What is the vehicle scrapping time limit?

[DeMichael]

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping time limits, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as small and micro non-commercial vehicles, there is no usage time limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage time limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping time limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping time limit of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping time limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping time limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping time limit, after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection office, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 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 "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Inspection Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor 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 the registration location due to damage, the owner can deliver the vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company for scrapping. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial vehicles must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrapping time limit. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The following conditions must be met: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
