What is the Scrap Life of a Minivan?

[NolanAnn]

Non-operating vehicles and operating vehicles have different scrap life periods, as detailed below: Scrap Regulations for Non-operating Vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, there is no usage life limit for non-operating small and micro vehicles. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles, large non-operating sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage life limit. Common Scrap Regulations for Operating Vehicles: Small and micro 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, other small and micro operating passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 10 years, and large and medium-sized operating passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 15 years. Micro operating trucks have a scrap life of 8 years, light and large operating trucks have a scrap life of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. The registration department accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap life. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap life, after verification by the vehicle inspection department, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes 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 owner submits the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the vehicle inspection department for verification and signature. The license plates are reclaimed, and the scrapping registration is processed according to regulations. 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 owner can submit the vehicle to a local recycling company for scrapping. If an operating vehicle is converted to a non-operating vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original operating vehicle's scrap life. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number for a new vehicle registration at the vehicle management office. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be made within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
