What does it mean for a vehicle to undergo annual inspection?

Vehicle annual inspection, also known as motor vehicle safety technical inspection, serves as the primary technical basis for the traffic management departments of public security authorities in conducting safety technical inspections for new vehicle registrations, periodic inspections of in-use vehicles, and accident vehicle inspections. The content of the annual inspection includes the following aspects: 1. Whether the vehicle comes with a user manual, certificate of conformity (for imported vehicles, the commodity inspection certificate), and whether the factory sample marks on the vehicle body are complete. 2. Measurement of the internal and external contour dimensions of the motor vehicle, as well as the track width and wheelbase. Specific measurement items include vehicle length, width, height, height and area of the cargo compartment side panels, track width, and wheelbase. 3. Conducting inspections item by item according to technical inspection standards. Upon passing the inspection, fill out the "Motor Vehicle Initial Inspection Change Registration Form" and record the unladen mass, load capacity, number of passengers, and number of occupants in the cab as specified by the manufacturer.
Vehicle annual inspection refers to the process of driving your car to a specialized testing facility once a year for a thorough examination. As a car owner, I believe this is crucial because the testing facility is equipped with fixed devices featuring various sensors and instruments to check whether your car meets standards in braking performance, light brightness, exhaust emissions, etc. If the car fails the inspection, it cannot be driven on the road until repaired and retested, otherwise you might face fines or insurance issues. I remember last year when I took my car for inspection, I was particularly worried about the lights being too dim to pass, but it only took half an hour to complete. I recommend that new car owners familiarize themselves with the process early on and bring their vehicle registration and insurance documents to ensure both safety and convenience.
