Is it safe to drive a 15-year-old car on the highway?
1 Answers
As long as the vehicle has passed the annual inspection, it is allowed to drive on the highway. Additional information: 1. Mandatory scrapping: According to current Chinese laws and regulations, there is no longer a mandatory scrapping age for private cars, but they will be forcibly scrapped when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. This policy is beneficial for private car owners who take good care of their vehicles. However, as required, the annual inspection for vehicles over 15 years old will become much more troublesome, requiring inspection every 6 months. If the vehicle fails the inspection, it will be forcibly scrapped. This is because the design lifespan of the engine is 15 years. For vehicles over 20 years old, they need to undergo regular inspections four times a year, and if they fail the inspection, they will be forcibly scrapped. 2. Vehicle inspection items: The inspection includes the following aspects: the appearance of the car, braking condition, steering system, transmission system, lighting, signal indicators, tires, suspension system, safety equipment, etc.
