What is the current scrapping age limit for sedans?
1 Answers
For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and micro vehicles, there is no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping age limits, as follows: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 12 years. Bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping age limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice". The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plate will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner can hand over the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a new motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
