Is There a Scrap Age Limit for Small Cars?

[CorbinDella]

For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide them to be scrapped. 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 usage age limit. Commercial vehicles have scrap age limits as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap age limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a limit of 12 years. Bus passenger vehicles have a scrap age limit of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a limit of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a limit of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and stamp the owner's seal. The registration desk accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap age, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection desk that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" is issued. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes 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. The owner submits the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection desk for verification and signature. The license plates are reclaimed, and the scrapping registration is processed after approval according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application is submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner has owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
