In Which Year Should a Private Car Undergo On-Site Inspection?
1 Answers
Private cars must undergo on-site inspection in the 6th year. Below are the specific details about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual 'physical examination' for vehicles conducted according to the 'Technical Requirements for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety.' 2. Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption from inspection for non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) means the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection. However, the owner must still pass an exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually 2 years) and apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police squadron, which must then be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial vehicles such as passenger cars has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2012, can be exempted twice; vehicles registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, can be exempted once; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review procedures.
