Failure to inspect a car has the following consequences: 1. Fines and 3-point deduction when driving on the road: If an uninspected vehicle is found on the road, the traffic police department will impound the vehicle. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the driver will be fined and receive a 3-point penalty. Additionally, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Regulations on Motor Vehicle Registration" on October 1 last year, stating that motor vehicles failing to undergo safety technical inspections within the prescribed period will be subject to warnings or fines by the traffic management department of the public security authorities. 2. No coverage in case of accidents: According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," uninspected vehicles on the road not only face penalties from traffic officers but also, in the event of an accident, insurance companies can outright refuse to pay any compensation. Furthermore, under the "Motor Vehicle Third-Party Liability Insurance Clauses," if the insured vehicle is not inspected or fails inspection as required, or lacks valid driving documents at the time of an insured incident, the insurer is not liable for compensation. 3. No compensation for vehicle loss: In the terms of the insurance company's auto insurance contract, the contract only applies to qualified and legal vehicles. Uninspected vehicles are considered unqualified and are not allowed on the road as per regulations, making them exempt from insurance coverage.
