In 2021, private vehicle inspections will cancel the power performance test, interior noise test, electronic parking brake test, etc. Cancellation of the power performance test: In the past, during the exhaust emission test, inspectors would often floor the accelerator, which distressed many car owners. However, starting next year, this power performance test will be canceled and replaced with an OBD test. This not only allows direct access to vehicle data but also checks the vehicle's emission standards. Cancellation of the interior noise test: During vehicle use, loosening and malfunctions are inevitable, leading to certain abnormal noises. Previously, vehicles that did not meet the noise emission standards would not receive an inspection pass mark. After the reform, this test will also be canceled.

I've been commuting in my private car and heard that the 2021 new regulations have made annual inspections much simpler. The main change is the elimination of the biennial exemption report requirement for private cars within six years - now they're directly exempt from inspection until the sixth year when an on-site vehicle condition test is needed. They've also done away with the hassle of semi-annual inspections for vehicles over 15 years old, changing it to just one annual inspection. This is fantastic for me - it saves queuing time for paperwork, reduces leave days needed, and cuts costs, potentially saving over a thousand yuan in inspection fees per year. However, with looser policies, I need to conduct more self-checks, paying regular attention to tire wear and engine condition to ensure driving safety without hidden risks. Overall, the new regulations feel more user-friendly, but they also place greater responsibility on car owners.

Having driven a private car for so many years, the 2021 annual inspection adjustments are a positive change. The new regulations eliminated two requirements: first, new cars within six years no longer need to apply for exemption from inspection at the testing station every two years, and the first on-site inspection is only required in the sixth year; second, vehicles older than fifteen years no longer need to be inspected every six months, now an annual inspection is sufficient. This has made my life much easier, as fewer inspections mean saving both time and effort. I remember how each inspection used to require queuing for half a day, but now these hassles are significantly reduced. However, it's important to remind everyone that with longer intervals between inspections, potential vehicle issues might be overlooked. Therefore, I personally make it a habit to regularly check the brakes and lighting systems to maintain stable vehicle performance.

As a young person driving a private car, the 2021 annual inspection reform is really beneficial. The key change is the cancellation of the mandatory biennial inspection report for private cars within six years, now requiring only an on-site inspection in the sixth year. Additionally, vehicles over 15 years old no longer need semi-annual inspections, shifting to an annual check instead. This makes my daily driving more convenient, saving unnecessary inspection procedures and time. With the simplified regulations, I can visit inspection stations less often and spend more time commuting or enjoying leisure activities. However, vehicle safety shouldn't be neglected; I regularly check tire pressure and fluid levels to ensure everything is in order. Though the changes seem minor, their impact is significant, fitting well with the pace of modern life.
