What happens if the vehicle inspection validity period expires?
1 Answers
Driving a vehicle with an expired inspection validity period will result in 3 penalty points and a fine. If a traffic accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone annual inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility. Driving without timely annual inspection is considered illegal operation and may lead to vehicle impoundment. If a vehicle fails to obtain the mandatory inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period, it will be subject to compulsory scrapping. Here is additional information: 1. Vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection (or motor vehicle inspection) refers to the annual inspection conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety" for vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates. The purpose is to examine the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, ensure the vehicle remains in good condition, and guarantee driving safety. 2. Annual inspection documents: Required documents include the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy (copy), the inspector's ID card, a triangular warning sign, and a fire extinguisher. (Vehicle violations must be resolved, and no modifications are allowed on the vehicle body).
