What is the average lifespan of a private car?
1 Answers
Private cars are generally considered scrapped after 15 years of use or when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. However, Chinese law does not mandate the compulsory scrapping of non-commercial household private cars. Vehicles that meet the annual inspection standards and continue to be used after reaching the scrapping criteria do not require approval. According to the latest "Regulations on the Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," Article 7, the state guides the scrapping of motor vehicles that have reached certain mileage thresholds, with the main classifications as follows: 1. Introduction One: Small and micro taxi passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers, medium-sized taxi passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large taxi passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers. 2. Introduction Two: Small and medium-sized coach passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large coach passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers. 3. Introduction Three: Other small and micro operational passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers, medium-sized operational passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large operational passenger cars at 800,000 kilometers. 4. Introduction Four: Small and micro non-operational passenger cars and large non-operational cars at 600,000 kilometers, medium-sized non-operational passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large non-operational passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers.
