Which Date to Check for Used Car Inspection?
2 Answers
Used car inspection is calculated from the registration date of the new car. Here are the ways to check the date: 1. Vehicle License: The registration date at the bottom of the original license indicates the month for the annual inspection, with the deadline being the last day of that month. The duplicate license also has a printed inspection validity period, allowing for an early inspection three months in advance (including the inspection month). 2. Inspection Sticker: The white side of the inspection sticker prints the inspection validity date, which is the deadline month for the inspection. Early inspection is also allowed three months in advance. 3. Compulsory Insurance Policy: The compulsory insurance policy lists the vehicle's registration date, similar to the first point, where the registration month is the month for the annual inspection.
I remember when I bought my first used car, I didn't know where to check the annual inspection date. After asking around, I learned that you need to look at the initial registration date on the vehicle registration certificate. That little booklet is crucial because the annual inspection cycle is calculated from the registration year, either annually or biannually. If you forget to check after buying a used car, it's easy to miss the inspection deadline, which can result in fines of several hundred yuan and even affect insurance claims. Now, every time I buy a car, I first check the date on the registration certificate. Developing this habit has given me much more peace of mind. When in doubt, I can also take a photo and save it on my phone as a reminder, which really makes things much easier.
