Is a new car inspected every two years?
2 Answers
New cars are not inspected every two years, but every six years, with the inspection compliance standard renewed every two years. The six-year inspection exemption means the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection, but it does not mean no inspection is required at all. Owners still need to apply for the inspection mark at the vehicle management office every two years. Below is more related information: The following types of vehicles are not eligible for inspection exemption: 1. First type: Vehicles involved in accidents causing casualties are not exempt from inspection. 2. Second type: Vehicles that have not been registered for a long time after purchase (those that have not completed registration procedures for more than four years since the date of manufacture) are not exempt from inspection. 3. Third type: Non-commercial passenger vehicles that had reached their inspection expiration date before September 1, 2014, but failed to undergo inspection on time cannot enjoy the inspection exemption policy and still need to follow the original regulations to undergo inspection at designated inspection institutions.
I just bought a new car not long ago, and I heard people say that new cars need an inspection every two years. Actually, it's not that simple. According to current regulations, if it's a newly registered vehicle, for the first six years, you only need to apply for an inspection label every two years, without having to go to a testing station for an on-site inspection. My first car was registered in 2020, and in 2022, I completed this procedure through the Traffic Management 12123 App by simply uploading a photo of the vehicle registration certificate—the whole process was free. The application period is calculated from the registration date, so make sure not to miss the deadline, otherwise you might receive a fine or even face restrictions on using the vehicle. I recommend that new car owners mark the date in advance or set a reminder to save time and hassle. This so-called biennial inspection is actually a simplified review, mainly to verify the owner's information and the vehicle's status.
