What does the six-year exemption from inspection mean?
2 Answers
Six-year exemption from inspection refers to vehicles that meet the criteria for the six-year exemption. They can directly apply for the inspection label from the traffic police department without undergoing an on-site inspection at an inspection facility. Different types of vehicles have varying inspection schedules and regulations: 1. Non-commercial vehicles such as small cars are exempt from inspection for the first six years, after which they must undergo an annual inspection; 2. Non-commercial vehicles such as small cars that are over 15 years old must undergo inspection every six months; 3. Commercial passenger vehicles must undergo an annual inspection; 4. Commercial passenger vehicles that are over 15 years old must undergo inspection every six months; 5. Large commercial passenger vehicles and trucks must undergo an annual inspection within the first 10 years, and every six months after exceeding 10 years.
When I first bought my new car, I heard about the six-year exemption policy. Simply put, for the first six years after a new car is registered, there's no need for an annual on-site inspection. Instead, you only need to apply for an inspection label online or at the vehicle management office every two years. This policy has saved us a lot of time and money. I remember not having to go to the inspection station and endure long queues after the first year of purchasing the car, which is especially convenient for busy commuters like me. It mainly targets non-commercial small private vehicles, aiming to make car owners' lives easier. However, don't forget to renew the label, as failing to do so might affect the vehicle's legality. In daily driving, I feel this policy also encourages timely car maintenance, reminding us not to overlook safety just because of the exemption.
