What is the maximum mileage allowed for a new vehicle registration?
2 Answers
New vehicle registration is not determined by mileage. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection and complies with relevant regulations, motor vehicle registration can be processed. Precautions for new vehicle registration: When paying the purchase tax, do not forget to bring your ID card and copies, purchase invoice, original and copy of the vehicle qualification certificate, tax declaration form, and other documents. For imported vehicles, you also need to bring the customs goods import certificate and copies, as well as the commodity inspection form and copies. Relevant regulations for new vehicle registration: According to national regulations, as long as the vehicle has a formal invoice, qualification certificate, purchase tax, and compulsory traffic insurance, any new vehicle purchased from a regular automobile trading market nationwide can be registered in the place of household registration.
I've bought cars several times and found that the mileage when registering a new car should not be too high. Generally, keeping it within 50 kilometers is quite normal. A new car has to be driven a certain distance from the factory to the dealership, say 20 to 50 kilometers, which is no problem. But if it exceeds 100 kilometers, I would feel something is off—the car might have been used for test drives or had issues, and the dealer should explain clearly before delivery. High mileage doesn’t affect the registration regulations themselves, but it can impact the car’s warranty and resale value, and you might even pay more for insurance. The last car I bought had 60 kilometers on it, and the dealer claimed it was due to transport testing. It was successfully registered, but I wasn’t entirely at ease. In short, there’s no strict rule on the upper limit for new car mileage, but keeping it low gives peace of mind.
