What does vehicle inspection entail?

[VonElle]

Vehicle inspection serves as the primary technical basis for traffic management authorities to conduct safety inspections, including new vehicle registration, periodic inspections of in-use vehicles, and accident vehicle inspections. The inspection primarily examines vehicle emissions, brakes, lighting, chassis, and other components. The inspection process generally includes: emission testing, exterior body inspection, chassis inspection, speed testing, wheel load and brake testing, headlight intensity testing, and vehicle slip offset measurement. For new vehicles within the first 6 years, an annual inspection is required every 2 years, and annually thereafter. Costs may vary slightly across regions, but the technical standards remain consistent nationwide. The purpose of vehicle inspection is to ensure that vehicles meet basic safety conditions for road use. After each inspection, data is printed on the duplicate of the vehicle registration certificate, with the displayed date indicating the next inspection due date.
