What is the Scrap Age Limit for Passenger Cars?

[JadeRose]

For 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage age limit. However, when the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, 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-sized taxi passenger cars have a limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a 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 limit of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a limit of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap age limit of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp it with the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap age limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap age limit, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if applicable. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle based on 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 must submit the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping 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 may submit the vehicle for scrapping to a local recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to non-commercial use, it must still be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrap age limit. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," after completing the transfer or deregistration of a motor vehicle, the original owner may apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The following conditions must be met: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or deregistration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
