Is There a Mandatory 15-Year Scrap Policy for Diesel Vehicles?
1 Answers
There is no mandatory retirement period for private diesel vehicles; instead, they are subject to guided retirement policies. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, it can continue to be driven on the road. The retirement of private diesel vehicles is not determined by age but rather by mileage and emission measurement data. If a private diesel vehicle reaches 600,000 kilometers in mileage, it will be mandatorily retired. Additional information: 1. New policy regulations: According to the new policy, private vehicles must undergo two annual inspections per year starting from the 15th year after registration. For vehicles over 20 years old, they must undergo four regular inspections annually starting from the 21st year. The new policy imposes strict regulations on older vehicles during inspections. During the power inspection for private vehicles, the chassis output power must not be less than 60% of the engine's rated power or 65% of the maximum net power.
