Effective November 20, 2021, the new vehicle inspection regulations expanded the exemption scope for motor vehicles from the original 6 years and under for vehicles with ≤6 seats to now include non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats. The inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, while vehicles aged 6-10 years will now be inspected biennially instead of annually. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, inspected biennially from 6-10 years, and inspected every 6 months if over 15 years old. Operational passenger vehicles: Inspected annually if under 5 years old, and every 6 months if over 5 years old. Medium-sized vehicles: Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles are inspected annually if under 10 years old, and every 6 months if over 10 years old. Motorcycles: Inspected biennially if under 4 years old, and annually if over 4 years old. Other vehicle types: Tractors and other motor vehicles are inspected annually.
