What does the six-year exemption from vehicle inspection mean?
2 Answers
Six-year exemption from vehicle inspection means that eligible vehicles can directly apply for the inspection label from the traffic police department without undergoing on-site inspection at a testing facility. Different types of vehicles have varying inspection times and regulations: 1. Non-commercial vehicles such as small cars are exempt from inspection for the first six years, after which they must be inspected annually; 2. Non-commercial vehicles such as small cars over 15 years old must be inspected every six months; 3. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually; 4. Commercial passenger vehicles over 15 years old must be inspected every six months; 5. Large commercial passenger vehicles and trucks must be inspected annually within the first 10 years, and every six months thereafter.
As a regular car owner who just got a new car, I didn’t know about the six-year exemption from inspection before, but I learned about it while chatting with my neighbor. Simply put, it means that for the first six years after a new car is registered, you don’t need to go to the inspection station to queue up for a vehicle inspection, saving you the hassle of waiting and inspection fees. However, every two years, you must apply for an inspection compliance sticker. You can do this directly on your phone using the traffic management app by filling out the required information, or you can visit the vehicle management office window—it’s quick and easy. Don’t delay or forget, as you could face fines and have to reapply. The policy is really convenient, saving both money and time. I just applied for it the other day, and the whole process took less than ten minutes. Of course, regular maintenance like oil changes and brake checks is still necessary—exemption from inspection doesn’t mean your car is problem-free. This policy makes life easier for both new and experienced drivers, so spread the word to your friends.
