What does a vehicle inspected every 2 years need to do annually?

A vehicle inspected every 2 years only needs to be driven normally, pay attention to traffic violations, and undergo regular maintenance, without requiring any special actions. Required documents for biennial vehicle inspection: owner's ID card (if handled by an agent, the agent's ID card is required), original and duplicate pages of the vehicle license, duplicate of compulsory traffic insurance, and the vehicle and vessel tax invoice for the year of inspection. Below are the precautions for vehicles that have not undergone inspection: Accident liability: For all traffic accidents caused by vehicles that have not participated in the inspection on time, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not bear any responsibility. This is because the insurance policy specifies that objects of refusal to compensate include vehicles with expired inspection. Mandatory scrapping: According to the "Regulations on the Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles", if a motor vehicle fails to obtain a qualified inspection mark within 3 consecutive inspection periods after the expiration of the inspection validity period, it will be mandatorily scrapped.

I drive a car that only requires inspection every two years, and every year I perform some key maintenance to keep it running smoothly. Changing the oil is the top priority, usually done every six months or a year, adjusted based on driving habits. At the same time, I check the oil filter to ensure its filtering effectiveness. I measure the tire pressure myself once a month, and annually check if the tread depth is below 1.6mm—otherwise, it can easily skid in the rain. A full test of the lighting system is essential: headlights, brake lights, and turn signals must all be functional. I quickly check them myself with tools to avoid nighttime accidents. I always listen for any strange noises when braking, and if it feels slow, I send it for repair immediately. The wipers are replaced before the rainy season every year to ensure clear visibility. These tasks don’t take much time—just half an hour—but they greatly extend the car’s lifespan and avoid costly major repairs. Also, remember to clean the engine bay, as dirt buildup can cause corrosion.

As a car enthusiast, I take vehicle maintenance very seriously. In non-inspection years, I perform a comprehensive check-up at least once annually. The top priority is changing the engine oil and air filter to keep the engine clean. I also inspect the braking system: replacing brake discs if they're too thin, and topping up brake fluid if levels are low. For tires, it's not just about checking pressure – I examine sidewalls for cracks or bulges and measure tread depth yearly to prevent skidding. All lights get tested, including fog lights and reverse lights, to ensure safe driving. The cooling system gets attention too, with coolant replacement if its color changes. I like to check the steering system for unusual noises and verify the power steering pump's operation. These hands-on tasks help me better understand my car's condition, saving money while enhancing the driving experience. Interior cleaning matters too – I wipe leather seats weekly to prolong their lifespan.

I've been driving for over a decade and know that annual maintenance is crucial. The focus is on safety and routine checks: change the engine oil at least once, and replace the oil filter simultaneously. Check tire pressure monthly to ensure it meets the manual's standards. Test the brakes for sensitivity, and repair them immediately if there's any unusual noise. Inspect the lighting system yourself—headlights, brake lights, all lights must be functional. Replace wiper blades yearly to avoid blurred vision. Also, check the coolant and brake fluid levels; top them up if too low. Simple self-checks save time and trouble, ensuring safety on the road.
