The "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that the materials required for the 6-year exemption vehicle inspection are divided into the following situations: If applying offline, the vehicle owner needs to prepare the following documents: vehicle license (in duplicate), the owner's ID card, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption. These should be submitted to the local vehicle management office for processing, with no fees required. If authorizing an agency to handle the process, the original ID of the agency representative and a written authorization signed by the vehicle owner must also be provided. For online applications, the required materials include copies of both sides of the owner's ID card (1:1 original print), the original vehicle license, the second copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, a personal electronic photo, and a photo of the owner holding their ID card (with the face and ID details clearly visible). The standards for the 6-year exemption are as follows: The vehicle must be a non-commercial automobile. The vehicle must have a seating capacity of 6 or fewer. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding small trucks) are included in the exemption. The vehicle type indicated on the license must be: passenger cars (small, medium, or large), small general passenger vehicles, small off-road passenger vehicles, medium general passenger vehicles, medium off-road passenger vehicles, or medium special-purpose passenger vehicles. Vehicles that have not been registered within four years from the date of manufacture are excluded. The vehicle must meet the above criteria and must not have been involved in any fatal traffic accidents during the exemption period. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the main items of vehicle inspection include: Exterior inspection: mainly checking the vehicle's lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires, ensuring the lights function properly, the body has not been repainted, and the suspension has not been modified. Emission test: ensuring the vehicle's exhaust emissions meet national standards during high-speed operation. On-road test: primarily testing the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: all traffic violations must be resolved before the inspection to pass. Vehicle inspections can be conducted up to 90 days in advance but must not be overdue. The consequences of overdue inspection, as per the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," are as follows: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving an overdue vehicle results in a 3-point penalty and a 200 CNY fine. If an accident occurs involving an overdue vehicle, the owner bears full or primary responsibility, and insurance will not cover the damages. Driving an overdue vehicle is considered illegal and may result in vehicle impoundment.
