The process of driving a car today has long ceased to be a simple “buy a car, get in, drive” algorithm. Now, in order to maintain the proper level of traffic safety and avoid problems with the traffic police, it is necessary not only to learn how to drive, but also to take care of getting some required documents. Among such documents is a diagnostic card, which is issued based on the results of a technical inspection.
What is a technical inspection
MOT is the process of checking technical condition vehicle. Traditionally, motorists believe that passing a technical inspection is necessary only to obtain a coveted document, but in fact, during a technical inspection, the car passes complex diagnostics. Here is what in 2016 is subject to mandatory verification during maintenance:
♦ brake system;
♦ steering;
♦ engine (exhaust toxicity assessment);
♦ external devices lighting;
♦ mirrors and glass;
♦ seat belts;
♦ wheels and tires;
♦ windshield wipers;
♦ license plates;
♦ first aid kit and fire extinguisher.
Who needs to pass inspection
In 2016, the rules of the previous year apply in Russia: all vehicles must be presented for inspection. The exception is passenger cars, trucks with a permit maximum weight up to 3.5 tons, trailers and motorcycles, in the first three years of operation.
It is also necessary to pass a technical inspection for a car registered in a foreign country. If such a vehicle enters the territory of the Russian Federation without an international certificate of technical inspection or a Green Card policy, then its owner is obliged to pass an inspection on a general basis.
Based on the results of checking the technical condition of the car, the driver is issued a diagnostic card. This is an A4 document, on which information about the quality of work of the tested parts of the machine is printed on both sides. In the event that the technical condition of the car is satisfactory, you can safely go for the OSAGO policy. If unacceptable violations were identified in the work, then first you need to eliminate them, and then pass the inspection again. The diagnostic card must be certified by the signature and seal of the inspection operator. Carry with you diagnostic card, unlike an insurance policy, is optional.
Passing technical inspection
In itself, the absence of confirmation of the passed technical inspection formally threatens nothing. But from July 30, 2012, a valid diagnostic card is required to issue an OSAGO policy. Thus, a technical inspection that has not been completed on time can lead to the absence of an OSAGO policy, but various fines are already relied on for this:
♦ for driving without an OSAGO policy, if any, for example, if the driver forgot it at home, the fine will be 500 rubles;
♦ for driving without an OSAGO policy in general or with an expired policy - 800 rubles;
♦ for departure during the period not covered by the policy - 500 rubles;
♦ for driving a car by a driver not specified in the policy - 500 rubles.
At the same time, fines for the above reasons can only be done once a day.
But drivers of vehicles intended for the carriage of passengers will be fined in the amount of 500 to 800 rubles precisely for the lack of confirmation of passing the technical inspection. A diagnostic card for presentation to the traffic police inspector will be required for drivers of taxis, buses and trucks for transporting people.
What is the frequency of inspection
The need to pass the next technical inspection and obtain a new diagnostic card depends on the type of vehicle and on the period of operation. The most complex mathematics for cars, as well as motorcycles, trailers and semi-trailers:
♦ new vehicles do not require technical inspection during the first three years of operation;
♦ the car passes the first technical inspection after reaching three years;
♦ followed by an inspection at five years of operation;
♦ the last two-year break will end with a technical inspection at the age of seven;
♦ Vehicles seven years old and over undergo a technical inspection every year.
It is much easier to remember about technical inspection for drivers of vehicles of category C, training vehicles and vehicles equipped with special signals. Such vehicles are required to undergo a technical inspection once a year. Even shorter, only half a year, the validity period of the diagnostic card for passenger taxis and other vehicles for transporting people, as well as vehicles for transporting dangerous goods.
How to prepare for an inspection
Picking up a set of documents for inspection is as simple as possible. To pass the technical inspection, you will need a vehicle registration certificate or title if the car is not already registered. You may also need a document proving the identity of the driver - a passport or driver's license. If the owner of the car is absent at the time of the MOT, you should stock up on a power of attorney on his behalf.
A little more attention will require the equipment of the car. Be sure to check not only the availability of a fire extinguisher and first aid kit, but also their compliance with the specified expiration date. The absence of these items can become an obstacle to obtaining a diagnostic card. Another common obstacle is cracks and chips on windshield. True, only cracks located opposite the driver, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe wipers, can interfere.
