1 Answers
Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrappage age limits, as detailed below: Scrappage regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage age limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrappage. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Scrappage regulations for common commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrappage age limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrappage age limit of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrappage age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks 10 years. The vehicle scrappage process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrappage and renewal should fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrappage" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrappage Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrappage age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrappage age, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrappage standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrappage Notice" if applicable. The owner will 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 will submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrappage registration will be processed after approval according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner may sell the vehicle for scrappage to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to non-commercial use, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrappage time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
