For 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide them to be scrapped. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Commercial vehicles have a scrapping age limit, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 12 years. Bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping age limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out one copy of the "Application Form for Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, after inspection by the vehicle inspection office, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plate and certificate will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations after approval. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial vehicles must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation registration of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
