What are the consequences of not conducting annual vehicle inspection or scrapping?
2 Answers
If a vehicle has not undergone annual inspection for more than three inspection cycles, the system will automatically enforce deregistration. Additionally, for vehicles owned by enterprises or companies, failure to conduct the annual inspection on time will result in fines imposed on the vehicle owner or manager, and the vehicle management services for the unit will be suspended. Below is an introduction to vehicle inspection requirements: 1. Passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 5 years; every 6 months after exceeding 5 years; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 10 years; every 6 months after exceeding 10 years; 3. Small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once a year after exceeding 6 years; every 6 months after exceeding 15 years; 4. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; once a year after exceeding 4 years; 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. If an operational vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the specified period, it does not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections; 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first obtain a scrapping certificate (deregistering the vehicle's records) from the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the transaction.
My friend's car got into big trouble because it hadn't undergone the annual inspection. It was stopped by traffic police, resulting in an on-the-spot fine of 200 yuan and 3 demerit points. The biggest headache is that if you exceed three inspection cycles without getting the car inspected, it will be forcibly scrapped immediately, without even the chance to sell it as scrap metal. If you drive a scrapped car on the road, the insurance company won't pay a penny, and you'll have to cover all the costs if you hit someone. What's even more annoying is that the vehicle management system automatically locks the file, making it difficult to buy a new car and get it licensed later. Actually, getting the annual inspection done on time is really not a big deal—it's much better than getting a ticket and having to spend a fortune dealing with the mess.
