What Are the Consequences of Not Scrapping a Car?
1 Answers
If a car has reached its scrapping period but is not scrapped, it will affect the renewal of the driver's license or the annual inspection. Driving a car that has not undergone the annual inspection may result in fines, revocation of the driver's license, and the car being forcibly scrapped, with all costs borne by the owner. To scrap a car, you need to fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping Approval Application Form," which requires the owner's signature and fingerprint. The application will be registered and reviewed. For cars that have reached the scrapping period, a "Car Scrapping Notice" will be issued. If the car has not yet reached the scrapping period, it will be inspected and assessed. If it meets the scrapping standards, the "Car Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can then take the car to a qualified recycling enterprise with the "Car Scrapping Notice." After verifying the notice, the recycling enterprise will dismantle the car. The owner must then take the "Application Form," the "Scrapped Car Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled car to the vehicle management office for final verification and signature. The license plate will be reclaimed, and the case will be reported for approval according to regulations. The conditions for car scrapping are as follows: Non-commercial passenger cars (including sedans and off-road vehicles) with 9 seats or fewer must be scrapped after 15 years of use. Tourist passenger cars and non-commercial passenger cars with more than 9 seats must be scrapped after 10 years of use. If these cars need to continue being used after reaching the scrapping period, they must undergo strict inspections in accordance with national motor vehicle safety and pollutant emission regulations. If they pass the inspections, their service life can be extended. However, the service life of tourist passenger cars and non-commercial passenger cars with more than 9 seats cannot be extended by more than 10 years.
