chicomarx ◊ 2015-03-25 02:45	I don't know if the source is reliable, but this says older cars are not illegal but actively discouraged: Quote http://www.thebeijinger.com/forum/2011/01/04/maximum-age-car there is NO age limit on vehicles. however; for the first 10 years of a vehicle's life it needs to have a vehicle inspection done once a year. ~ when a vehicle is 10-15 years old the inspection needs to be done once every six months ~ after 15 years a vehicle needs to be inspected every 3 months ..or 4 times a year. so that's the official policy..if you can handle driving your car to get inspected and paying about 300rmb every 3 months then no problem.... again, there's NO limit on age, just the frequency of inspection goes up and up to ridiculous proportions. Quote Not quite correct - the first inspection for new cars is done when the car is 2 years old. 300rmb = 44 eur/48usd.
cko ◊ 2015-03-25 03:31	Thanks for setting the record straight. My source, a Chinese citizen, claimed that the government considered passenger cars to be too big a reliability risk after 8 years and commercial vehicles after 10, so they were ineligible for registration renewals after that. This is to prevent older cars from breaking down in the road and holding up traffic, as well as environmental concerns. Apparently he was misinformed. Does that also apply to motorcycles/scooters?

chicomarx ◊ 2015-03-25 12:54	That would mean an MOT test twice a day in China.

As I know, for franchised bus of China (excluding Hong Kong), the buses will be given up after 10-years-old. For other types of vehicles, there's no strict provision: when I stayed China, I saw some vehicles with over 10-years-old running on the street, including private cars. However, very few vehicles of over 20-years-old are used in China.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-08-13 17:01	Who buys them?
Gamer ◊ 2016-08-13 17:02	You don't, for a fact...
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-08-13 19:27	Steering wheel on wrong side for one thing.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-08-13 23:54	If most Chinese people buy new cars, there must be a minority who buy old cars. If most people who buy new cars change them when the warranty expires, the number of such cars waiting to be sold must be greater than the number of potential customers, since only a minority buy old cars, so where does the surplus go? The junkyard? Indonesia? Islands in the South China Sea as landfill? -- Last edit: 2016-08-13 23:58:13
