The new regulations for annual vehicle inspection effective July 1, 2021 involve the cancellation of six inspection items, expansion of the six-year exemption scope, and optimization of inspection cycles. Detailed explanation of the new regulations: 1. Cancellation of six inspection items: These include power performance testing, speedometer error testing, interior noise testing, electronic parking brake testing, headlight offset testing, and suspension testing. 2. Expansion of the six-year exemption scope: The exemption now covers 7-9 seat vehicles within six years (excluding minivans). Building upon the existing exemption for non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with fewer than 6 seats within 6 years, the scope is further expanded to include non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans). 3. Optimization of inspection cycles: Private vehicles only need to undergo on-site inspection twice within 10 years. For non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle is extended from annual to biennial inspections. This means private vehicles only require on-site inspections in the 6th and 8th years within the first 10 years. For vehicles older than 15 years, the rules remain unchanged, requiring semi-annual inspections. Annual inspection precautions: Check for any traffic violation records and handle them promptly; Ensure the trunk contains a fire extinguisher and warning triangle; Replace license plates in advance if they show damage, wear, or fading; Remove any added accessories like running boards or strobe lights, and revert modified wheel hubs to original; For vehicles with 7 or more seats (like minivans), ensure all seats are properly installed to match the number on the vehicle registration, with functional seat belts for each seat.
