What is the New Policy for Vehicle Inspection?
1 Answers
Annual inspection adjustments are divided into two parts: private cars and freight vehicles, as detailed below: I. Private Cars: 1. Additional Inspection Step: The 'safety defect recall' step is added to the online inspection items for private cars. If a vehicle has safety issues and is under manufacturer recall, the staff will notify the owner of the recall status. 2. Clarified Scope of Appearance Inspection: The new regulations clarify and relax the appearance inspection standards for vehicles, allowing modifications such as grilles, pedals, roof racks, bumpers, and wheel rims during the appearance inspection. II. Freight Vehicles: 1. New Additions: Three new inspection items—tire tread depth, wheel lifting device, and wheelbase. 2. Removals: Six old items—noise, speedometer, suspension efficiency, fuel economy, power performance, and headlight offset. Additional Information: New Regulations for Vehicle Inspection Within 10 Years: 1. Exemption Scope: The exemption scope for motor vehicles has been expanded from non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer to those with 7-9 seats. This means that after November 20, non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles under 6 years old with 7-9 seats will be eligible for the exemption policy. 2. Inspection Cycle: Exempt vehicles can skip on-site inspections for the first 6 years, only requiring paperwork every two years. From 6-10 years, an annual inspection is required. The new policy states that the inspection cycle for private cars remains unchanged for the first 6 years, but vehicles aged 6-10 years will shift from annual to biennial inspections. This means exempt vehicles will have biennial inspections within 10 years, with only the 6th and 8th years requiring on-site inspections.
