Is the service life of private cars 15 years?
1 Answers
Private cars are not scrapped after 15 years. There is no mandatory retirement age for private sedans, including 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the retirement. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no service life limit. Motor vehicle retirement process: 1. The owner of the vehicle applying for retirement and renewal should fill out an "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Retirement" and affix the owner's seal. 2. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the retirement age, a "Vehicle Retirement Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the retirement age, if they are confirmed by the motor vehicle inspection counter to meet the retirement standards, a "Vehicle Retirement Notice" will be issued. 3. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". 4. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The owner should submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Recycling Certificate of Retired Vehicles", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the retirement registration will be processed according to regulations after approval.
