Is it advisable to buy a second-hand vehicle converted from commercial to non-commercial use?
1 Answers
According to the reasons for purchasing a vehicle converted from commercial to non-commercial use as an ordinary non-commercial vehicle, it can be bought as long as it is confirmed that the vehicle is indeed converted and the price is reasonable. Here is the relevant information: 1. Commercial to non-commercial conversion: This refers to the process of converting a commercial vehicle into a non-commercial one. Typically, such vehicles are retired taxis that have been re-registered under local license plates. After conversion, the vehicle's service life remains 8 years, and it will be mandatorily scrapped 8 years from the date of manufacture, with no further annual inspections or extensions of the scrapping period. 2. Taxi to non-commercial conversion: This is different from commercial to non-commercial conversion. For example, if a car was registered in 1999 as a non-commercial vehicle, its mandatory scrapping period would be in 2099, effectively making it unlimited in time. However, if it was converted from a taxi to non-commercial, the mandatory scrapping period would be in 2007.
