[SanGavin]

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrap ages, as detailed below: Scrap regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and micro vehicles have no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide them to be scrapped. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Common scrap regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger cars have a scrap age of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrap age of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrap age of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrap age of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger cars have a scrap age of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrap age of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrap age of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrap age of 10 years. The vehicle scrap process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrap renewal must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrap Approval Application Form" in duplicate and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrap Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap age, the motor vehicle inspection office will determine whether they meet the scrap standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrap Notice". The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Updated Vehicle Technical Inspection Form", "Scrap Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be recycled, and the scrap registration will be processed according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial vehicles must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrap age. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
