Is a new passenger car exempt from inspection for 2 years?
1 Answers
Although new vehicles fall under the 6-year inspection exemption policy, national regulations still require owners to apply for an annual inspection sticker at the vehicle management office every 2 years. Inspection conditions: Vehicles whose actual condition does not match the information recorded on the license and registration files, vehicles with damaged/incomplete license plates or registration certificates, illegible text, or self-made license plates. Inspection precautions: No exterior modifications are allowed. The tint of sunshade/anti-explosion window films cannot be too dark (interior items should be visible from one meter away - mainly applies to vans and trucks; not strictly enforced for passenger cars with ≤5 seats). Vans and trucks must display enlarged rear license plate numbers. The number of leaf springs cannot be altered. The seating capacity of vans cannot be increased or decreased. A fire extinguisher is required. No modifications are allowed to box truck compartments (no side doors, no roof openings, no tailgates). Tire sizes cannot be changed, and tread patterns must be consistent on each axle. Vehicles with outstanding traffic violations or court impoundments cannot undergo inspection.
