What is the vehicle scrapping period?

[LaDiana]

Non-operational vehicles and operational vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-operational vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-operational small and mini cars, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-operational passenger cars, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for operational vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini operational passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium-sized operational passenger vehicles 15 years. Mini operational trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large operational trucks 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix their seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if applicable. The vehicle 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 vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if a vehicle cannot be driven back to its registration location due to damage, the owner can submit the vehicle for scrapping to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Operational vehicles converted to non-operational status must be scrapped according to the original operational vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle's registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number for a newly purchased vehicle when registering it. The application 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.
