New Regulations for Annual Vehicle Inspection of Passenger Cars in 2020
2 Answers
New regulations for annual vehicle inspection of passenger cars in 2020: For commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year thereafter, and every 6 months after 15 years. For motorcycles, inspections are required every 2 years within the first 4 years, and once a year thereafter. Tractors and other motor vehicles require an annual inspection.
As a small car owner, I just experienced the new annual inspection regulations in 2020, and the changes are quite significant. Previously, new cars had to undergo an on-site inspection every year within the first six years. Now, non-commercial small cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, but you need to apply for an inspection sticker every two years. It's much more convenient! You can handle it directly through a mobile app by uploading compulsory insurance documents and other required materials—quick and easy. Additionally, electronic inspection stickers have been promoted, replacing paper ones, making the car look cleaner. During the pandemic, the deadlines were also extended to avoid crowding and long queues. I recommend everyone register an account on the vehicle management office website and complete the process in advance instead of waiting until the last minute. If your car is over six years old, make sure to get it inspected on time—don’t cut corners at the expense of safety. Remember these new rules to save a lot of time and hassle.
