Is the sixth-year vehicle inspection on-site or exempt?
1 Answers
Vehicles in their sixth year require on-site inspection. Motor vehicles that meet the 6-year exemption criteria will be exempt from the on-site inspection (i.e., vehicle testing) process, but they still need to apply for an annual inspection compliance label (i.e., the sticker placed on the windshield) every two years. In other words, the exemption only removes the vehicle testing step, while the annual inspection label must still be applied for biennially. Below are the relevant details: 1. Vehicle models eligible for the exemption policy: Non-commercial large, small, and mini cars, as well as non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles. The term "non-commercial" in this policy does not include: police, firefighting, ambulance, engineering rescue, commercial-to-non-commercial converted, taxi-to-non-commercial converted, two-wheeled motorcycles, and three-wheeled motorcycles. Models with 7 seats or more are also ineligible for the exemption. 2. Timeframe: Vehicles registered on or after September 1, 2010, can enjoy the exemption. (For example, vehicles registered after September 2010 can enjoy one exemption, those registered after September 2012 can enjoy two exemptions, while vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review procedures).
