What does the 6-year exemption for new vehicles mean?
1 Answers
The 6-year exemption for new vehicles means that within the first six years, the vehicle does not need to undergo an on-site inspection. This policy applies only to private passenger cars with 5 seats or fewer. Although the on-site inspection is waived during these six years, the owner must still visit the vehicle management office every two years to obtain the annual inspection sticker. The owner must bring their ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to apply for a new annual inspection sticker. Starting from the seventh year, the vehicle must undergo an annual on-site inspection, and the owner must obtain the annual inspection sticker each year. The frequency of inspections for different vehicle types is as follows: 1. Non-commercial small passenger vehicles: Inspections are required every two years for the first six years, then annually from the seventh to the fifteenth year, and every six months after 15 years. 2. Non-commercial medium and large passenger vehicles and trucks: Inspections are required annually for the first 10 years, then every six months starting from the 11th year. 3. Commercial passenger vehicles: Inspections are required annually for the first five years, then every six months starting from the sixth year.
