Which Vehicles Are Exempt from Inspection for Six Years?
1 Answers
Non-commercial vehicles with a rated seating capacity of 6 or fewer passengers are exempt from inspection for the first six years. The six-year exemption policy applies to non-commercial sedans (including large sedans), non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles. There are three scenarios where vehicles are not exempt: 1. Vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats are not exempt. 2. Vehicles involved in accidents are not exempt: New vehicles within the six-year exemption period that have been involved in accidents causing casualties do not qualify for the exemption. 3. Vehicles not registered for a long time after purchase are not exempt: Vehicles that have not completed registration procedures for more than four years from the date of manufacture are not exempt. Commercial vehicles such as taxis and driving school vehicles still require annual inspection as per the original regulations.
