What happens to the Raptor after 15 years?
1 Answers
The Raptor must be mandatorily scrapped after 15 years. Reasons are as follows: 1. Type: Raptor series models are classified as light-duty ordinary trucks. 2. Scrapping extension: An extension can be applied for, with biannual inspections, up to a maximum of 15 years before mandatory scrapping. Additional information: Vehicle scrapping timelines are as follows: 1. Non-commercial passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including sedans and off-road models): 15 years of use. If continued use is desired after reaching scrapping standards, no approval is required. After passing inspection, the service life can be extended with biannual inspections. Beyond 20 years, from the 21st year onward, quarterly inspections are required. 2. Passenger vehicles: Tourist passenger vehicles and non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats have a 10-year use period. Continued use after reaching scrapping standards follows current procedures, with a maximum extension of up to 10 years. Tourist passenger vehicles under extended use require quarterly inspections, while non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats require biannual inspections, increasing to quarterly inspections from the 16th year onward if used beyond 15 years. 3. Commercial large buses: The use period is adjusted to 10 years. Continued use after reaching scrapping standards follows current procedures, with a maximum extension of up to 4 years, during which quarterly inspections are required.
