Pickup Truck Registration Period According to Circular 08/2023/TT-BGTVT
Based on Section 4 of Appendix XI issued with Circular 02/2023/TT-BGTVT, as amended by Appendix V issued with Circular 08/2023/TT-BGTVT on the inspection cycle of motor vehicles, the pickup truck registration period is regulated as follows:
- Pickup trucks manufactured up to 7 years:
- First time: 24 months.
- Subsequent times: 12 months.
- Pickup trucks manufactured over 7 years: 6 months.
How to Calculate the Manufacturing Year of a Pickup Truck
According to point e, Section 1 of Appendix V issued with Circular 08/2023/TT-BGTVT, the manufacturing year of a motor vehicle is calculated by year, similar to how the service life is calculated.
Example: Vehicle manufactured in 2021:
- Until the end of December 31, 2023, it is calculated as 2 years (2023 – 2021 = 2 years).
- From January 1, 2024, it is calculated as over 2 years (2024 – 2021 = 3 years).
Principles for Determining the Vehicle Registration Cycle
Circular 08/2023/TT-BGTVT also clearly stipulates the principles for determining the registration cycle for motor vehicles:
- Initial cycle: Applied to new vehicles, vehicles exempted from initial inspection (Clause 3, Article 5), and unused vehicles that undergo initial inspection with a manufacturing year up to 3 years prior to the year of submitting the application for the first Certificate of Inspection.
- Regular cycle: Applied to motor vehicles undergoing initial inspection not subject to the initial cycle; motor vehicles undergoing inspection in subsequent times.
- Modified vehicles: Vehicles that have undergone modifications, functional conversions, or changes to one of the following systems: steering, braking (except for the case of installing an additional auxiliary brake pedal).
- Vehicles with Inspection Certificates valid for 15 days: Not considered as an initial cycle.
- Vehicles with a regular cycle shorter than the most recent inspection cycle: The next inspection period is granted equal to the inspection period of the most recent inspection cycle, calculated from the date of inspection of the most recent inspection cycle.
