When it comes to the annual inspection of automobiles, I think many people find it troublesome, not only does it take half a day, but also the procedures are quite complicated, and even some monitoring stations are not open on Saturdays and Sundays, so they have to ask for leave to go again.
First of all, let's give you a popular science, when does the car need to be inspected annually?
The vehicle does not need to be inspected for the first six years, but it is necessary to receive a sign sticker that passes the annual inspection every two years. 6-10 years old vehicles used to be online annual inspection every two years, that is, the sixth, eighth, and tenth years of online annual inspection three times, according to the policy promulgated in 2022, now the car only needs to be online in the sixth and tenth years of annual inspection, but in the eighth year, you need to receive your own electronic annual inspection logo.
After 10 years of service life, it needs to be tested once a year. (Original policy: 10-15 years old car inspection once a year, 15 years after every six months).
The annual inspection of the car can check out the potential safety hazards of the car in a timely manner, defend the traffic safety of the road and the bottom line of the environmental protection of the vehicle, if the annual inspection is canceled, the rights and interests of consumers may be damaged.
However, during the annual inspection, there is often a news of "violent car inspection", and ordinary cars may not pay much attention to it, but some luxury cars, because of the vehicle inspection caused by vehicle failure, it is indeed sad.
There was a shocking thing in Nanchang, Jiangxi: when Mr. Xiong inspected his BMW X6 for the year, the engine was scrapped!
Mr. Xiong drove his beloved BMW X6 to a vehicle inspection station in Nanchang for annual inspection, however, when he picked up the car in the afternoon, he was told that the car was broken, the engine was completely scrapped, and it needed to be replaced. Mr. Xiong was shocked and suspected that the inspector had stepped on the accelerator for a long time during the car inspection, which caused the engine to overheat and be damaged.
According to Mr. Xiong's description, during the car inspection, the inspector actually stepped on the accelerator more than a dozen times, and the speed soared to 5-6 thousand rpm, which was simply cruel torture to the vehicle. Mr. Xiong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and quickly consulted a number of 4S stores. However, the replies were all heartbreaking: the engine had been scrapped and needed to be replaced entirely. What's even more unacceptable is that the cost of replacing a BMW X6 original engine assembly is as high as 160,000 yuan!This is tantamount to slamming a hammer on Mr. Xiong's heart.
In the face of the technical problems of this car, professional technicians admitted that this problem could not be solved by repairs at all. Even if maintenance is carried out reluctantly, there are hidden dangers such as burning engine oil and overheating at high speeds.
When Mr. Xiong heard this result, his face showed disbelief. He insisted that everything was working fine when the vehicle was brought into the station, and that he had gone out in a car and returned safely without noticing anything unusual.
In the face of Mr. Xiong's doubts, the general manager of the testing station was resolute. He said that if the testing station is to be responsible for the matter, there must be a clear report from an authoritative testing agency.
However, in further analysis, professionals pointed out that the cause of such failures is difficult to find out thoroughly. Whether it's long-term wear and tear or momentary damage, the consequences are the same. This also means that we can't tell the exact cause of a failure based on the results alone.
Mr. Xiong can be said to be bitter, and the car is not a person, so he can prove that the engine failure was caused by the car inspection. Therefore, we try to install a dash cam and ask for on-site monitoring. At the same time, the car should be maintained in a timely manner and kept on file, which can be used as evidence for rights protection.
Have you ever encountered a car inspection that caused a vehicle to break down?How to solve it later, I hope you can share and communicate and provide some experience to the majority of riders.
