As early as May 2014, the state announced the "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving the Inspection of Motor Vehicles", the biggest change in which is the new regulations on the annual inspection of automobiles: private cars are exempted from inspection for 6 years. But after so many years, there are still many car owners who are still a little confused! What exactly is a 6-year exemption? What to do after 6 years? Are all models exempt from inspection for 6 years? So here I will talk in detail about the 5 major misunderstandings that many car owners are easy to enter!
Before talking about misunderstandings, we must first popularize the latest motor vehicle exemption policy. On November 20, 2020, the Ministry of Public Security issued the latest "New Policy for Six-Year Exemption from Inspection of Motor Vehicles", the main contents of which are as follows:
I. Expand the scope of exemption from inspection
On the basis of the exemption from inspection for non-operating mini and mini passenger cars with less than 6 seats within 6 years, the scope of exemption from inspection will be further expanded, and 7-9 non-operating mini and micro passenger cars (except vans) within 6 years will be included in the scope of exemption.
1. The applicable models that expand the scope of exemption from motor vehicle inspection include non-operating small and micro passenger cars and non-operating large cars, but vans are not exempt models.
2. If the vehicle has a traffic accident that causes casualties or is punished by illegal modification according to law, the measure shall not be applied, and shall still be inspected according to the original prescribed cycle.
3. If the vehicle has not gone through the registration procedures for more than 4 years from the date of leaving the factory, it will still be inspected online according to the original regulations within 6 years.
Second, optimize the inspection cycle
For non-operating mini and small passenger cars (except vans) that have exceeded 6 years and less than 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years. For non-operating small and micro passenger cars for more than 10 years, it is still carried out in accordance with the original inspection cycle, that is, 10-15 years, once a year, and more than 15 years, every six months.
For those who have been inspected in accordance with the regulations in the 7th year of the car in use, they are exempted from inspection in the 8th year, and they need to participate in the inspection normally in the 9th year and 10th year; for the 9th year of the car in use, they do not enjoy the exemption policy, and the 10th year needs to participate in the inspection normally.
The adjustment of the new policy can be summarized simply as: expand the scope of exempted cars, and relax the annual inspection cycle of private cars. This means that more car owners can enjoy the benefits brought by the new policy of exemption from inspection, and it also means that many car owners do not need to go to the vehicle management office every year to queue up for inspection. The specific content I simply summarized as follows:
1. The Ministry of Public Security will include non-operating small and micro passenger cars with 7-9 seats in the scope of exemption from inspection, and after that, the exemption will no longer be a car with less than or equal to 6 seats, but a private car with less than or equal to 9 seats.
2. In the New Deal, the annual inspection of non-operating small and micro passenger cars for 6-10 years will be adjusted from the original annual inspection to a two-year inspection. In this way, non-operating small and micro passenger cars within 10 years have become inspected every two years, and the number of annual inspections is 2 times less than the original.
Of course, the following situations are not exempt from inspection:
1. Although the scope of exemption from inspection has been expanded to 9 seats, not all 9-seat cars can enjoy exemption from inspection, and vans are the exception, and the adjustment of vans is still not able to enjoy exemption from inspection.
2. Those who are punished for illegal modification according to law, have not gone through the registration procedures for more than 4 years from the date of leaving the factory, and have a major traffic accident cannot enjoy the exemption policy.
So many big accidents can not enjoy the exemption?
According to the relevant regulations, if a traffic accident occurs and causes casualties, it cannot continue to enjoy exemption from inspection. The specific situation depends on the results of the car's on-line inspection.
Knowing the latest exemption policy, let's talk about some of the misunderstandings of exemption. In view of the 6-year exemption policy for new cars, many riders mistakenly think that the first 6 years do not need to be "inspected", then they can do nothing. In fact, "6 years of exemption from inspection" refers to "the first 6 years do not need to be tested online", but still need to receive the "exemption mark" according to the specified time, the first 6 years do not need to receive a replacement of the exemption index, otherwise it is still in accordance with the treatment of off-test.
There are also two ways to receive the "exemption mark": one is to apply for the electronic version of the "exemption mark" through the "traffic management 12123" APP, which is more convenient and fast; the other is the traditional application method, that is, to apply for the local vehicle management office, you can apply for both paper and electronic versions.
Today's paper "exemption sign" does not need to be attached to the front windshield of the car, because the traffic management system has been networked nationwide, there has long been an exemption record, paper "exemption sign" and electronic "inspection exemption sign" have the same legal effect, the owner does not need to be careful.
