1 Answers
New regulations for vehicle annual inspection: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years are included in the exemption range; for non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars only need to undergo on-site inspections twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Content of the annual inspection: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Test 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"; Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, whether the driving license, license plate, and all records in the vehicle file match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether the approval and alteration procedures have been completed; Check whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or unclear, and whether they need to be replaced; Check whether large vehicles have the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the maximum seating capacity in the driver's cabin printed in imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; Check whether the rear panel of trucks (including the rear panel of trailers) has the license plate number enlarged 2-3 times printed on the outside as required, and whether the sides of the doors of individual or joint-operation vehicles have the word "individual" printed on them; the characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).
