What is the 10-Year Vehicle Inspection Exemption Policy?

[SanVivian]

There is no 10-year inspection exemption policy for vehicles. Instead, new vehicles within the first 6 years can be exempted from inspection twice. Below is a detailed introduction to the inspection exemption policy: 1. Regulations: New vehicles within the first 6 years can be exempted from inspection twice, but inspections are required at the 6th and 8th years at a testing facility. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies: annual inspections for vehicles aged 10 to 15 years, and semi-annual inspections for vehicles over 15 years old. The new regulation includes 7 to 9-seater non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) within the 6-year exemption scope. For non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency is adjusted from annual to biennial. 2. Relevant Information: Vehicle safety technical inspections are conducted by authorized inspection agencies. These agencies must perform inspections according to national standards and bear legal responsibility for the results. If the registered details on the vehicle’s license do not match the actual condition of the vehicle, or if the mandatory third-party liability insurance certificate is not provided as required, the inspection will not be passed.
