial registration date on the vehicle registration certificate or verify it using online tools. For example, entering the VIN code on the traffic management service website can directly display the inspection status. After the exemption period ends, regulations require an on-site inspection every two years. Additionally, note that modified or accident-damaged vehicles may lose their exemption eligibility, so it's essential to maintain the original condition. Checking relevant records during vehicle maintenance helps avoid oversights.
