What does vehicle inspection exemption mean?

Vehicle inspection exemption refers to the exemption from online vehicle inspection, but it does not mean that the vehicle does not need to be inspected. The new vehicle inspection policy exempts small private vehicles within 6 years from the biennial "online inspection". This means that every two years when regular inspection is required, the vehicle owner must provide proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, and after handling traffic violations and accidents, directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security bureau for the inspection label. The scope of "inspection exemption" applies to non-operational cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles within 6 years. If the vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident causing casualties during this period, it still needs to undergo inspection according to the original regulations.
The concept of car exemption from inspection is quite impressive. When I first bought my car, the salesperson told me that new cars don’t need to undergo annual inspections for the first six years. Exemption from inspection means that new cars, straight from the factory, are allowed by national policy to skip the hassle of annual queuing for inspections, as they have already passed rigorous testing during production, which is quite reliable. I’m usually busy with work, and driving this car to take my kids around saves me time to spend more with my family, without worrying about taking sudden leave to visit an inspection station. However, once the exemption period expires, a mandatory inspection is required. Regular maintenance is also essential—don’t assume exemption means you never have to worry about it, or safety could be compromised. This policy is truly user-friendly and makes life much easier.
