Is it necessary to have an annual inspection for cars after six years?
1 Answers
Private cars require an annual on-site inspection after six years, which is the standard annual inspection. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must undergo inspection every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, they require an annual inspection; and after 15 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Below are the relevant details: Relevant regulations: According to the 2014 motor vehicle inspection regulations, vehicles require an annual inspection after six years. However, under the new inspection rules effective October 22, 2020, non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles aged between 6 and 10 years now require biennial inspections instead of annual ones. Required documents: For a private vehicle's on-site inspection, you must bring the vehicle's registration certificate, the owner's ID card, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy. The vehicle must also be equipped with a fire extinguisher, warning triangle, reflective vest, and all lights must be functional. The vehicle's exterior must be free of damage, all aftermarket modifications must be removed, and there should be no outstanding traffic violations or unresolved accidents.
