Which Vehicles Are Exempt from Inspection for 6 Years?
1 Answers
Vehicles exempt from inspection within six years include non-commercial cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles. Here are the specific details about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Exemption Policy: Non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from on-site inspection for 6 years. However, owners still need to pass an exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually 2 years) and apply for an inspection exemption mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police substation. The mark must be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial cars and other vehicles has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2012, can be exempted twice; those registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, can be exempted once; and those registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review.
