Is a 2015 car exempt from inspection in 2021?

According to the national six-year new car inspection exemption policy, you should have obtained a 2-year inspection compliance label at the inspection station in 2019. The label is still issued every two years for the first six years, but without requiring the car to be inspected at the station—just directly issuing the compliance label. The prerequisite for obtaining the label is to bring the compulsory insurance policy copy and ensure all traffic violations have been processed. More relevant information is as follows: 1. What does vehicle inspection exemption refer to: It is determined by the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Products Announcement" periodically released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, based on whether there is an inspection exemption record to determine if the vehicle qualifies as exempt. 2. Scope of inspection exemption: It applies to non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of registration. However, if the vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident causing casualties during this period, it must still undergo inspection as per the original regulations.

The 2015 sedan I previously owned had to undergo an inspection at the testing station in 2021, as the policy stipulates that new vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years after registration, but starting from the 7th year, annual inspections are mandatory. I purchased my car in the summer of 2015, and by 2021, it had already exceeded the 6-year exemption period. I went directly to the vehicle management office for the inspection, which was straightforward and quick, with a reasonable fee. It was also possible to make an online appointment in advance to avoid queues. Regular inspections are crucial for driving safety, especially as vehicles age and become more prone to issues. Therefore, I recommend everyone check the details of local policies to ensure timely compliance. In summary, 2021 definitely does not count as an exempt year, so don’t let procrastination affect your daily commute.

As a car owner, I believe vehicles registered in 2015 generally require online inspections by 2021. After the policy adjustment, new cars are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. However, cars registered in 2015 would have entered their 6th year by 2021, making their inspection exemption expired. I checked my status via the Traffic Management 12123 APP and completed the procedure promptly to avoid fines. Reminder: This rule only applies to non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer. Vehicles involved in accidents or with modifications may require earlier inspections. Don’t slack off—safety comes first.

The car purchased in 2015 required inspection by 2021, which I personally experienced as the owner. When I first bought the car, I heard that the exemption period was 6 years. At the beginning of 2021, after sending it for inspection, I discovered suspension issues and promptly repaired them to ensure travel safety. Veteran drivers recommend regular inspections and maintenance, which are more important than exemption, especially for vulnerable components like tires and lights. Checking policies online is very convenient.
