When does the 6-year vehicle inspection exemption period start?

[MacCatherine]

It starts from the date of vehicle registration, and the exemption applies for 6 years. Below is relevant information about the 6-year inspection exemption policy: 1. Exemption Policy: Non-commercial large, compact, and mini vehicles (with fewer than 7 seats) registered within 6 years, as well as non-commercial compact and mini passenger vehicles, are eligible for the 6-year inspection exemption. 2. Registration Requirements: Vehicles including vans and those with 7 seats or more; vehicles that have not been registered for more than 4 years since the manufacturing date; vehicles involved in fatal accidents; or vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or accidents are not eligible for the 6-year inspection exemption. 3. Exemption Scope: Vehicles within the exemption scope are exempt from on-site inspections for 6 years but must apply for the inspection exemption mark at the vehicle management office every two years by presenting the vehicle license, ID card, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy.

When I bought my first car, I was curious about the inspection exemption policy. Simply put, it starts from the vehicle registration date, which is the day your car gets licensed. The registration date on the vehicle license is the official starting point. If no fatal accidents occur within the first six years, you don’t need to queue up at the DMV for an annual inspection—much more convenient! But remember, you must apply for an inspection exemption sticker every two years via the 12123 App; missing this could result in a fine. The registration date isn’t the same as the purchase invoice date, a common confusion. After purchase, the 4S dealership handles licensing, and the six-year countdown begins once recorded. If you’re involved in a major accident, the exemption is voided—so safe driving is key. I now mark my registration date in my phone calendar to remind myself of deadlines—it works great.

Regarding the starting point of the 6-year inspection exemption, from a policy perspective, it is clearly based on the vehicle's registration date. This date is recorded in the traffic management system as the first legal operation time of the vehicle, usually the day when the license plate registration is completed. The exemption applies to small passenger vehicles, provided there are no fatal major accidents involving the vehicle. A full 6-year period is calculated from that date, during which the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspections but requires applying for an inspection decal every 2 years. The registration date is detailed on the vehicle license or can be checked via the 12123 App. If the vehicle is involved in a qualifying accident or violation, the exemption eligibility is revoked, making it crucial to verify records promptly. This policy design reduces hassle for owners, but don't confuse it with the purchase date, which is calculated separately. Beyond 6 years, regular annual inspections apply, so plan ahead.

The 6-year exemption from inspection is calculated from the vehicle registration date, which is essentially the day the license plate was issued. This date can be found on the first page of the vehicle registration certificate—just check it to confirm. For the first six years without major accidents, the vehicle doesn’t need to undergo an inspection line test, but you must apply for the exemption mark every two years. Remember, the registration date is not the purchase date, so don’t miss the timeline. Drive safely in daily use, as too many accidents may disqualify you. Simply put, handle it on time.

The 6-year exemption from inspection policy is calculated from the date of vehicle registration. Historically, the policy was stricter in the past but has now been relaxed. The starting point is the license plate registration date, counting 6 years from the moment of registration with the traffic management department. Every two years, you only need to obtain a label via the app without an on-site inspection. The registration date can be checked on the vehicle license or traffic websites to avoid confusion with the insurance date. The policy aims to reduce burdens, but vehicle conditions should be well-maintained without delay.
