What are the motor vehicle inspection regulations?
1 Answers
Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, they must be inspected once annually; after 15 years, they must be inspected twice a year. Below are the specific details of vehicle annual inspections: 1. Meaning of annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation." 2. Exemption policy: Non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years. However, owners still need to pass an exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually every 2 years) and apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police substation, which must then be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Applicability of the exemption policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial passenger vehicles and similar vehicles has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered on or after September 1, 2012, are eligible for 2 exemptions; those registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, are eligible for 1 exemption; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review procedures.
