For private passenger vehicles, family 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage lifespan limit. When the normal driving mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan limit. Motor vehicle scrapping process: 1. The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. 2. Apply at the registration acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 3. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to send the vehicle for dismantling with the "Notice". 4. After verifying the "Notice", the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The vehicle owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.

I've been driving family cars for over twenty years, and now the mandatory scrapping age for private vehicles has been abolished. In the past, there seemed to be a regulation requiring compulsory scrapping after fifteen years, but later the policy was changed to consider mileage instead. For example, scrapping is recommended after exceeding 600,000 kilometers, or if the emissions fail to meet standards, the vehicle is directly scrapped. My old Jeep has been running for over fifteen years, and I have to undergo two annual inspections each year, which is quite a hassle. But as long as the car is in good condition, it can still be driven. The key is to keep up with regular maintenance—changing the oil, checking the brake pads—to prevent the car from aging and developing problems. This way, you can save money and be environmentally friendly, and all the buddies I know do the same. In the end, there's no need to worry about the age limit; keeping an eye on the odometer and maintaining the car on time is the right way to go. A car is just like a person; if you take good care of it, its lifespan can be significantly extended.

Seating layout and configuration: There are some differences in seating layout and configuration between the Volkswagen Multivan and Caravelle. Both the Multivan and Caravelle are imported MPVs under the Volkswagen brand, and it's still quite difficult to distinguish them based solely on their exterior appearance.
