Are motor vehicles inspected every two years?

Yes, private cars with more than six years and less than ten years are inspected once every two years, that is, in the sixth and eighth years; Cars that are ten to fifteen years old are inspected once a year, and cars that are more than fifteen years old are inspected once every six months! For many old drivers, it is very important to maintain the car regularly, but it is also essential to give the car an annual inspection. Automobile annual inspection is the guarantee for vehicle health and driver safety.

The specific time of vehicle annual inspection can be found in the motor vehicle driving license or mobile APP; It should be noted that the annual inspection must be completed in advance, otherwise the vehicle will not be used normally. Within three months before the expiration of motor vehicle inspection (if your driver's license expires on August 3 1, you can have annual inspection in June, July and August), you can go to the inspection station for annual inspection. Note that the inspection station is not the vehicle management office, and the vehicle management office has no annual inspection business, so the annual inspection of vehicles can never be postponed.

The process of vehicle annual inspection is very simple, which is divided into three parts: appearance, on-line and tail gas. However, the location of the annual inspection is particular. At present, there are many inspection stations in the same city, and the charging standards of each inspection station are different. Therefore, it is best for car owners to communicate by phone in advance before the annual inspection, and then go after making a choice. Just bring your ID card and driving license when testing. If the annual inspection is not overdue, there is no need for the owner to be present.

Before the annual inspection, the owner sent the car to the garage to clean the body, engine compartment and chassis, and then pre-tested the whole body to see if all parts were normal, so as to pass the annual inspection conveniently. The lighting of the vehicle is very important, and it is not acceptable if it is too dark or too strong. Therefore, it is very important to check the headlights before the annual inspection, and the poor contact of the headlights or the failure of the license plate lights must be resolved in advance.

Then when the tail gas is detected, the owner can start the vehicle preheating in the external inspection area in advance, which can effectively improve the qualified rate. Exhaust gas detection is an oxygen sensor and a three-way catalytic converter, and the optimal working temperature of the engine is between 400 and 800 degrees. Cars without annual inspection are forced to go on the road, and if they are caught by the traffic police, they will be fined; Moreover, in the event of a traffic accident, the insurance company has reason to refuse to pay compensation. After all, your car broke down first.