However, car owners still need to pay attention to the following misunderstandings:
Myth 1: Not all models can be exempted from inspection within 6 years, and the following 6 conditions need to be met to receive the exemption index
1. The vehicle exempted from inspection must be a non-operating family car registered within 6 years, a small and micro passenger car, including 9 non-operating small passenger cars;
2. Illegal modification of vehicles punished according to law cannot enjoy the exemption policy;
3. Vehicles that have not gone through the registration procedures for more than 4 years from the date of leaving the factory cannot enjoy the exemption policy;
4. Those who have major traffic accidents cannot enjoy the exemption policy, such as: causing casualties, etc.;
5. The van is still not eligible for the 6-year exemption policy;
6. If the traffic violation or traffic accident of the vehicle is not handled, it cannot enjoy the exemption policy;
7. If the vehicle should be inspected before September 1, 2014 but has not been inspected, it shall still be inspected according to the original regulations.
Myth 2, is it okay if the vehicle exempted from inspection does not receive the standard?
During the "6-year exemption" period, vehicles still need to apply for the "exemption sign" within the specified time in accordance with traffic regulations. Generally speaking, small private cars need to receive the exemption mark every 2 years during the first 6 years of exemption.
Between the 6th and 10th years, it is still applied for every 2 years, but it should be noted here that the vehicle needs to go to the vehicle management office for on-line testing in the 6th, 8th and 10th years, and the on-line testing needs to be carried out every 1 year during the 10th-15th year, and the on-line testing needs to be carried out every six months after 15 years.
If you do not receive the exemption mark within the time limit, it is regarded as off-inspection, at this time you need to apply for supplementary inspection in time, and you may face a fine of 200 yuan and deduct 3 points for exceeding the specified time, and take photos once a month to record. And if a traffic accident occurs in an unannounced vehicle, the insurance company can deny compensation. If the circumstances are serious, the traffic management department may do the handling of the car seizure. Therefore, the majority of car owners must not forget to apply for the exemption mark, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and loss.
Myth three, the annual inspection still exists, remember the vehicle registration date!
According to the Opinions, if the registration date on the driving book is after September 1, 2010, then in the month of the biennial annual inspection, go to the vehicle management office for annual review and receive a new "annual inspection qualification standard".
In addition, the six-year exemption policy for non-operating cars and other vehicles has been implemented on a trial basis since September 1, 2014. Vehicles with a registration date after September 1, 2012 can be exempted from inspection twice; those whose registration date is between September 1, 2010 and August 31, 2012 can be exempted from inspection once; and vehicles with a registration date before August 31, 2010 are still handled in accordance with the original inspection regulations.
Myth 4: 6 years of exemption from inspection is equal to 6 years of no need to apply for the inspection pass mark
Vehicles that comply with the 6-year exemption policy are only exempt from the "on-line inspection" for 6 years ("on-line inspection" begins in the 6th year), but they still need to apply for the inspection pass mark every 2 years (they can be applied for in advance three months before the expiration of the inspection period).
Myth five, you can modify the vehicle at will without going online
The traffic management department will prompt the owner of the vehicle not to illegally modify the vehicle when issuing the inspection mark. At the same time, once the on-duty traffic police find that there is a problem of illegal modification of the vehicle, it will be investigated and punished according to law, and order the owner of the car to restore the original state.
Some of the questions about the 6-year exemption of vehicles are answered as follows:
Question 1: How should vehicles that do not meet the 6-year exemption be inspected annually?
1. Inspection of passenger cars for operation within 5 years from the time of registration, and inspection once every six months after 5 years;
2. Trucks, medium-sized or large non-operating passenger cars are inspected once a year within 10 years, and inspected once every six months after 10 years.
Question 2: What is the reason for the failure of the traffic management 12123 APP to apply for the electronic exemption mark?
1. The vehicle applying for the exemption mark has traffic violations or violation information that needs to be processed or is being processed, or the vehicle has a major traffic accident, such as: causing casualties. In these cases, it is impossible to apply for the electronic exemption mark through the APP display;
2. The vehicle has not paid the compulsory insurance and vehicle and vessel tax during the validity period, and now the system is all networked and interoperable, and this information will be automatically verified by the system.
Question 3: What type of car is defined as a van, and how to distinguish whether its own car belongs to the category of van?
A simple popularization of the definition of van, in the "Classification of Motor Vehicle Structure Terminology" for the van is defined as: flat head or short head body structure, single-layer floor, engine center (refers to the engine block as a whole is located between the front and rear axles of the car arrangement), height to width ratio (refers to the ratio of vehicle width to vehicle height) is less than or equal to 0.90, the number of passengers less than or equal to 9 people, installed seats of the passenger car.
In simple terms, the engine of the van is under the seat, while the engine of a normal private car is under the hood of the front of the car. Therefore, models like Wuling Hongguang S do not belong to the category of vans, but belong to MPV models, which can be purchased with confidence.
