What is the new policy for private car annual inspections?
2 Answers
The new policy for private car annual inspections stipulates that private cars only need to undergo on-site inspections twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. For private cars older than 10 years, the original inspection cycle regulations still apply. Below is a partial introduction to the new policy for private car annual inspections: 1. Legal provisions: For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years. 2. Expansion of the scope of motor vehicle exemption from inspection: On the basis of exempting non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 6 seats or less from inspection within 6 years, the exemption now also includes non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years. For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. If the vehicle is involved in a fatal traffic accident or is illegally modified and penalized according to law, it will still be inspected according to the original cycle to ensure the vehicle's safety performance.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I've noticed the private vehicle annual inspection policy has undergone significant and more user-friendly changes. Previously, vehicles over 15 years old required biannual inspections, which was quite troublesome. Now, it's been simplified to just once a year, saving us considerable time and expense. Owners like me with cars older than 15 years benefit greatly, no longer needing frequent trips to inspection stations. For newer vehicles within the first ten years, the process is even simpler – only the 6th and 10th years require physical inspections, with other years handled conveniently via mobile self-service. Overall, this policy makes annual inspections more convenient and reduces the burden on car owners, though it's crucial to regularly monitor vehicle conditions to ensure safety.
