Is it mandatory to scrap a private car after 600,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
Private cars reaching 600,000 kilometers are not necessarily subject to mandatory scrapping. Currently, there is theoretically no fixed scrapping age or mileage limit for private cars. Generally, as long as the vehicle can pass the annual inspection at the local motor vehicle inspection station, it can continue to be driven. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Regulation Changes: Previously, China's traffic regulations clearly stipulated that vehicles exceeding 600,000 kilometers or 15 years of use were required to be scrapped. With continuous advancements in automobile manufacturing technology, the quality of cars has significantly improved, and sometimes vehicles can still be in good condition even after 600,000 kilometers. China's vehicle scrapping regulations have now been adjusted, eliminating the mandatory scrapping rule for vehicles reaching 600,000 kilometers. 2. OBD Inspection: A new regulation has been added to China's annual vehicle inspection process, requiring cars to undergo OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) inspection. OBD inspection helps identify potential safety hazards, preventing dangerous vehicles from being on the road. Although OBD inspection is safer and more reliable, many car owners have found that older vehicles often struggle to pass the OBD inspection, making it an extremely challenging process.
