What Happens If a Car Fails Its Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
From the date of registration and licensing, motor vehicles are required to undergo an inspection once in the first two years after purchase, and then annually thereafter. Failure to comply will result in the vehicle being prohibited from road use. According to relevant authorities at the vehicle management office, under the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles" implemented on May 1st of this year, any registered motor vehicle that fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection periods after the expiration of its inspection validity period will be forcibly deregistered. Vehicles that have not undergone inspection within the required period will be captured by electronic police if driven on the road and may be intercepted and impounded by traffic police. Regulations for vehicle annual inspections: 1. Consequences of failing inspection for 3 years: Registered motor vehicles that fail to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection periods after the expiration of their inspection validity period will be forcibly scrapped and deregistered. 2. Mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every two years within the first six years; after six years, once annually; and after 15 years, twice annually. 3. Operational passenger vehicles: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once annually within the first five years; after five years, once every six months. 4. Trucks: Trucks and large and medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once annually within the first ten years; after ten years, once every six months.
