The essence of the technical inspection is to check the suitability of the vehicle for operation in accordance with the norms of the Russian Federation. Carried out by maintenance operators accredited by the Russian Union of Motor Insurers. As a result, a diagnostic card is issued, which is necessary for registration. Every day we are engaged in technical inspection of all categories of vehicles. And we know exactly how the technical inspection is carried out. Let's talk about the details of the process.
Car owners can contact any operator in the country, wherever they are.
In 2012, the procedure underwent a radical change. Maintenance coupons were abolished, and the function itself was transferred from the traffic police to a network of specialized stations. Car owners are not tied to the place of registration of the car. And they can turn to any operator in the country, wherever they are. Since they undergo technical inspection in all regions according to a single algorithm, there will be no surprises.
How is the technical inspection in Russia. Action algorithm
Knowing how the inspection is carried out and what should be prepared, you will avoid wasting time and money. If the conclusion is negative, you will need to re-prepare the car and visit the station.
Select an inspection point. Some TO operators also offer OSAGO registration, which is very convenient. Both services are available from our organization.
Vehicle preparation for inspection
A preliminary visit to a car service will not be superfluous. Explain to the inspector that you need to prepare the car for the technical inspection. This is a common service. You will be made complex diagnostics. Look at the condition of the engine, chassis, brake system, steering, electrical equipment. If a car with high mileage, be prepared that the list of recommended works will be long. Sometimes it's a simple "divorce" for money. But more often it is worth agreeing with the experts and doing everything.
Make sure you have a first aid kit, a warning triangle, a fire extinguisher. Carry out a complete wash of the body and engine.

Sign up for a convenient time for you. The procedure will take about an hour. There is an established algorithm according to which they pass technical inspection in Russia:
- First, experts will assess the completeness of your car and produce visual inspection. Prepare a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, warning triangle. Experts will check the absence of cracks windshield in the area of the wipers, the serviceability of seat adjustment, seat belts, horn, towbar (if any), the presence of rear-view mirrors. For cars whose fender liner design provides for the installation of mudguards - their presence.
- Then the car will be driven into the "pit" or lifted on a plunger lift. Check the brake system of the car, its tightness, the absence of corrosion and mechanical damage. The stand will analyze the distribution of braking force between the wheels.
- The next item is steering. free running must not exceed the values allowed by the manufacturer. Evaluate the smoothness of rotation of the steering wheel, fastening of all elements of the system. Mechanical damage are not allowed.
- Next is the diagnosis of lighting devices. In addition to having and correct operation of all bulbs, they will measure the headlight beam. If they were regulated "on the wall", there is no chance. A deviation of several degrees will be indicated in the conclusion. And they will send you to fix it.
- Now - check the operation of the wipers and windshield washers. Everything is simple here
- Then comes the evaluation rims and tires for the absence of deformation, the height of the tread, the reliability of the bolts and the compliance with the dimensions of the allowable values.
- Checking the engine is an item that many motorists are afraid of. Emissions are measured and conformity is assessed environmental standards. The fact is that even new cars with Euro-5 do not pass this test in two or three years. Due to the fact that the factory exhaust gas catalyst no longer copes with its task. And its replacement with modern cars rarely costs less than 50 thousand rubles and is usually not included in the guarantee.
Here they check the tightness of the fuel, cooling and other systems, the noise level during engine operation.
Even new cars with Euro-5 in two or three years
can't pass the "environmental" test
See the complete checklist of technical inspection in the sample diagnostic card:
Inspection frequency
For private cars technical inspection is not required three years from the date of production. Personal cars from three to seven years of age are subject to technical inspection every two years. Then every year. For other categories of transport, the interval may differ. Look for your car. We have covered this issue in detail.
How to make sure you pass the inspection
For a positive expert opinion during technical inspection, vehicles must be carefully prepared. If the OSAGO validity period is coming to an end, you need to do it as soon as possible. Without a diagnostic card issued during the technical inspection, you will not be issued insurance. There are organizations that combine the activities of technical inspection and car insurance. We are just such a company: we are professionally engaged in insurance and we have our own technical inspection station. We can help you within an hour.