How much does an inspection cost and where to get it
The maximum level of cost of technical inspection varies depending on the region in which the inspection is carried out. In 2016 average price passing the technical inspection of a car ranges from 400 to 900 rubles. It is possible to pass the technical inspection procedure at any of several thousand Russian inspection points, regardless of the region in which the car is registered. The official list of technical inspection stations can be found on the website of the Russian Union of Motor Insurers.
If you are going to pass a technical inspection in 2018, this article will help you pass all the stages of a technical inspection of a vehicle without any complications. Here we will talk in detail about the order of maintenance, we will dwell on cases where this procedure is not required. Separately, we will analyze the questions: what is the validity period of the diagnostic card, whether a technical inspection is needed, if there is insurance, what to do if a car purchase / sale transaction is made.
General information
Inspection - checking the technical condition of the vehicle for compliance, a mandatory procedure, is performed in order to allow the car to fully participate in traffic on the roads. Transport requirements are regulated by Appendix No. 1 to the Maintenance Rules.
Diagnostic card
Today, the concept of "technical inspection coupon" is absent, instead of a coupon, car owners are issued a special diagnostic card (A4 format), which can be obtained at an accredited center after passing the vehicle's MOT.
Diagnostic card- the document, in the form of a table, is issued in 2 copies. Here, information about the technical condition of the car is recorded, on the basis of which a conclusion is recorded: whether or not the operation of the car is possible. The map is duplicated in in electronic format where it is assigned a unique number.
One copy of the diagnostic card without fail is issued to the owner of the technical equipment, the second is kept by the expert for 3 years. The electronic format of the diagnostic card is sent to a single information automated system, where it is stored for five or more years. In case of damage or loss of the document, you should contact this service to the technical operator, and on the same day a duplicate must be issued. In order for you to be issued a diagnostic card or a duplicate, you will not have to pay the state duty, since 2014 it has been canceled.
Pass inspection of the technical condition of the vehicle only in accredited points
Inspection cost in 2018
Passing the technical inspection in 2018 will cost about 720 rubles, but a more accurate cost depends on the region and type of machine.
The most expensive maintenance of trucks with the maximum permissible load capacity over 12 tons, will have to lay out 1600 rubles, for the MOT of the bus - approx. 1300 rubles, motorcycle - approx. 240 rubles.
The average cost of passing a technical inspection
When should I undergo a technical inspection - the validity period of the diagnostic card
How long you will receive a diagnostic card depends on the year the vehicle was manufactured.
If you have:
- a car;
- truck up to 3.5 tons;
- motor transport;
- semi-trailer, trailer,
which is less than 3 years old (including the year of manufacture), then the passage of the vehicle is not required, this is regulated by Law 170-FZ, in part two, article 15 of July 1, 2011. Inspection and obtaining a diagnostic card for these types of funds is mandatory if they are older than 3 years.
Depending on the purpose of use and class technical means diagnostic card is valid:
- 2 years if the car is 3-7 years old from the year of manufacture inclusive;
- 1 year - if the car was manufactured more than 7 years ago.
Information about the year of manufacture is reflected in the vehicle registration certificate and in the TCP.
Every year a technical inspection is required to pass:
- vehicles with a maximum authorized mass of more than 3.5 tons;
- Vehicles with special signals;
- vehicles used for driving instruction.
Regardless of the year of manufacture, once every six months, a technical inspection must be carried out:
- buses;
- light taxis;
- trucks equipped in a special way for the carriage of passengers, in which there are more than eight seats (the driver's seat is not considered);
- special equipment, including trailers for them, equipped and used for the transportation of dangerous goods, the owners of such vehicles, when receiving an OSAGO policy, may not present a diagnostic card.
Technical inspection and sale of a car
If the technical inspection is successfully passed and the diagnostic card is received in hand, but it is decided to sell the car, the question arises: is the technical inspection 2018 mandatory when making a purchase / sale transaction. According to the legislation (No. 170-FZ, dated July 1, 2011, article 1, clause 9), a purchase / sale transaction cannot be a basis for canceling an old technical inspection and conducting an unscheduled one. In other words, if the purchased vehicle already has a diagnostic card, then its validity continues regardless of the change of ownership of the car. If there is no card, then the new owner will have to undergo a technical inspection.
