What are the items tested in vehicle inspection?

Vehicle inspection primarily includes six major items: exhaust emission testing, appearance inspection, wheel weight and braking, speed detection, headlight testing, and side slip testing. Annual vehicle inspection: According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" (Order No. 102 of the Ministry of Public Security), vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location up to three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. This means that if the deadline is July 2018, the earliest the annual inspection can be completed is May 1st, and the latest is July 31st. Annual inspection time: Motor vehicles can undergo annual inspection up to three months before the annual inspection deadline. The deadline for the annual inspection can be found on the supplementary page of the vehicle license, which states the inspection validity period until a certain year and month. For example, if the vehicle license copy states "Inspection valid until July 2018," then the annual inspection should be conducted within May, June, and July, with the final deadline being July 31st.

I just went for my vehicle annual inspection, and as a new driver, I was quite nervous but learned a lot. The annual inspection typically includes several key checks: first is the exterior inspection, where the staff will check for any scratches or damage on the body and ensure that the headlights, taillights, and turn signals are all functioning and properly positioned; next is the braking test, where the car is tested on a simulated platform to measure braking force, ensuring it can stop safely in an emergency; then comes the steering system check, examining the sensitivity of the steering wheel and any unusual noises; followed by the actual measurement of light brightness, using instruments to test whether the high and low beams meet the standard; finally, there's the emissions test, analyzing the concentration of pollutants in the exhaust to see if the vehicle is eco-friendly. The whole process takes about 40 minutes, and I noticed that severely worn brake pads can easily cause issues, so checking them in advance can save trouble. The annual inspection isn’t just a formality—it helped me identify potential risks, like broken lights which make driving at night very dangerous. I recommend everyone to get it done on time every year.

As a seasoned driver with over 30 years of experience, I've undergone numerous annual vehicle inspections. The inspection items mainly cover basic aspects such as exterior, lighting, braking, steering, and emissions. For the exterior part, they check the tread depth of tires and whether there are cracks in the headlight casings, which directly affect driving safety in rainy conditions. During the lighting test, inspectors use professional equipment to measure light intensity, ensuring clear signaling. Braking inspection involves testing on a platform to verify brake performance—if components are worn out, it might lead to failure. The steering check assesses the rebound force of the steering wheel. The emissions test, conducted last, analyzes the CO2 levels in the exhaust. My advice is to check your vehicle's condition one or two weeks in advance—like replacing bulbs or adjusting the steering—to avoid the hassle of re-inspection. Although the annual inspection seems simple, it helps prevent minor issues from becoming major hazards. I learned this the hard way when I had a minor accident due to brake issues in my younger days, and now I place greater emphasis on these safety checks.

Vehicle annual inspection involves several core testing items, which in my opinion are all crucial for ensuring safety. It includes an exterior examination to check headlights and body integrity to prevent external risks; brake system evaluation, simulating emergency stops to test reaction time; steering control inspection to ensure flexible and stable steering wheel control; actual testing of lighting functions using an illuminometer to verify brightness compliance; and exhaust emission analysis to monitor pollution indicators. All these are designed to prevent accidents, such as brake failure, which is extremely dangerous on highways. I often enjoy studying cars and have found that regular maintenance, like cleaning lamp covers or calibrating steering, can improve the pass rate, but don't overlook these small steps. Annual inspection is not just a pass card; it urges us to take care of our vehicles and maintain road safety.
