Is the motor vehicle inspected every two years?

[McEmersyn]

Small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection within 6 years, but they must undergo an annual review every 2 years. In the absence of major accidents, they are exempt from on-site vehicle inspection. The following is an introduction to the relevant content of annual inspection: 1. Period: There will be no fine for one day overdue. Vehicles that exceed the annual inspection period by less than one year will not face penalties when applying for a replacement annual inspection procedure at the vehicle management department. However, if the annual inspection period exceeds one year, they will face a penalty of 3 points deducted, a fine, and may also have the vehicle temporarily impounded. 2. Penalty: For motor vehicles driving on the road without displaying the inspection qualification mark, they will face the seizure of the motor vehicle, 1 point deducted, and a fine. If the compulsory traffic insurance is not purchased, a fine of twice the amount of the compulsory insurance premium will be imposed.

I remember when I first bought my car, I was also puzzled about this—is a biennial inspection acceptable? Actually, the policy is quite user-friendly. My car is new, and for the first 6 years after registration, the government exempts it from on-site testing, saving me the hassle of queuing up every six months. However, every two years, I still need to visit the DMV or go online to obtain an inspection sticker to certify that the vehicle is in good condition. Once the car reaches 6 years, the inspection frequency increases to once a year. For vehicles over 10 years old, it becomes even more frequent—every six months. For example, my friend’s 10-year-old car had brake issues last year, but fortunately, they were detected in time. The key is not to neglect regular maintenance—checking tires, lights, and other components—to avoid problems on the road. In short, new cars start off easy but require more attention later. Safety always comes first.

From an automotive perspective, I see that annual inspections are not just about frequency. New vehicles indeed undergo simplified biennial checks during the initial phase, but this doesn't imply negligence; inspection items include emissions, braking systems, etc., to prevent potential hazards. After 6 years, annual testing helps detect engine wear or wiring aging early. Beyond 10 years, inspections escalate to biannual checks due to higher failure rates in older vehicles affecting road safety. I've encountered owners complaining about costs, but neglecting minor repairs often leads to costlier fixes later. I recommend maintaining regular service records and proactively replacing wipers or batteries during inspections to avoid last-minute hassles. Viewed this way, the policy design strikes a reasonable balance between convenience and safety.

When I first got my driver's license, I knew nothing and kept wondering if biennial inspections would be more convenient. After asking around, I learned that for new cars, within the first 6 years, you don't need to visit the inspection station every two years—just complete the formalities for the inspection mark. After that, it's different. For example, after my sedan had been on the road for a few years, I realized it needed annual checks on lights and the engine to ensure it wouldn't break down unexpectedly. Don't wait until warning lights appear on the dashboard to take action. Regular maintenance can extend your car's lifespan, saving you money and hassle.
