1 Answers
The main inspection items for annual vehicle inspection include: Exterior Inspection: Primarily checks vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires. It verifies if the lights are functioning properly, if there are any non-working lights, if the vehicle's color has been altered, and if the suspension has been modified. Emissions Test: Checks whether the exhaust emissions from the vehicle during high-speed operation meet national standards. On-Road Test: Mainly focuses on the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation Check: Before the annual inspection, any traffic violation records associated with the vehicle must be cleared to pass the annual review. Required documents for vehicle inspection include: ID card, vehicle registration certificate (including a copy of the registration and vehicle photo), compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption proof, and green environmental label. Additionally, cash, a warning triangle, and a fire extinguisher must be prepared, as they are essential during the inspection. The vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle registration office up to three months before the expiration of the current inspection period (for passenger cars under 9 years old, the inspection is every 6 years). The annual inspection should be conducted within three months before the registration date on the vehicle's registration certificate. The inspection frequency varies as follows (starting from the date of registration): Operational passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 5 years; every 6 months thereafter. Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 10 years; every 6 months thereafter. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Inspection every 2 years for the first 6 years; annual inspection thereafter; every 6 months after 15 years.