Question 4: How to apply for the exemption mark through the Traffic Management 12123 APP?
First, if there is no registration, download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP users, first go to the major application malls to download the application, and then real-name registration, and add their own vehicle information;
The second step, after logging in, find and click "Inspection-free Car Application Inspection Mark" on the home page, as shown below:
The third step, after entering the page of the inspection mark for the inspection-free car, you can see that you have registered the vehicle in traffic management 12123. Then click to select the vehicle that requires the inspection mark.
The fourth step, jump out of the prompt to deal with the vehicle violation window first, if the vehicle has an abnormal situation, it must be dealt with first. Then click "Continue".
At this time, the "Business Instructions" window will pop up, click "Read and Agree".
At this time, jump to the "Confirmation Information" page, confirm that the information is correct and then click "Next".
Step 5: Go to the "Upload Photo" page, tap the camera icon to take a photo and upload the "Compulsory Traffic Insurance Policy". However, if there is no vehicle and vessel tax collected in the compulsory insurance policy, it is also necessary to take a photo and upload the vehicle and vessel tax certificate. When you're done taking the photo, click "Next".
Step 6: Follow the prompts to verify with the SMS verification code and submit it. When you're done, a prompt that says "Application submitted successfully" pops up. You can click "Check Progress" to check the progress of the application.
At this point, the entire APP online application process is completed, and then you only need to wait for the test to pass.
Question 5: Summary of other issues regarding vehicle exemptions
1. If the vehicle that is exempted from inspection wants to apply for the exemption mark online, it must apply within 90 days before the specified time, and after the time, it cannot apply online and needs to go to the window of the local vehicle management office for processing.
2, through the "traffic management 12123" APP application exemption mark, if you need to paper version, then you need to fill in the mailing information, postage is paid, the price is generally 15 to 30 yuan. If you choose the electronic version, you do not need to appeal.
3. The vehicle management office needs to bring the compulsory insurance certificate, the vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate, the last annual inspection sign, the driving license, and the motor vehicle license application form for the on-line test.
4. The vehicle management office is online to detect the content. Vehicles of 6 years or more generally test the exhaust gas first, and then drive to the detection line to detect brakes, lights, side skids, speedometer differences and a series of so on. After all qualified, take the test sheet to the business hall, pay money to print the annual inspection logo, the total annual inspection cost is about 200. If a certain item is detected to fail, don't worry, there is a testing station that can help adjust, adjust and then re-inspect, the testing station will charge the re-inspection fee according to the charging standard of each item. If the second time is still this test is not qualified, then you have to go to the repair shop or 4S shop to make a repair adjustment for you, and then test after the repair is completed.
5. How to show the electronic exemption mark? You can display the electronic exemption mark through the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, the specific method is: open the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, find the "Filing Vehicle" label on the home page, enter the label, find the "Inspection Mark Electronic Voucher", and then click on it to see the electronic voucher.
Write at the end
Many car owners suggest canceling the annual inspection, mainly because many car owners drive themselves to participate in the annual inspection, and often encounter a lot of strange things.
First of all, when the car has to participate in the annual inspection every year, it is not only necessary to queue up for processing, wasting a lot of time, but also if it encounters a violent annual inspection, it will also make the owners feel painful. Some car owners cherish their cars and have never been so violent to their cars in so many years. Especially when the car is tested for exhaust gas, the car inspector often kicks the accelerator, slammes down, and instantly makes the engine speed reach 5000 rpm. Seeing these operations, the owners of those cars who love the car must be a little unbearable.
The key is that after the violent annual inspection, the annual inspection of the car may not be able to pass, so toss back and forth several times, many car owners are very reluctant to participate in the annual inspection again.
In the end, there is no way, can only choose the invisible, heart-wrenching approach, spend a little money to find the so-called "professional" - scalper, the key is to find scalpers can also pass the test at one time. In fact, the owners of the car are very clear in their hearts, what is the role of the scalper, their behavior may be suspected of violating the law, but there is no way, the owner in order to reduce the annual inspection of their own troubles, do not hesitate to condone the scalper instead of handling the annual inspection of the car.
If this phenomenon is not curbed, it can only get worse and worse, which is also the fundamental reason why the annual inspection of automobiles can become a hot topic in the country. Many car owners strongly call for the cancellation of the annual inspection policy for private cars, and in the long run, the annual inspection of automobiles will really change its taste. Compared with other developed countries, private cars have long been exempted from annual inspection, I don't know how long it will take us to achieve annual inspection of private cars?
I personally feel that if the annual inspection of private cars is not canceled, I hope that the purpose of the annual inspection of automobiles will return to the right track, fully reflect the actual significance of the annual inspection, and do not let the annual inspection change its flavor and become a means for some institutions or individuals to make huge profits.
