What is the process for vehicle inspection?

The process for vehicle inspection includes exterior inspection, fee payment and information entry, and on-line inspection. Here are the detailed steps: Exterior inspection: Prepare the fire extinguisher and triangular warning sign in the vehicle, and open the engine compartment and trunk for inspection by the staff. Key points to note during the exterior inspection are whether safety equipment such as the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher are complete, and whether the vehicle's color and appearance match the photo on the driving license. Fee payment and information entry: Go to the procedure hall to pay the fee and enter the information. On-line inspection: The main checks include the vehicle's exhaust, brakes, lights, and chassis. A reminder for car owners who like modifications: before the annual inspection, restore your beloved car to its original condition, otherwise it will not pass the inspection.
Last year when I went for my first vehicle inspection, I checked the process in advance and found it quite simple. I just needed to bring my vehicle license and insurance policy, drive to the nearby inspection station, and queue up for registration directly. The staff guided me through an exterior check first, verifying that the lights, license plate, and tires were all in good condition, followed by onboard tests for brakes, lights, and exhaust emissions. That day, my headlights had a minor issue, but fortunately, the on-site repair station fixed it in ten minutes, and I passed. The whole process took less than an hour, and now you can even use a mobile app to schedule an appointment to avoid long waits. The annual inspection ensures road safety, so I recommend going about a month before the deadline to avoid delays. Having all your documents ready makes things smoother. Also, make sure your vehicle is well-maintained before the inspection to pass in one go and avoid repeated trips that could disrupt your travel plans.