How to get OSAGO - do I need a technical inspection for insurance
Until August 1, 2018, the presentation of the old coupon was allowed. Now you can buy OSAGO:
- if this is the last day when the diagnostic card is valid;
- if there is no MOT, but the car is new;
- a transit insurance policy must be issued without technical inspection for 20 days if the vehicle is driven to the place of registration, as well as to the place where the vehicle will undergo MOT.
In all other cases, to the question: is a technical inspection required for OSAGO insurance in 2018, the answer is as follows:
- within 10 days, the car owner is obliged to undergo a technical inspection of the vehicle, get a diagnostic card in hand, buy OSAGO, and only after that it will be possible to register the vehicle.
According to Federal Law 276, paragraph 4, art. 6, which entered into force on June 1, 2014, you can purchase OSAGO without presenting a diagnostic card, since all data is in electronic format in a single register.
Rules for passing technical inspection in 2018
Choose any you like, but always accredited organization. Information about inspection points can be found on the official website of the Union of Motor Insurers of the Russian Federation, in a special register.
Passing inspection in 2018 is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- instrumental diagnostics;
- the first aid kit, license plate, fire extinguisher are checked;
- the brake system and lighting equipment are diagnosed;
- the backlash of the steering wheel, suspension are evaluated;
- the toxicity of exhaust gases is measured;
- door locks are checked;
- the standard indicators of technical fluids are measured.
In special vehicles, they additionally check the performance of devices for calling operational, emergency services.
Documentation
To pass the inspection of the vehicle, you must present:
- passport;
- Title, vehicle registration certificate;
- driver's license;
- power of attorney, if the car owner passes the vehicle inspection representative of the owner of the vehicle.
Technical inspection the expert conducts, he writes the conclusion in the diagnostic card. If the car complies with traffic safety standards on the road and has gained access, then a ticket is issued, if the expert found violations, then within 20 days, after all the shortcomings have been eliminated, you will have to undergo an inspection of the technical condition again, the procedure is paid. If the vehicle will be checked by the same operator, then he will inspect only those parameters for which comments were written out, at another inspection point he will have to undergo a complete MOT.
Now you have detailed instructions how to pass a vehicle inspection in 2018. For citizens of the Russian Federation, in the presence of a valid OSAGO, the inspector is not entitled to demand a diagnostic card for the vehicle.
Passing inspection is the key to the good technical condition of your car.
In 2019, the procedure for passing the technical inspection was slightly changed. Its implementation is regulated by Federal Law. Control of execution lies with the traffic police.
Absolutely all car owners must go through this procedure, except for those owners of cars, as well as trailers, semi-trailers and motorcycles that are under 3 years old. This category of motorists is not required to pass the test. My car fell out recently 5 years. I decided to go to all instances to get permission for the further operation of the machine.
I want to say that another innovation in the rules for passing the technical inspection in 2019 is the cancellation of coupons for this check. Instead, they entered a diagnostic card, which you should be given Insurance Company. Without it, you can still purchase an OSAGO contract, since all data on the passage is entered into a single information base.
The most pleasant novelty is that now it has become possible to undergo the procedure in any city in the country. It does not matter where you are registered or registered. This is very convenient, given the wide expanses of Russia. And most importantly: from now on, the traffic police no longer produces this process. The entire load is taken on by private companies, but this is also far from all.
Checking the serviceability of vehicles and issuing a permit to participate in the movement on the roads common use Only accredited companies can. There are positive aspects to this, because now there are practically no queues. Private operators practice pre-recording, and only fault diagnostics are performed at the station, so you will not be offered to repair the “malfunction” immediately on the spot.
I signed up online and waited for my turn. Arriving at the station where they were supposed to inspect my car, I was surprised at how quickly the guys paid no attention to me. Usually had to wait for hours. And here is the chick and that's it. The car was ready for inspection, so it didn't take much time. Plus, I was pleased that everything was in order. Still, after all, I’ve been riding for only 5 years and I try not to squeeze all the juice out of my diaper.
What do you need to take with you?
Let's dwell a little on the procedure for passing the technical inspection in 2019. The procedure itself is not complicated. To begin with, you need to choose one of the mass of companies providing this service and come to them with the following package of documents:
- passport and certificate obtained when registering the vehicle;
- any document confirming your identity (passport or other document);
- driver's license;
- If the car does not belong to you, then you will still need a general power of attorney.
