For non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles, there is no mandatory service life limit. However, the state will recommend scrapping when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers under normal driving conditions. After 15 years of service, vehicles must undergo biannual inspections. Those failing the inspections will be mandatorily scrapped. Vehicle scrapping procedure: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and replacement should fill out and stamp the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension or Scrapping"; submit the application at the registration counter to obtain a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the service life limit. For vehicles not reaching the service life limit, after inspection and confirmation of meeting scrapping standards, the inspection station will issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice"; the owner then chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle; the recycling company verifies the notice, dismantles the vehicle and takes photos. Requirements include: separating the engine from the vehicle, breaking the engine block, and cutting the frame (chassis); the owner submits the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Assessment Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate" and dismantling photos to the inspection station for verification and signature. The license plates are reclaimed, and the case is submitted for approval to complete the scrapping registration.