On January 1, 2012, new rules for passing technical inspection came into force. The most significant of the innovations are aimed at simplifying and accelerating the maintenance process.
Technical inspection functions have been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to independent technical inspection operators. Maintenance can be carried out not only state structures, but also private companies accredited by the PCA. Conduct random inspections of vehicles individual brands allowed authorized dealers who have an agreement with the manufacturer and (or) importer of cars (such dealers must also be accredited by the PCA).
The Russian Union of Motor Insurers (RSA) accredits technical inspection operators, maintains their register, controls the activities of maintenance operators and conducts inspections.
New order of maintenance
In the "Rules for the technical inspection of vehicles", approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on December 5, 2011 No. 1008, two main principles are fixed: reducing the time of the procedure to the minimum possible (without compromising road safety) and fulfilling the requirements contained in the technical regulations , government decrees and in international treaties of the Russian Federation.
can be taken in any region of the country. You can choose a convenient region in which to this moment the vehicle is located. The region may not match the place of residence of its owner or place of registration vehicle.
According to the new rules, the sale of an OSAGO policy is tied to the presence of a diagnostic card.
The technical inspection operator is obliged:
- provide a service related to the technical inspection, with the exception of the provision of services for the technical inspection of vehicles by a dealer, to any person who applied for its provision, regardless of place of residence individual, location legal entity, the place of registration of the vehicle,
- refuse to issue a diagnostic card if the vehicle does not comply with at least one of the mandatory vehicle safety requirements.
Authorized Dealer, which is the technical inspection operator, has the right to refuse to the car owner in carrying out maintenance of his vehicle, if the brand of such a vehicle does not match the specialization of the dealer.
From January 1, 2012, a medical certificate, an OSAGO policy and a notarized power of attorney (if the driver is not the owner) are no longer needed to undergo MOT.
Until July 30, 2012, the fact of passing the technical inspection was confirmed by a technical inspection coupon, currently the only document allowing the vehicle to traffic, — . However, previously issued inspection coupons will be accepted by insurance companies for registration of OSAGO insurance until August 1, 2015. In the future, all information about passing the technical inspection will be checked using the Unified Automated information system technical inspection (EAISTO). This system is currently without fail all information about the technical inspections carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation is sent.
In general, the new technical inspection rules tend to simplify the technical inspection procedure for car owners, but the main elements that affect the safety of the vehicle have been retained. The check takes place on 65 points, all of them are listed in the diagnostic card. This includes checking:
- brake performance,
- the state of the elements of the brake system and steering,
- content of pollutants in exhaust gases,
- serviceability of external lighting devices,
- serviceability of the windshield wiper and washer,
- tint level windshield, front side windowscount and stenumber of front doors,
- equipped with a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle.
According to the rules, passenger car it will take only 30 minutes to go through the necessary technical procedures (earlier time technical diagnostics was 42 minutes).
Performs vehicle diagnostics technical expert, which works for your chosen maintenance operator. technical expert assumes full responsibility for the inspection. After examination, the expert makes a decision on the issuance diagnostic card, which contains a conclusion on the compliance or non-compliance of the TC mandatory requirements security. Technical inspection operators will be responsible for accidents that occurred due to technical failure, which was reviewed by their maintenance specialists.
If no problems are found, the car is considered approved for road traffic. If the expert has found certain problems, they are entered into the diagnostic card and the car is sent for re-examination. will be paid, but only those parameters for which the car did not pass the "certification" for the first time will be checked. If you want to undergo a second inspection with another MOT operator, technical condition the vehicle will be checked completely and again - you will have to pay the full cost of the inspection again.
Innovations in 2014 require the mandatory provision of a valid technical inspection coupon at the conclusion insurance contract on the car. And without an insurance policy, you can’t drive and, in addition, you won’t register the vehicle. Therefore, after purchasing the machine, it is necessary to resolve the issue of passing a technical inspection as soon as possible. We will tell you how to pass a vehicle inspection in our article.
