Which Vehicle Models Are Eligible for 6-Year Exemption from Inspection?
2 Answers
Vehicles eligible for exemption from inspection include non-commercial passenger cars and other small or mini passenger vehicles within 6 years, excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats. Below is an introduction to the exemption: 1. Vehicle Inspection Exemption: This means the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection, but verification of compulsory traffic insurance payment and traffic violation handling must still be conducted regularly at the vehicle management department. 2. Exemption Policy: Privately-owned small cars registered on or after September 1, 2010, are eligible for this exemption policy. Below is extended information about vehicles not eligible for exemption: 1. Exemption Scope: Vehicles with 7 or more seats are not eligible for exemption; vehicles involved in accidents are not eligible for the 6-year exemption. 2. Exemption Policy: New vehicles within the scope that have been involved in accidents causing casualties are not eligible for exemption. 3. Exemption Policy: Vehicles that remain unregistered for a long time are also not eligible for exemption, meaning vehicles that have not completed registration procedures within 4 years from the manufacturing date are not eligible. Taxis, training vehicles, and other commercial vehicles still require annual inspection as per original requirements.
My car is just an ordinary sedan, which happens to be a non-commercial vehicle with fewer than 9 seats, so it enjoys the convenience of a 6-year exemption from on-site annual inspections. This policy applies to small vehicles such as SUVs and MPVs, mainly to save everyone the hassle of queuing for inspections. But don't forget, exemption doesn't mean you can completely ignore it; you still need to apply for an inspection sticker every two years via the 12123 app, which is quite simple. I've been driving this car for several years now, and it feels really hassle-free, plus it saves time. The key point is that the car must not have been involved in any major accidents, otherwise the exemption will be void. A reminder to new car owners: check the vehicle type clearly before purchasing to ensure it falls within the policy's scope. Regularly inspect the lights and brakes yourself—safety first. Overall, this policy encourages environmentally friendly new cars and saves resources, making driving more comfortable for everyone.