A medical certificate for maintenance has not been required since 2010. In fact, the package of documents is more than modest, and you don’t have to draw up extra paperwork.
Today it is very important to comply with the requirements for passing inspection. First of all, the car must have a sign emergency stop, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Failure to do so may result in your service being denied. You will have to go again, and you will also have to pay the state duty again. The car should be clean, but it should not be polished to a shine, it will be enough just to wash off the dirt, because the main thing is that the car numbers are readable and the specialist can identify the color of the car. 
The cost of passing the technical inspection in 2019 will be set directly by the company carrying out this type of activity. The only thing is the prescribed upper limit of 881 Russian rubles for cars, and for trucks it is almost 2 times more expensive. For this amount, your car will be checked for 65 different indicators that affect safety. traffic. The following will be checked for correctness:
- Brake system.
- Pillows and seat belts.
- Steering wheel.
- Engine.
- Front and rear lights.
- Wheels and tires.
- Windscreen wipers.
How often to pass?
In the latest edition of the Law, the terms of technical inspection have also been changed. New cars in the first 3 years can not be checked. Cars from 3 to 7 years old will have to be checked every 2 years, and “ iron horses» older than 7 years annually. Innovations did not affect trucks, buses and taxis. But for trailers up to 3.5 tons, everything was canceled, but only for those owned by individuals. 
All of you are familiar with the coupon that was issued based on the results of the check. Now it has been abolished, and, therefore, there will be no state duty for passing technical inspection in 2019 2020. Upon successful completion of this procedure, you will be issued new document about passing the technical inspection - a diagnostic card, which will reflect the results of all checks.
It is this document that is the basis for the issuance of an OSAGO policy by an insurance company. It turns out absolutely reverse order procedures. Now OSAGO is issued only after the completion of all this running around, and is not purchased in advance. If you have lost the diagnostic card, you can make a new one. To do this, contact any nearest operator. The cost of the service will be 10% of the amount of maintenance.
The new inspection procedure is not so complicated, but rather it has become easier both to understand and to fulfill all the requirements. If you have any questions feel free to contact me through the comments. I often go - I will answer, with pleasure. I wish you success!
Any vehicle on the road is a means heightened danger. That is why its condition is controlled not only by the owner of the vehicle, but also by the relevant authorities. The frequency of inspection is regulated legislative acts, in particular - the Law "On the technical inspection of vehicles."
Schedule for inspections
For each type of transport, the State Inspectorate imposes its own requirements regarding the intervals between maintenance. It is important to remember how often you need to undergo a technical inspection, since the operation of a vehicle with a technical inspection not passed on time is an administrative violation with certain consequences - a fine or deprivation of a driver's license.
Cars
Transport category "B" TO must pass strictly within the established time frame. The frequency depends on the age of the vehicle itself - the higher it is, the more often this procedure should be carried out.
- Vehicles less than 3 years old exempt from technical inspection.
- Cars aged 3 to 7 years pass this procedure every two years.
- Cars over 7 years old must be serviced annually.
And here we are not talking about how long the car has been in operation with a particular owner, or how long it has been in operation in general, but about when the car was released. This day is the starting point. That is, if the vehicle has stood in the cabin for two years after release, it will be necessary to pass the first technical inspection already one year after its purchase.
two wheelers
Motorcycles, scooters, as well as other vehicles that are subject to mandatory registration and, therefore, regular maintenance, have similar periods:
- Vehicles under 3 years old does not need in technical inspection.
- Vehicles aged 3-7 years must undergo MOT every two years.
- Vehicles over 7 years old are subject to mandatory annual technical inspection.
Trucks
For freight transport schedules will differ, depending on their tonnage and purpose. The following intervals are prescribed for the owners of these vehicles:
- A truck with a tonnage of up to 3.5 tons is identical to passenger vehicles.
- A truck with a tonnage of more than 3.5 tons - once a year.
- Truck used for the transport of dangerous goods - once every 6 months.
The maintenance schedule for trailers and semi-trailers looks exactly the same - the frequency depends on maximum weight and nature of operation.
Other transport
Buses, taxis and other types of transport intended for the transport of people must undergo technical inspection every six months.
Agricultural and construction specialized equipment must undergo technical inspection annually. If the vehicle is used seasonally, the technical inspection must be completed no later than 15 days from the beginning of the next period of operation.
