Starting from 2020, the mandatory scrapping standard for motorcycles is 13 years. According to Article 5, Clause 11 of the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," the scrapping period for regular tricycles is 12 years, while other motorcycles have a scrapping period of 13 years. However, it is important to note that if your lightweight two-wheeled motorcycle has accumulated a mileage exceeding 100,000 kilometers, it will also be subject to scrapping, whichever condition comes first. Article 4 of the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles" states that registered motor vehicles must be mandatorily scrapped under the following circumstances, and the owner must sell the vehicle to a scrapped motor vehicle recycling and dismantling enterprise. The enterprise will then carry out registration, dismantling, destruction, and other processes as required, and handle the scrapped motor vehicle registration certificate and license plate. The mandatory scrapping period for motorcycles is 13 years. Below is an introduction to the scrapping period: Definition of the scrapping period: The vehicle scrapping period refers to a safety inspection system based on the number of seats and the duration of use of the vehicle.
