What are the motorcycle scrapping standards?

National regulations stipulate that the service life of two-wheeled motorcycles is 10 years, which can be extended for 3 years. However, during the 3-year extension period, semi-annual inspections are required, and the extension can only be granted after passing the inspection. After 13 years, mandatory scrapping must be implemented. Owners of two-wheeled motorcycles and lightweight two-wheeled motorcycles that have reached a service life of 10 years after registration must go to the local vehicle registration authority to complete the vehicle deregistration before the scrapping deadline. The following types of motorcycles should be scrapped: Standard 1: Lightweight two-wheeled motorcycles, lightweight three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles that have accumulated a mileage of 100,000 kilometers, and standard three-wheeled motorcycles that have accumulated a mileage of 80,000 kilometers; Standard 2: Lightweight two-wheeled motorcycles, lightweight three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles that have reached a service life of 8-10 years, and standard three-wheeled motorcycles that have reached a service life of 7-9 years. The specific service life is determined by the relevant departments of the provincial, autonomous region, or municipal government within the above service life range, based on local conditions; Standard 3: Vehicles that are severely damaged and cannot be repaired; Standard 4: Motorcycles whose fuel consumption exceeds 20% of the specified value in the national "Announcement" for the corresponding displacement model's factory standards; Standard 5: Vehicles that still fail to meet the national motor vehicle safety technical requirements after repair and adjustment; Standard 6: Vehicles whose exhaust pollutants or noise still exceed national or local emission standards after repair, adjustment, or the adoption of emission control technologies.

Having ridden motorcycles for over a decade, I'm quite familiar with the scrapping standards. There are mainly three hard criteria: vehicles must be scrapped after 13 years of use – you rarely see such old bikes on the road these days. Those that have run over 100,000 kilometers also face mandatory scrapping, as the engines are pretty much worn out. The most practical standard is the annual inspection – if you fail three times in a row, just give up; you can't keep vehicles with hazards like excessive emissions or brake failures. I've seen people stubbornly hold onto their bikes, only to stall dangerously on the road. If the frame is deformed or the engine needs major repairs, it's better to scrap it outright – the repair costs could buy you a used bike. Policies vary slightly by region, so checking with the local vehicle management office is your best bet.

Often help friends deal with motorcycle scrapping. The key points are: bikes over 13 years must be scrapped, those exceeding 100,000 km must go too, and failing annual inspection three times leaves no room for negotiation. Seeing overdue old bikes on the road is nerve-wracking - brake pads thin as paper. Excessive emissions are the worst; last year helping a neighbor scrap his smoke-belching bike, the inspector just shook his head. Modified exhaust pipes are especially problematic - instant inspection failure. Heard Guangdong restricts transfers for bikes over 8 years? Suggest handling it 2-3 months in advance, don't wait until police stop you to panic.

Just dealt with my old motorcycle a couple of days ago, the scrapping standards are actually quite clear. Automatic expiry after 13 years of use, or if the odometer exceeds 100,000 kilometers. Failing the annual inspection three times means it's game over - issues like incomplete lighting or brake failure often make repairs less worthwhile than replacing the vehicle. If the engine has undergone major repairs, it's basically not worth keeping. Remember to bring the registration certificate and license plate to the dismantling factory, they'll issue a scrapping certificate that can offset the purchase tax for a new car. Seen motorcycles with welded frames on the road - now that's scary. The new regulations have also tightened emission standards, so it's best to dispose of yellow-label vehicles as soon as possible.
