What are the regulations for small vehicle annual inspections?
1 Answers
According to the latest vehicle annual inspection regulations, for non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years but less than 10 years old, the inspection cycle has been 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. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies: vehicles aged 10-15 years require annual inspections, while those over 15 years old need inspections every six months. Below is additional information: 1. Annual inspection schedules for various vehicle types: (1) Operational passenger vehicles: annual inspection for the first 5 years; every 6 months after 5 years; (2) Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles: annual inspection for the first 10 years; every 6 months after 10 years; (3) Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: exempt from inspection twice within 6 years (but require annual inspection sticker application every two years); annual inspection after 6 years; every 6 months after 15 years. 2. Required documents for personal vehicle annual inspection: (1) Original vehicle license and road/bridge card; (2) Copy of compulsory traffic insurance; (3) Road/bridge ticket (first copy in black); (4) Copy of owner's ID card; (5) The vehicle itself.
