What are the new motor vehicle inspection regulations for 2021?
1 Answers
In 2021, for non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years but less than 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Vehicles will undergo inspection at testing stations in their 6th and 8th years. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle remains unchanged: once a year for vehicles aged 10 to 15 years, and once every six months for vehicles over 15 years old. Below are relevant details: Added tread depth inspection: This inspection is conducted using a tire tread depth gauge. If the tire is severely worn and the depth does not meet the standard, the vehicle will fail the annual inspection. This inspection is actually quite necessary. Many car owners, especially those with older vehicles, do not pay enough attention to their tires and often wait until the tires are damaged and the car cannot be driven before considering replacement. With this inspection added, owners can check their tires before the annual inspection or replace them in advance if the wear exceeds the tread wear indicators, avoiding issues during the inspection. Added wheelbase inspection: Wheelbase testing has been added to prevent private modifications by owners. Altering the wheelbase is illegal and should not be attempted. Added vehicle lifting device: Vehicle lifting devices are familiar to many, commonly seen in 4S shop after-sales services or repair shops. Adding this device allows for a clearer observation of the vehicle's chassis condition. For example, an extended wheelbase can be easily identified.
