What is the process of vehicle inspection?

The process of vehicle inspection is: 1. Prepare the required materials for vehicle inspection, such as the vehicle license, ID cards and copies of the owner and the agent. 2. Conduct an exterior inspection of the vehicle upon arrival at the inspection site. 3. Pay the inspection fee and input the information. 4. Conduct the online inspection. 5. Perform a final review. 6. After passing the review, the relevant personnel will issue the annual inspection sticker to the owner. The inspection cycle varies depending on the vehicle type: 1. For small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles, inspect every 2 years within the first 6 years, annually after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 2. For operational passenger vehicles, inspect annually within the first 5 years and every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 3. For trucks and large and medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles, inspect annually within the first 10 years.

The vehicle inspection process is quite straightforward. First, I book an appointment at a testing station on my phone to avoid peak-hour queues. I prepare my vehicle license, ID card, and previous insurance documents, then drive there. The staff will inspect the vehicle's exterior, such as checking if the lights work and the license plate is clearly visible. Next comes the on-site testing phase: the brakes must stop the car steadily, the light intensity must meet standards, and the exhaust emissions must not exceed limits—this step is crucial. After paying an inspection fee of around 100 to 200 yuan, if everything passes, I receive a new sticker to place on the windshield. The entire process takes about half an hour to an hour. The key is ensuring the vehicle hasn’t been modified, otherwise, adjustments will be needed.

Last year, I was a bit flustered during my first vehicle inspection. A friend reminded me to bring all the necessary documents to avoid a wasted trip. At the inspection station, the test lights are often overlooked—my headlights weren’t bright enough, so I had to quickly replace a bulb. The emissions test was the most troublesome; if the readings were too high, it was suggested to clean the exhaust pipe first. During the inspection, the braking distance test had to be repeated several times to meet the standard, costing over 200 yuan. For beginners, it’s best to go early on a weekday when there are fewer people to avoid spending half a day on the process.

The vehicle inspection process involves several steps: schedule an appointment at the inspection station, check the exterior including lights and license plate, undergo on-site tests for brakes, emissions, and lights, then pay and receive the inspection sticker. Required documents include the vehicle registration and ID card, and avoid bringing modified vehicles. If the emissions test fails, repair the issue and retest. The cost is usually around 100-200 yuan, and the process is quick but don't be late. Remember to prepare a few days in advance in case of any vehicle issues.
