Just go for a make-up inspection, usually a verbal warning will be given. Here are the relevant introductions about vehicle annual inspection: Regulations: If the vehicle inspection is overdue within 3 months, you only need to go for a make-up inspection directly, and a verbal warning will usually be given; Precautions for vehicle annual inspection: (1) Check if there are any errors in the insurance policy, especially for the first annual inspection of a new car. If the information on the insurance policy does not match the actual situation, go to the insurance company to correct it; (2) If you need to replace the environmental protection label, go to the auto repair shop of the Environmental Protection Bureau to test the exhaust gas in advance to save time; (3) Go to the traffic team to clear traffic violations; (This must be prioritized) (4) For annual inspection, it's better to do it early than late. Inspection at the beginning of each month will be faster; (5) Precautions: fire extinguisher, parking sign. (6) Remember to bring money, because the vehicle annual inspection is not free.

I encountered the same situation last time, and my friend at the DMV told me not to panic but to act quickly. If the inspection is overdue for more than a month, you won’t be eligible for the exemption and will have to take your car to the inspection station to queue up. Remember to bring a copy of your valid compulsory traffic insurance and your original ID card. You’ll also need to settle all traffic violations before the annual inspection can be processed. Back then, I was fined 200 yuan in late fees, though standards may vary by region. The most crucial thing is to avoid driving the overdue vehicle around—if an accident happens, insurance won’t cover it, and if caught by traffic police, your car could be impounded. After that, I set a reminder in my phone calendar three weeks before the inspection date—learning the hard way made me wiser.
