What happens if a motorcycle fails its annual inspection?
1 Answers
If a motorcycle does not undergo its annual inspection on time, penalties will be imposed. Failure to have the vehicle inspected as required may result in a warning or a fine. Driving a motorcycle that has not passed the annual inspection may lead to a 3-point penalty, and the vehicle may be detained until the violation is rectified. Below is additional information: 1. Mandatory scrapping standards for motor vehicles: According to Article 4 of the 'Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles,' if a registered motor vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it must be mandatorily scrapped. The owner must then sell the vehicle to a qualified recycling and dismantling company, which will handle the registration, dismantling, and destruction in accordance with regulations. The vehicle's registration certificate, license plate, and driving license must be surrendered to the traffic management department of the public security authority for cancellation. 2. New regulations on service life: Under the new rules, provincial, autonomous region, and municipal governments may establish stricter service life requirements for small and micro rental passenger vehicles (excluding pure electric vehicles) and motorcycles based on local conditions. However, the minimum service life for small and micro rental passenger vehicles must not be less than 6 years, for three-wheeled motorcycles not less than 10 years, and for other motorcycles not less than 11 years.
