1 Answers
New regulations for vehicle annual inspections: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and mini buses (excluding vans) with 7-9 seats that are within 6 years of age are included in the exemption range; for those over 6 years but under 10 years of age, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections 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 the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with 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 registered vehicle records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether approval and modification 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, along with the maximum seating capacity in the driver's cabin, is printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear fender (including the trailer's rear fender) has the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times on the outside as required, and whether the sides of the door for individual or joint-venture vehicles are printed with the word "individual"; the characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).
