What happens to a commercial-to-private vehicle after 8 years?
1 Answers
A commercial-to-private vehicle will be scrapped after 8 years. The mandatory scrapping standard for commercial vehicles is 8 years. From the 7th year onward, renewal and commercial-to-private conversion are no longer allowed. If the vehicle is converted from commercial to private in the 6th year, it must undergo biannual inspections and will be mandatorily scrapped after reaching 400,000 kilometers. Vehicles that fail to meet fuel efficiency and mechanical performance standards after major repairs will also be mandatorily scrapped. Scrapping process: 1. The vehicle owner must fill out and submit the 'Motor Vehicle Alteration, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping Approval Application Form' with the owner's seal; 2. The application will be registered and reviewed. Vehicles that have reached the scrapping age will receive a 'Vehicle Scrapping Notice,' while those that haven't will be inspected to confirm if they meet the scrapping standards before issuing the notice; 3. The owner must take the 'Vehicle Scrapping Notice' to a qualified recycling company to hand over the vehicle; 4. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle after verifying the notice, requiring the engine to be separated from the vehicle, the engine block to be broken, and the frame (chassis) to be cut. Photos will be taken, and a 'Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate' will be issued along with residual value payment; 5. The owner must submit the application form, 'Vehicle Technology Appraisal Form for Replacement,' 'Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate,' and dismantling photos for verification, signing, and license plate recovery. The case will then be submitted for approval to complete the scrapping registration.
