For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-operational small and micro vehicles have no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Operational vehicles have scrapping periods, as follows: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro operational passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized operational passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Micro operational trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large operational trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The motor vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For motor vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection office, if they meet the vehicle scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". After checking the "Notice", the recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner submits the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature, then surrenders the license plates and documents, and completes the scrapping registration according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the vehicle owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Operational vehicles converted to non-operational vehicles must be scrapped according to the original operational 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 vehicle owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased 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 registration; (2) The vehicle owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
