Motorcycle Inspection Exemption Policy?

[JamesonAnn]

Motorcycles exempt from inspection for 6 years do not require on-site testing within the first 6 years. Owners only need to collect the inspection compliance mark at the traffic police station or vehicle management office in the 2nd, 4th, and 5th years. After exceeding 6 years, on-site testing becomes mandatory. Below are relevant introductions about motorcycles: 1. Composition: Motorcycles consist of five main components - engine, transmission system, running gear, steering and braking systems, and electrical instrumentation equipment. 2. Starting Method: Motorcycles primarily use kick-start mechanisms. The starting mechanism includes sector gear starting mechanisms represented by models like the Xingfu XF250 motorcycle. The kick-start gearshift lever drives the sector gear, starting ratchet, clutch assembly sprocket, front chain, and crankshaft sprocket to rotate the crankshaft and start the engine.

As a long-time motorcycle enthusiast, the new policy has made things much easier for me. For newly registered motorcycles, the first six years are exempt from on-site annual inspections, meaning you don't have to take the bike to a testing station, but you still need to apply for an inspection sticker every two years. I always do this through the Traffic Management 12123 app—it’s quick and saves time, just a few clicks and it’s done. The conditions are that the bike must not have any record of serious accidents or illegal modifications, such as engine swaps or excessively loud exhausts, which could lead to rejection. Also, remember to pay the compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle tax on time, or you won’t be able to apply. I recommend that new riders note the deadlines as soon as they buy a bike and set reminders in the app to avoid expiration. After the exemption period, when the bike is between five to ten years old, an on-site inspection is required in the sixth and tenth years. This policy is really considerate—it’s saved me hundreds in inspection fees. Safety is no joke, so I check my brakes and lights every month to ensure a worry-free ride.

Let me explain the motorcycle inspection exemption policy from a regulatory perspective. Since October 2022, China has implemented optimized measures where newly registered motorcycles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years. This means skipping the routine testing process, and owners only need to apply for an annual inspection sticker every two years. You can handle this either at the traffic police station or through an online app, requiring submission of the insurance policy and ID card. The exemption applies to small ordinary motorcycles without multiple violation records. For vehicles within ten years, the inspection cycle is simplified—only requiring on-site inspections in the 6th and 10th years between five to ten years. The benefits include reducing owner burdens and improving efficiency. I've calculated that it saves significant time and money. When applying for the sticker, don’t overlook the insurance validity period—expired compulsory insurance makes approval difficult. This policy encourages standardized vehicle use, and everyone should understand it clearly.

As a new rider, I was immediately drawn to the exemption policy when I first bought my car. New vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, which is really convenient. However, you still need to apply for the annual inspection sticker every two years. I did it online by logging into the traffic management app—super easy, no need to queue at the inspection station. The key is to keep the car in its original factory condition; any violations or modifications will disqualify you. Compulsory insurance must be renewed every year, and before applying, check the lights and brake lights to avoid delays due to minor issues. At first, I thought I didn’t have to do anything, but later I realized there’s still periodic paperwork. The app’s reminder feature helped me stay on track. It’s beginner-friendly, reduces hassle, and makes riding more carefree.
