Is a used car worth buying for ten years, Zhihu?

Although the compulsory scrapping of private cars has been cancelled now, the life span of cars and people is the same. Don't regard the car as a family heirloom. In China, the annual car inspection system does not allow you to do so. You are exempt from inspection within six years and inspected once every six to fifteen years. After fifteen years, check it twice a year. There are even rumors that old models over 20 years old should be inspected four times a year. If the emissions are not up to standard, you can't expect your car to get on the road normally.

A car about ten years old, like many people, cares about the engine and gearbox moving, and the things on the car have been changed. In fact, these are all normal. For a family car of about ten years, the annual mileage is about 10000, which is about 150000. Such as generators, batteries, tires, timing belts, cylinder pads, lower arms, internal accessories of gearbox, etc. , has been replaced normally. If they haven't been moved, on the contrary, it's time for maintenance when you buy them.

As for 10, how many years can the used car last? Actually, an 8- 10 used car will be fine for three or four years if it is in good condition. However, due to the uneven quality of cars in the used car market, there are still some accident cars, bubble cars, burning cars and defective "quasi-new cars", which greatly reduces their service life.

On the other hand, although the mandatory scrapping of family cars in 15 has been cancelled, it can continue to be used as long as it passes the annual inspection. The annual inspection after 15 shall be verified once every six months. If the annual inspection fails or the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, it needs to be scrapped.
