The six-year exemption refers to non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats), which are exempt from on-site inspection within six years. For new vehicles within six years, the inspection exemption mark must be collected from the vehicle management office every two years. By the sixth year, an on-site inspection is required. Vehicle inspection items: Appearance inspection: The main focus is on vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires.
