Is the Maxus V80 new car exempt from inspection for six years?
2 Answers
Maxus V80 new cars are not eligible for the six-year exemption from inspection. Here are the specific reasons: Reasons for not being exempt: The Maxus V80 is classified as a minivan but does not fall under the new regulations. It still follows the original rules requiring annual on-site inspections. Even 6-seater commercial vehicles are defined as minivans and are not eligible for exemption from on-site inspections. Introduction to the six-year exemption: The "6-year exemption from inspection" means that newly purchased vehicles are exempt from inspection for six years. Owners can directly receive the inspection compliance mark every two years by presenting proof of compulsory insurance and payment of vehicle and vessel tax. According to traffic management authorities, for vehicles eligible for the six-year exemption in the city, the co-driver's license no longer has the inspection validity period noted, and the copy of the license will have fewer than two stamps.
I've driven several light commercial vehicles, including the new Maxus V80 model, and now I'll explain the details to you. The six-year exemption from inspection policy does apply in China, but the vehicle must be registered as a non-commercial passenger car. Models like the V80 mostly qualify, as long as they're not used for commercial transport or specific business purposes. In the first six years after new vehicle registration, you need to apply for the inspection exemption mark every two years through the traffic management department's app or service window, without having to take the vehicle to an inspection station for testing, which saves a lot of hassle. However, I must remind you not to miss the application deadlines, such as the 2nd and 4th anniversaries of the registration date, as missing them may result in fines and require make-up procedures. Regular vehicle maintenance is also important – pay extra attention to components like lights and brakes, as safety comes first. If the vehicle has records of illegal modifications or accidents, the inspection exemption eligibility may be affected. Keep all purchase documents handy for easy application processing. Overall, this policy is quite beneficial.
