1 Answers
In 2021, the regulations for annual vehicle inspections have been adjusted, expanding the scope of exempted inspections and optimizing the inspection cycle. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) with 7-9 seats and within 6 years of age have been included in the exempted inspection range. For non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years of age, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means that private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. The purpose of annual inspections: The goal of annual inspections is to check the quality of the vehicle and whether all aspects of the vehicle meet the relevant regulations for road use, primarily to ensure driving safety and also to provide a safeguard for the driver's safety. Notes for annual vehicle inspections: Vehicles should undergo annual inspections within three months before the expiration of the current inspection validity period. According to relevant laws, the owner of the vehicle must first handle any related traffic violations or accidents before proceeding with the legal process to apply for the annual vehicle inspection.
