What does the six-year exemption for new vehicles mean?
2 Answers
New vehicle six-year exemption means that the vehicle does not need to undergo on-site inspection for the first six years, but it is required to visit the local motor vehicle inspection station every two years to update the supplementary page of the vehicle license. The procedures for the first six years of new vehicle annual inspection are: original vehicle license, owner's ID card (if not handled by the owner, the agent needs to bring their own ID card and the owner's ID card), compulsory traffic insurance policy, vehicle and vessel tax certificate. The vehicle does not need to go for the first six years. The classification of vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Private cars: the first 6 years require inspection every 2 years, from the 7th to the 15th year require annual inspection, and after 15 years require inspection every 6 months. 2. Non-operational medium and large passenger vehicles and trucks: the first 10 years require annual inspection, and from the 11th year onwards require inspection every 6 months.
When I bought my car, I learned that the six-year exemption from inspection means that for the first six years, as an ordinary car owner, I don’t have to go to the vehicle management office every year to queue up for an inspection. Instead, I only need to apply for an inspection label online every two years, which can be done directly on my phone. This saves me a lot of time and effort, and I don’t have to pay those extra fees, which is very considerate. But I have to remind everyone that this policy mainly applies to private passenger cars—large vehicles or commercial vehicles are not eligible. I also make sure to maintain my car regularly, such as checking the brakes and tires, to avoid any issues. Overall, this policy simplifies the process and makes car ownership easier.
