What to Do with a Vehicle That Hasn't Undergone Inspection for Seven or Eight Years?
1 Answers
If a vehicle hasn't undergone inspection for more than 3 years, it will be subject to mandatory scrapping. Below is more relevant information: 1. Vehicle Inspection Lapse: A vehicle that hasn't undergone inspection refers to one that hasn't completed the annual inspection as required by regulations or hasn't been inspected for 1 year. Many second-hand cars fall into this category. These vehicles are often cheap, but the second-hand car market is mixed with all kinds of cars. It's advisable not to purchase a car whose background you don't fully understand, especially second-hand vehicles that haven't undergone inspection, as they can lead to severe consequences such as penalties and point deductions when driven on the road. It is recommended not to buy vehicles with incomplete documentation that haven't undergone inspection. 2. Reinspection: For vehicles in good technical condition, the owner can visit the local vehicle management office and fill out the 'Application for Postponement of Vehicle Scrapping.' Relevant personnel will then complete the reinspection procedures. 3. Approval Procedures: Any vehicle seeking delayed scrapping must first pass an inspection by the public security vehicle management department before approval. Only after approval can the vehicle be driven on the road. Approval procedures vary depending on the number of seats. For passenger transport vehicles with nine or more seats, approval must be sought from the municipal vehicle management office within a five-year period. If this period has already been exceeded, the process becomes more complicated. The vehicle must first undergo preliminary review by the municipal vehicle management office before being submitted to the provincial vehicle management office for approval. For various types of commercial vehicles, approval must be sought from the municipal vehicle management office within a two-year period. If further postponement is requested after exceeding this period, preliminary review by the municipal vehicle management office is required before submission to the provincial vehicle management office for approval. For other types of vehicles, regardless of the number of years, approval is directly handled by the municipal vehicle management office. Reinspection of vehicles that haven't undergone inspection involves penalties and point deductions. The standards for these penalties and deductions vary depending on the number of years and the type of vehicle. Owners should always remember their vehicle inspection deadlines to avoid unnecessary trouble.
