What is the Scrap Life of a Car?
1 Answers
Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrap life regulations, as detailed below: Scrap Regulations for Non-commercial Vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage lifespan restriction. However, when the 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 vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan restrictions. Scrap Regulations for Common Commercial Vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 13 years, while other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap life of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrap life of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix their seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap life. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap life, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice." 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 chassis must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrap 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 case will be submitted for approval to complete the scrapping registration. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if a vehicle cannot be driven back to its registered location due to damage, the owner may submit the vehicle for scrapping to a local recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must still adhere to the original commercial vehicle scrap life. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," after completing vehicle transfer or deregistration, the original owner may apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The following conditions must be met: (1) The application must be submitted within six months of transfer or deregistration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for at least three years.
