You can check the production date of a new car from the following locations: 1. Check the nameplate in the engine compartment: The nameplate in the engine compartment displays information such as the car's serial number, engine displacement, model, brand, and production date. 2. Check the nameplate around the door seam: There is also a nameplate around the driver's or passenger's door seam. After noting the production date, you can cross-check it with the nameplate in the engine compartment. 3. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) below the windshield: The 10th digit of the VIN indicates the production date of the car, and each vehicle's VIN is unique.

Can China III vehicles still pass inspection?

China III vehicles can still pass inspection at present. Here is relevant information: 1. China III vehicles should still be able to pass inspection for 2-3 years, as there is no unified standard yet. Theoretically, private cars with China III emission standard gasoline engines can continue to be driven as long as they pass the annual inspection at local motor vehicle inspection stations. 2. China has clear regulations that do not set a scrapping period for private passenger vehicles. There is only a "guided scrapping" regulation after driving 600,000 kilometers (vehicles need to undergo two annual inspections per year from the 15th year onwards). Additionally, the mandatory scrapping period for light trucks and heavy trucks is 10 years, but it can be extended for up to 5 years at most, meaning the maximum mandatory scrapping period for China III trucks is 15 years.
