What are the new regulations for motor vehicle annual inspection in 2021?
1 Answers
New regulations mainly adjust the annual inspection items and came into effect on January 1, 2021. 1. Added inspection step: Private cars now include a "safety defect recall" check in the online inspection items. If a vehicle has safety issues and is under manufacturer recall, staff will notify the owner about the recall status. 2. Clarified visual inspection scope: The new regulations specify and relax visual inspection standards, allowing modifications to grilles, pedals, roof racks, bumpers, and wheel hubs during visual checks. 3. Three additions and six reductions for freight vehicles: Six original inspection items have been removed and three new items added. (1) New items: Tire tread depth, wheel lifting device, and wheelbase inspection. (2) Removed items: Noise, speedometer, suspension efficiency, fuel economy, power performance, and headlight offset (6 old items).
