How long does today's family car really live? In fact, the domestic family car, how long it can be used, is not at all to see the life of the family car itself, but to see the emissions, annual inspection and restriction of the three policies, how long you can drive, and how much patience you have to toss your car, to meet the endless standards, most car owners will choose to give up resistance after the age of 10 years, choose to give up resistance, for a new car.
As long as it is properly maintained, there is theoretically no upper limit
Nowadays, the life of the family car, there is no need to worry, in fact, with today's car level, as long as it is properly maintained, its life is theoretically no upper limit, the key depends on whether you are willing to spend time and money to maintain and prepare this car.
The world's longest-mileage car has been driven 5.13 million kilometers and is constantly increasing, this is a P1800S coupe purchased from the Volvo Car brand in 1966, with a 1.8-liter self-priming engine and a manual transmission, and by the end of 2015, Gordon's Volvo P1800S cumulative total mileage has increased to 3.19 million miles (about 5.13 million kilometers). Half a century ago, cars could be used for more than 50 years, let alone today's car-making level? Of course, the increase in electronic components will also increase the failure rate, but most of these problems are small problems, as long as the three major parts can run normally, and the combination of self-priming engine with manual transmission or AT transmission, the service life will be longer.
As long as you are properly maintained, the current family car has been used for more than 20 years, and it is absolutely no problem to drive 1 million kilometers.
The key issues are annual inspections, emissions and traffic restrictions
The question is, if the car is not broken, doesn't not giving you a road equal to a piece of scrap iron? Especially for car owners in first- and second-tier cities, a car from birth to scrap is always around three mountains.
1. Annual inspection. Previously, private cars were mandatory to scrap for 15 years, but this system has been abolished. However, after 15 years of use, it is tested online every six months, and the motor vehicles that pass the test are allowed to drive on the road. How to ensure that the old car that has been driving for 15 years is guaranteed to pass every exhaust gas test, how to ensure that it can pass the annual inspection every time, on this pass, many old cars have been eliminated. There are also many car owners who do not want to be so troublesome and choose to give up.
2. Emission off. At present, China's emission standards are National Six B, and the speed of change of emission standards is getting faster and faster, basically updating the emission standards once every four years, around 2025, the standards of National Seven will be implemented, and the models of China III have been banned or guided to scrap in many cities, and in a few years, old cars with an age of more than 10 years will not escape this fate.
3. Restricted traffic. In many areas, do not directly scrap vehicles that do not meet the emission standards, but implement a ban, the vehicle of the third country can not enter the city, once the exhaust gas is detected, it will be fined, for the owner of the car, every year to bear the cost of car maintenance, and this car can not be used to commute to work, so you have to choose to give up, for a new car
The above three big passes, is some of the older vehicles, difficult to survive the difficulties, why the country rarely see the classic car, the reason is this, so the vast majority of the old car, is not because of the broken and scrapped, but because the owner of the car to deal with the endless failure, while to cope with the annual inspection emission limit and other policies, in the confrontation gradually lose patience, sometimes I envy so many foreign countries, older than my grandfather's classic car, still able to legally on the road, but think about it, do not do so, How to promote economic development? How to promote the prosperity of the car market? May there be peace in the world!
