For a 6-year vehicle inspection, you need to visit both the DMV and the inspection station. Below are the specific regulations for vehicle annual inspections: 1. Passenger transport vehicles: Inspection once per year within the first 5 years; every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 2. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspection once per year within the first 10 years; every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. 3. Small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspection once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once per year after exceeding 6 years; every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 4. Exemption policy: 6-seat and smaller family vehicles enjoy a 6-year exemption policy. The prerequisite for the 6-year exemption is no major traffic accidents during this period. If an accident occurs, an on-site inspection is mandatory. 7-seat and larger vehicles do not qualify for the 6-year exemption policy and still require inspection every 2 years during the first 6 years.
