What is the Scrapping Period for Private Cars?

[DelKing]

Private cars do not have a mandatory scrapping period. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. The difference between guided scrapping and mandatory scrapping: Guided scrapping is a recommendation for scrapping, but if the vehicle still meets the requirements for continued use, it does not have to be scrapped. Mandatory scrapping means the vehicle must, without exception, be scrapped. There are four criteria for mandatory scrapping: reaching the stipulated service life; failing to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles even after repairs and adjustments; failing to meet national standards for pollutant emissions or noise from in-use vehicles even after repairs, adjustments, or control technology implementation; and failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection period. Motor vehicle scrapping process: The owner of the car applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form," stamped with the owner's seal. Apply at the registration and 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, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with 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 frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must 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 will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations after approval.
