What is the Scrap Life of a Family Car?

There is no usage period limit for passenger cars. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. Vehicle scrapping process: 1. The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. 2. Apply at the registration acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 3. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle 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 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 counter for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.
I've been researching automotive policies for a while now. There's no fixed lifespan for scrapping household sedans, unlike trucks which are retired after 15 years. The key factor is mileage - national standards mandate compulsory scrapping after exceeding 600,000 kilometers, or when the vehicle fails annual inspections. From case studies, I've learned that prolonged use leads to engine aging and increased risk of brake failure. Annual inspections check exhaust emissions and safety components - failing the brake system inspection means immediate retirement. With proper maintenance, 20 years of service isn't uncommon, but high mileage warrants caution to prevent accidents. For daily use, I recommend tracking mileage and scheduling regular garage checkups to significantly extend vehicle lifespan.
I always want to be more environmentally friendly when using my family car, and scrapping is actually related to ecological health. There are no specific age limits for scrapping family sedans, but they must be sent to the scrapyard after reaching 600,000 kilometers, otherwise the excessive emissions will seriously pollute the air. I heard from experts that old vehicles emit harmful gases in their exhaust, worsening smog, and the government is promoting electric vehicle subsidy programs to phase them out. It is recommended that car owners regularly change the engine oil and check the exhaust pipe to maintain efficiency; annual inspections strictly monitor emissions, and if old cars struggle to meet standards, it's better to replace them early—saving money and protecting the planet.
