What is the Scrapping Age Limit for Minivans?
2 Answers
Vehicle scrapping age limits are 8 years, 10 years, 12 years, and 15 years. Below is relevant knowledge about vehicle scrapping: Vehicle scrapping age limits: For family-use 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage age limit. The state will guide scrapping when the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. After exceeding 15 years, vehicles must undergo inspection twice annually, and will be forcibly scrapped if they fail inspection. Pickup trucks must be scrapped after 15 years. While pickups may be considered civilian cars in the US, Chinese regulations uniformly treat them as trucks. Vehicle scrapping subsidy policies: Appropriate continuity of policies will be maintained. According to the scale of subsidy funds, subsidies will continue to be provided for urban buses, rural passenger vehicles that meet scrapping standards and are scrapped and renewed in advance, as well as heavy-duty trucks that are scrapped in advance, to facilitate urban and rural residents' travel, promote freight quality improvement, and safeguard the vital interests of the general public.
The scrapping policy for minivans has actually become more lenient now! Friends who used to operate commercial minivans know this best—previously, they had to be mandatorily scrapped after 10 years, but now it's changed to guided scrapping at 600,000 kilometers. Private minivans still have a 15-year scrapping period, but if your family's minivan passes the annual inspection after 15 years, theoretically, it can continue to be driven. However, to be honest, a 15-year-old minivan is usually falling apart by then, and the repair costs often exceed the vehicle's value, making it more economical to just buy a new one. I know a few buddies in the transportation business who took advantage of the new policy and replaced their vehicles last year.
