Is a car just over 6 years old exempt from inspection?
1 Answers
6-year exemption from inspection does not include the sixth year. Vehicles in their sixth year require on-site inspection during annual review. New cars within 6 years can be exempted twice (requiring inspection mark application every two years without on-site vehicle inspection). Additionally, vehicle annual inspections can generally be conducted three months in advance, so don't wait until the last week to perform the inspection to avoid expiration. Regular family vehicles (models with fewer than 7 seats, excluding 7-seaters) enjoy "6-year exemption from annual inspection," but still require biennial inspection mark application, with annual inspections required after exceeding 6 years. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspection exemption: Exemption regulations: Vehicle inspection exemption refers to waiving the on-site inspection process for vehicles meeting exemption conditions within 6 years, only requiring biennial inspection mark application and proper display on the vehicle. Essentially, it exempts from on-site inspection. As long as national policy conditions are met, no on-site inspection is needed, and owners can directly apply for inspection marks from traffic authorities. Materials required for exemption: The owner must personally bring the vehicle registration certificate (original and copy), ID card of the vehicle owner, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and tax payment or exemption proof for vehicle and vessel tax. Advance time for exemption: Can be done three months in advance, including the due month, but not across years. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 102), vehicle owners can apply for inspection marks at the registration office vehicle management department three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period.