Vehicles equipped with special signals - beacons and sound equipment undergo this procedure once a year.
How not to forget about the timing of maintenance?
Diagnostic card, which is issued after successful completion technical inspection, reflects the current state of the vehicle. It does not need to be constantly carried with you - it is not included in the package of documents that must be presented at the first request of a traffic police officer. And yet, it is important for insurance coverage.
It is important to remember that the diagnostic card is valid only until the time for a new inspection comes. The end date of the validity of the diagnostic card is indicated in the document itself. It does not matter if the owner of the vehicle has changed since the last MOT.
The location of the procedure does not affect how often the vehicle is inspected: the standards are the same for state points technical inspection, and for commercial.
Frequency of inspections for vehicles different classes and types are strictly defined. Time limits are a must. If desired, MOT can be passed ahead of schedule but not later.

There will be no technical inspection in 2016, you will need to pass it in order to purchase a diagnostic card for the car. It is mandatory for all drivers. Russian Federation. You will not be able to buy an OSAGO policy if you do not present a diagnostic card.
Many insurance companies have their own technical inspection point, where you can get a card for a certain amount, and other companies are not interested in where your diagnostic card comes from.
Why do you need a vehicle inspection?
Passing inspection on a new car?
For 3 years, from the date of issue of the car, according to the Federal Law No. 170-FZ, it is not necessary to pass a technical inspection for a new car. This regulation applies to:
- Light vehicles
- motor vehicles
- Trailers (semi-trailers)
- Trucks weighing up to 3.5 tons
Make changes to this list only the legislation of the Russian Federation can. The diagnostic card is issued after the technical inspection is passed. In this case, the owner can only present documents for the car, where the date of its release is indicated.
Periodicity of technical inspection
How often do you need to pass inspection? Depending on when the car was released, it depends on when the next or first technical inspection will be. It is not necessary for new vehicles to undergo technical inspection for 3 years, when three years expire, you need to purchase a diagnostic card for the car.
If the car is less than 7 years old, the card will be valid for two years. If the age is more than 7 years, then the diagnostic card will be valid for one year. If the inspection period expires and you need to pass it again, then the inspection coupon is changed to a diagnostic card.
Cars that are between 3 and 7 years old from the date of manufacture are required to undergo a technical inspection once every 24 months. Cars with a mass of more than 3.5 tons undergo a technical inspection annually, regardless of age. Vehicles for driving training and special. machines with special lighting and sound signals may undergo inspection more often than others at the request of the owner.
Passage of technical inspection and OSAGO
Until 2012, there was a rule that they receive the first, and then the inspection ticket. According to the new rules, they are the first to pass inspection and only then.
The federal law “On OSAGO” gives a list of documents that must be presented to an insurance agent for issuing a policy, this list contains a diagnostic card and it is written in brackets that cases are excluded when the legislation does not provide for a technical inspection. This means that an insurance agent cannot require a diagnostic card from you if the vehicle is not provided for passing a technical inspection within a certain period.
The car owner must present documents according to the list:
- Passport
- Driver's license
- Vehicle registration certificate
- General power of attorney (in the absence of the owner)
The diagnostic card will not be issued if there are malfunctions. It will be possible to receive a card only when the detected shortcomings are eliminated. This is explained by the fact that if an accident occurs due to malfunctions that were missed during the inspection, then the maintenance operator will pay for the full amount of material damage.
How much does an inspection cost
In 2016, the approximate cost of technical inspection will be 800 rubles. The cost may vary from the selected operator, the larger it is, the lower the cost. The cost also depends on the type of car. On freight car average cost TO does not exceed 1000 rubles. The technical inspection is paid in the same organization that was carried out.
Buying a diagnostic card without passing a technical inspection will be a little more expensive than the technical inspection itself, this is due to the fact that when passing a technical inspection there is no guarantee that you will pass it, but having paid, you will acquire it without problems. The price of a diagnostic card for a passenger car fluctuates from 1000 to 1500 rubles, and for a truck from 1400 to 2000.
Let's summarize:
- The “novelty” countdown of a car is calculated from the date of its release, and not from the start of operation.
- The requirement of the insurance company to present a diagnostic card if the technical inspection of your car is not required is illegal.
- Within three years from the date of issue of the vehicle, it is not necessary to undergo an inspection, but you can pass it for your peace of mind.
