2 Answers
The main items of vehicle annual inspection are: 1. Check whether the engine, chassis, body and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and beautiful, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they are consistent with the initial inspection records; 2. Check whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust and other safety performance meet the requirements of the technical conditions for safe operation of motor vehicles; 3. Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled or transformed, whether the driving license, license plate and all vehicle file records are consistent with the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether the approval and change procedures have been completed; 4. Check whether the license plate, driving license and the enlarged license plate characters sprayed on the vehicle are damaged, altered or unclear, and whether they need to be replaced; 5. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township or town where the vehicle is located and the number of people limited to sit in the cab are sprayed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required, and whether the rear fender of the truck is sprayed with the license number enlarged 2 to 3 times as required.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I'm quite familiar with the annual vehicle inspection process. Key items include the lighting check to ensure headlights and turn signals are fully functional; brake testing is essential for immediate stopping in emergencies; the steering system must operate smoothly without hesitation during turns; emission testing verifies exhaust compliance with environmental standards; tire inspection covers pressure and tread depth—too thin is dangerous; seat belts and horns also get checked. I remember one year I almost rear-ended someone because I skipped pre-inspection brake checks—what a close call! Now I go punctually every year—it ensures safety and avoids fines. Regular maintenance like oil changes makes passing inspections effortless. The key is prioritizing these details to prevent roadside troubles.
