What is the service life of a sedan?
1 Answers
The state will guide the scrapping of ordinary sedans when they reach 600,000 kilometers, but there is no clearly defined service life; household sedans are not subject to mandatory scrapping, but they require regular inspections. The inspection standards are as follows: sedans aged 6-15 years must be inspected once a year, those aged 15-20 years must be inspected twice a year, and those aged 21 years or older must be inspected four times a year. For commercial vehicles, the scrapping periods are as follows: small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years; public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years; micro commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. Vehicle scrapping process: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix their seal. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter, where a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will also be issued. The owner can then choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle. 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 "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations.
