What is the Scrap Age Limit for Diesel Passenger Cars?

[AnaAnn]

For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Commercial vehicles have scrap age limits as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrap age limit of 8 years, medium taxi passenger cars have a scrap age limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrap age limit of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrap age limit of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrap age limit of 10 years, and large and medium commercial passenger cars have a scrap age limit of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrap age limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap age limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap age limit, after being verified by the motor vehicle inspection office and meeting the vehicle scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to send the vehicle for dismantling 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 vehicle owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Renewal Vehicle Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be recycled, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the vehicle owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a motor vehicle recycling company at the vehicle's current location. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer registration or cancellation registration of a motor vehicle, the original vehicle 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 completing the transfer registration or cancellation registration; (2) The vehicle owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
