What is the mandatory scrapping period for blue license plate trucks?
2 Answers
Blue license plate light trucks have a scrapping period of 15 years. Below is relevant information about vehicle scrapping: 1. Required materials for vehicle scrapping: Private vehicles require the owner's ID card; vehicle license; vehicle registration certificate; license plates; for company vehicles, the organization code certificate with official seal; accident vehicles need to provide supporting documents. 2. Vehicles not inspected for 3 consecutive annual inspection cycles will be forcibly scrapped: According to the 'Mandatory Vehicle Scrapping Standards', if a vehicle fails to obtain a passing inspection mark for 3 consecutive inspection cycles after the inspection validity period expires, it must be forcibly scrapped. Driving a forcibly scrapped vehicle on the road will result in severe penalties for the driver, including a fine of 2000 yuan and revocation of driving qualifications.
I've been driving blue-plate trucks for nearly twenty years. The mandatory scrapping period is 15 years - it's a national regulation to prevent excessive risks from aging vehicles on the road. I remember when my first truck reached its expiration, though well-maintained and still operational, regulations must be followed; otherwise you'll fail the annual inspection and face fines. Routine maintenance like regular oil changes and brake system checks can delay aging, but once 15 years hit, you must process it at authorized recycling points. The good news is there's now a scrapping subsidy policy with simplified procedures. As a veteran driver, my advice is to choose relatively newer vehicles when purchasing - don't be tempted by cheap second-hand trucks nearing their scrapping period, safety comes first.
