[Patrick]

Vehicle annual inspection new regulations include optimized inspection cycles, expanded exemption scope for private cars, and three new inspection items added in 2021. Below are the specific details about the new vehicle annual inspection regulations: 1. Optimized inspection cycles: For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once per year to once every two years. This means private cars within 10 years only need to undergo two on-site inspections, at the 6th and 8th years. For private cars older than 10 years, the original inspection cycles still apply: 10-15 years, once per year; over 15 years, once every six months. 2. Expanded exemption scope for private cars: Based on the existing exemption for non-operational small passenger vehicles with 6 seats or less within 6 years, the exemption scope has been further expanded to include 7-9 seat non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) within 6 years. 3. Newly added items: New tire tread depth inspection, new vehicle wheelbase inspection, and new vehicle lifting device inspection have been added.
