How to Perform Annual Inspection for an Overdue Vehicle?

By completing the annual inspection procedures and clearing any violations, you can then proceed to the traffic management office to handle the annual inspection. Below are relevant details: 1. Detail One: If a vehicle is involved in an accident without undergoing annual inspection, insurance claims will not be compensated. According to the 'Motor Vehicle Third Party Liability Insurance Clauses', if the insured vehicle is involved in a traffic accident without passing the annual inspection or if the vehicle does not possess a valid driving license, the insurer will not bear the compensation responsibility. This means the insurance contract only applies to qualified and legal vehicles. Besides not compensating for accidents involving vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection on time, insurance companies will also refuse compensation for lost vehicles. 2. Detail Two: Vehicles that do not undergo annual inspection may be impounded and fined. For vehicles that have not participated in the annual inspection, traffic police can impose a fine and deduct 3 points from the driver's license according to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law', and the vehicle may also be temporarily impounded.

I just went through the overdue annual vehicle inspection last month, what a hassle! My car was two months overdue when I remembered, so I rushed to the DMV only to be told I had to pay a 200-yuan fine first. With the ticket in hand, I queued at the inspection station where the staff informed me it was lucky I hadn't exceeded three months - any longer would've required re-registration. The actual inspection process was identical to regular checks (lights, brakes etc.), but driving an overdue vehicle to the station was nerve-wracking - getting stopped by traffic police means 3 demerit points plus 200-yuan fine, and worse, insurance won't cover accidents. Now I've set a two-week advance reminder on my phone calendar. My advice: stop driving immediately if overdue, and hiring a tow truck to the inspection station is the safest bet.

Don't take overdue vehicle annual inspections lightly. Last year, my car was fined for being just three days overdue. The process is actually simple: first, get a traffic violation notice from the traffic police station, pay the 200 yuan fine, then queue up at the inspection station. The key point is, never drive the car on the road during the overdue period, otherwise you'll face another ticket and points deduction. I remember asking a friend to help drive my car to the inspection station back then. Also, pay attention to insurance issues—you'll have to pay out of pocket for any accidents that occur during the insurance lapse. The staff mentioned that handling it within three months of overdue is still relatively easy, but exceeding three months might require retesting or additional reviews. It's recommended to set a phone reminder before the annual inspection expires—it's both safe and hassle-free.

If your vehicle's annual inspection is overdue, you must promptly complete the overdue procedure. First, go to the traffic police station to handle any traffic violations and pay a fine of 200 yuan. Only after obtaining the processing slip can you proceed with the normal annual inspection. At the beginning of the year when my inspection was overdue, I asked a technician at the inspection station and learned that you can still undergo a normal inspection if it's overdue for less than three months. However, the longer it's overdue, the more troublesome it becomes. The most critical issue is driving with an overdue inspection—last year, a neighbor was deducted 3 points and fined 200 yuan for this, and the insurance company refused to cover the costs for a minor collision accident. After handling the overdue inspection, remember to check the validity date of your compulsory traffic insurance to prevent it from expiring.

The steps for overdue vehicle inspection are simple: first, pay a 200 yuan fine at the traffic police station, then take the processing slip to the inspection station for a normal check. However, driving during the overdue period is too risky—I hired a driver to take my car to the inspection station last time. If the overdue period exceeds three months, it’s said that a re-inspection is required, which is time-consuming and costly. Reminder: after handling the inspection, check your insurance validity to avoid coverage gaps. Lastly, remember to prepare early for the next inspection—safety first.
