Is a New Car Still Exempt from Inspection After an Accident?
1 Answers
If it is a minor accident, the car can continue to be exempt from inspection. However, if the accident is severe, it will no longer qualify for exemption. The exemption terms specify that vehicles involved in major accidents cannot enjoy the inspection exemption. For significant accidents, the vehicle must undergo inspection on a testing platform to determine its status. The extent of accidents that disqualify a car from exemption and the corresponding handling procedures are as follows: Extent of accidents that disqualify from exemption: To deepen reforms in deregulation, management, and services, the Ministry of Public Security introduced 12 optimization measures, including conditions related to inspection exemptions. The regulations state that vehicles involved in accidents causing casualties will not be eligible for the exemption policy. In other words, if an accident results in casualties, the vehicle will generally lose its exemption status. Handling procedures for non-exempt cases: If a private car is involved in an accident that results in the loss of its exemption qualification, it must undergo biennial inspections within a 10-year period.
