1 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection, commonly referred to as vehicle inspection, is stipulated in the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" as follows: Article 16: Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: (1) Passenger vehicles for commercial use shall be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months; (2) Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles shall be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months; (3) Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles shall be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; after 15 years, once every 6 months; (4) Motorcycles within the first 6 years are exempt from inspection at inspection agencies. When periodic inspection is required, the owner can directly apply for the inspection compliance label at the traffic management department of the public security bureau. (5) Tractors and other motor vehicles shall be inspected once a year. Commercial motor vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period are not required 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 owner can first obtain the vehicle's scrapping certificate (canceling the vehicle's record) at the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the transaction.
