Car annual inspection includes: 1. Check whether the engine, chassis, body and its auxiliary equipment are clean, complete and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and beautiful, and whether the main assembly has been replaced and matches the initial inspection record; 2. Check whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust and other safety performance meet the technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles; 3. Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or transformed, whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle file registrations match the actual condition of the vehicle, and whether the approval and modification procedures have been completed. For the car annual inspection, you need to bring the owner's ID card and a copy, compulsory traffic insurance policy, driving license and the vehicle.
I had my car inspected last year, and I remember they mainly checked a few major items. The exterior inspection is the first step, where the officer walks around the car to check if the VIN and license plate are clear, and if there are any obvious modifications or damages to the body. Then comes the safety inspection, focusing on the brake system test to ensure the braking force is stable enough, as well as the lighting test to make sure all lights are functioning properly. Next, the car goes on the inspection line for an emissions test to see if it meets environmental standards. Finally, they check the chassis suspension and engine condition, listening for unusual sounds and checking for oil leaks. The whole process takes about half an hour. If you've modified the exhaust pipe or the tire size doesn't match the standard, you might fail. It's recommended to replace bulbs and check brake pads in advance to avoid making two trips.
