2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection is closed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle annual inspection: Overview: Vehicle annual inspection refers to the annual inspection conducted on vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, in accordance with the 'Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety.' The purpose is to examine the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage enhanced maintenance, ensure the vehicle remains in good condition, and guarantee driving safety. Other Information: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must undergo inspection once a year within the first 5 years. After 5 years, the inspection is required every 6 months. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years. After 10 years, the inspection is required every 6 months. The annual inspection for motor vehicles is divided into initial annual inspection and regular annual inspection.
I think most vehicle inspection stations will be closed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as it is a national statutory holiday, and government agencies and authorized service centers usually close for rest. This may affect your scheduling. If your inspection is due right before the holiday, it's best to arrange it a week or two in advance to avoid long queues or being unable to complete the process. The specific opening hours of inspection stations depend on local policies—some private stations may operate on a shift basis, but overall, options are limited. During the holiday, roads are crowded with increased traffic, so it's advisable to get your inspection done early. This ensures your car is safe to drive, reducing the risk of malfunctions, and helps you avoid the holiday rush for a smoother experience. Keep an eye on station notifications, such as through WeChat or apps, to save yourself a lot of hassle. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, there's often more rain, which can dampen the vehicle's braking system. An early inspection can detect such issues, ensuring worry-free travel.
