What is the service life of a family car?

[VonBraxton]

Generally, the service life of a family sedan is 15 years or when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, after which it is considered scrapped. However, Chinese law does not mandate the compulsory scrapping of non-operational private family cars. As long as the vehicle meets the annual inspection standards and continues to comply with the scrapping criteria, it can be used without requiring approval. Relevant information about vehicle restrictions is as follows: 1. Regulations: The Ministry of Transport stipulates that since September 21, double-row vehicle transport trucks are prohibited from entering expressways; starting from July 1, 2018, non-compliant vehicle transport trucks are completely banned, and standard freight vehicle models are promoted. Portable overload detection equipment STW-18 can be set up at expressway entrances for random inspections. 2. Cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks: The cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks is only a new regulation in some regions. However, vehicles that fail the annual inspection or reach 600,000 kilometers in mileage must be scrapped. Currently, most regions still enforce the 15-year scrapping rule.
