A number of drivers have recently asked questions about the annual cost of the car inspection, which, after all, is related to the cost of the day-to-day use of the car. I. Cost implications of vehicle types
The difference in annual inspection costs between fuel and new energy vehicles is significant. Fuel trucks generally cost $300 to $530 in first-line cities (e. G. Beijing, shanghai) and $200 to $350 in second-line cities because they include tail gas tests. New energy vehicles are exempted from tail gas testing at a cost of approximately $200-400 for first-line cities (specialized battery safety tests) and $150-250 for second-line cities。
Ii. Frequency and cost of age testing
Age is a key factor influencing the cost of annual inspections. New vehicles have been covered by the offline testing policy for up to six years, and only $20-30 is required to apply for online inspection signs through the “transfer 12123” app. The 6-10-year-old vehicle is inspected online every two years, usually at a cost of $260-350 and the detection project adds an obd diagnosis (about $50). An annual check of older vehicles for more than 10 years, at a cost of $300-500, will focus on the erosion of the chassis, suspension systems, etc., which may result in additional repair and commissioning costs if the vehicle is in poor condition。
Cost components and attention
The basic test fee includes fixed items such as tail gas testing, safety technology testing and light debugging. In the event that the first on-line inspection of the vehicle fails, additional costs are incurred for the re-examination or commissioning. Prior to the annual inspection, the owner is advised to check the details of the specific charges through a regular local checkpoint or “transit 12123” app to avoid unnecessary expenditure。
In general, the annual cost of a car inspection is approximately 150-530 yuan, which needs to be determined in relation to the type of vehicle, its age and the area in which it is located. If you're choosing a car, the advantage of a new energy car in annual inspection costs is also a reference
