Are you a new car owner in Vietnam? Understanding car inspection procedures and deadlines can be confusing. This guide by XE TẢI HÀ NỘI provides a clear overview of the latest car inspection regulations, ensuring a smooth and worry-free driving experience.

Car Inspection Deadlines: 2023 Updates

Vietnam’s car inspection regulations, as outlined in Circular 16/2021/BGTVT, categorize passenger cars (under 9 seats) into three groups:

  • Group 1: Newly manufactured or assembled cars.
  • Group 2: Cars used for commercial transportation (taxis, ride-hailing services).
  • Group 3: Privately owned cars not used for commercial purposes.

Based on this classification, inspection deadlines are as follows:

Car Group First Inspection Second Inspection Subsequent Inspections
New Cars 24 months 18 months 12 months
Commercial Cars 12 months 12 months 12 months
Private Cars 24 months 18 months 12 months

Example:

A new Vios owner in Hanoi using the car for Grab services falls under the commercial vehicle category. Their car requires inspection every 12 months.

Important Notes on Car Inspection Deadlines

  • The inspection deadline is calculated from the date of the latest inspection sticker. For instance, an inspection on January 10th, 2023, requires the next inspection before January 10th, 2024.
  • Car owners are responsible for ensuring their vehicles are inspected before the deadline.
  • Driving with an expired inspection certificate can result in fines ranging from 1 to 3 million VND.
