Additionally, vehicle inspection procedures have been simplified following the advancement of vehicle management reforms. However, inspection requirements have become stricter after the implementation of the China VI emission standards. 2021 annual inspection new regulations: The 2021 vehicle inspection regulations expand the exemption scope for private vehicles and optimize the inspection cycle (effective from November 20, 2020). Non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats within 6 years of age are now included in the exempt category. For non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles over 6 but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from annual to biennial, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. However, vans, vehicles penalized for illegal modifications, vehicles involved in fatal accidents, and vehicles unregistered for over 4 years since manufacture are not eligible for the 6-year exemption policy.
