New regulations for vehicle annual inspection: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years are included in the exemption range; for non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars only need to undergo on-site inspection twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Contents of the annual inspection: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Inspect whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety performance meet the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle file registrations match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether approval and alteration procedures have been completed; Check whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced; For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the maximum seating capacity in the cab are printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear fender (including the rear fender of the trailer) is printed with the license number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door for individual or joint-operation vehicles; the characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).
