1 Answers
Mandatory scrapping periods for motor vehicles: 1. Taxis (small and mini) - 8 years. 2. Tourist and highway passenger vehicles (large and medium) - 15 years. 3. Non-operational large and medium vehicles - 20 years. 4. Mini trucks - 12 years. 5. Heavy, medium, and light trucks - 15 years. 6. Semi-trailer tractors - 15 years. 7. Non-operational small and mini vehicles have no usage period limit, but must undergo biannual inspections after 15 years. Vehicles failing inspection will be mandatorily scrapped. Scrapping procedure: 1. Vehicle owners applying for scrapping must complete and stamp the "Motor Vehicle Alteration, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form". 2. Apply at the registration counter. For vehicles reaching scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles not reaching scrapping age but meeting scrapping standards after inspection, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notification" will be issued. 3. Owners choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". 4. The recycling company verifies the "Notice", dismantles the vehicle, and takes photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, engine block destroyed, and chassis cut. 5. Owners submit the "Alteration Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Assessment Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and dismantling photos to the inspection counter. After verification and approval, license plates are reclaimed and scrapping registration is processed.
