2020 vehicle inspection regulations: 1. Small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once every year after exceeding 6 years, and twice every year after exceeding 15 years; 2. Operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within the first 5 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years; 3. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within the first 10 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years; 4. Motorcycles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years, and once every year after exceeding 4 years; 5. The annual inspection time for motor vehicles is determined based on the registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is June 2007, the vehicle inspection time is every June. The owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. This means that vehicles undergoing annual inspection in June can participate in the inspection at the testing station in April, May, or June.
I just got a new car, coinciding with the 2020 vehicle inspection policy reform. Now, new cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years—just apply for the inspection sticker via mobile app every two years, saving all the queuing hassle. For us office workers, time is money, and this policy directly reduces stress. I also heard that vehicles under 10 years old have reduced inspection frequency, now only once every two years—what a thoughtful design. But don’t slack off on handling the sticker; the fines for overdue inspections are hefty. The current online services are super convenient, with one-click operations avoiding offline congestion. By the way, safety can’t be overlooked—regular self-checks on brakes and lights are wise. The policy reform reflects a people-first approach, making driving modern cars even more carefree.