Technical inspection of the car is carried out by appointment
You must always remember that there is a preliminary record for technical inspection. Phones of regional service stations are freely available on any autoportal. Everything should be prepared in advance Required documents and make payment according to the specified details. After that, you can go to the place of technical inspection. The duration of the technical inspection of the car is usually about a few hours. Successful completion of maintenance is confirmed by a diagnostic card, which indicates the parameters to be checked and there is a mark on the serviceability of the vehicle. The period of validity of the inspection coupon depends entirely on the year of manufacture of the car and corresponds to the 3-2-2-1-1-… scheme, that is, on new car MOT is given for three years, then twice for 2, and if the car is more than 7 years old, the inspection must be carried out every year.
What do you need to pass the inspection
The owner of the car must have the following set of documents for the inspection:
- driver's license;
- identity document. Usually this is a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or a temporary certificate issued by the internal affairs authorities in case it is lost. Citizens of other countries provide a residence permit or their national passports;
- certificate confirming the registration of the car;
- a medical certificate of the established form (valid for 3 years) is not required since 2011;
- a document giving the right to own or operate a vehicle, a technical certificate and a registration certificate;
- receipt of payment of car tax and state duty for issuing a coupon. According to the legislation, the state duty may not be paid by pensioners, disabled people of all categories, Heroes of Russia, Heroes Soviet Union, holders of the Order of Glory and public organizations of the disabled;
- a valid OSAGO policy (autocitizen) is not required since 2011;
- if there is an advertising image on the car, then the agreement between the owner of the vehicle and the advertiser should be presented.
Documents filled out in pencil, as well as having additions or strikethroughs, are not accepted.
The cost of technical inspection is formed from the state duty (uniform throughout the Russian Federation) and directly the cost of instrumental control (depending on the region)
Technical inspection features
A list of points for passing the inspection can be viewed on the traffic police website or the local autoportal. It is also possible to undergo MOT in one of the private technical centers. In 2011, a law was passed that established new rules. To pass the technical inspection, there is no need to present a medical certificate and an OSAGO insurance contract, and you can directly pass the inspection of the car at any station you like.
maintenance cost
What is the price technical inspection car is also a very important issue. The current tax code Russian Federation establishes a state duty for technical inspection in the amount of 300 rubles. Full cost The entire procedure will consist of:
- State duty (has a fixed value in all regions of Russia).
- Payment for the performance of instrumental control (determined independently in each individual region).
To pass the technical inspection procedure, the owner of the car will need to pay about 800 rubles.
Before carrying out the maintenance procedure, all fines and receipts should be collected. They can be paid directly at the station. It is necessary to take a certain amount of small bills with you, since the machines for receiving money do not give change. It is important to have a fire extinguisher available (you need to check its expiration date), emergency sign and first aid kit. The address of registration in the vehicle registration certificate and passport must be the same. Special attention should be given to the work of turn signals, dipped headlights and high beam. You can independently check for leaks in the car brake fluid, engine oil and inspect the condition of the hoses.
Without fail, the service station checks:
- total steering play;
- CO emission index;
- sound signal;
- front and rear wipers, turn signals and washers;
- reliability hand brake and braking forces of the rear and front axles;
- stop signal operation fog lights, parking lights and dipped and main beam lamps.
At technical inspection stations, the serviceability of lighting devices is especially carefully checked.
Innovations
Not so long ago, certain changes were made to the rules for passing a technical inspection. Now new vehicles are transferred to new owners along with a valid TO ticket. This allows the buyer of the car not to undergo inspection for three years from the date of operation of the car. Also, the approved bill provides an opportunity to repair a car at a technical inspection station. Car owners have the right self-selection maintenance locations. The place of registration of transport will no longer matter. In addition, the list is reduced binding documents to go through the procedure.
From January 1, new rules for passing technical inspection in 2017, according to which the control over the procedure will be more stringent and streamlined. According to the government, this measure will allow car owners to receive quality and real services, as well as reliable information about the condition of the car. The purpose of the new bill is to improve the level of transport safety on the roads, because car malfunctions often cause serious accidents.
What you need to pass the inspection in 2017 and what changes await motorists in the light of the new bill?
Location of inspection in 2017
According to the new bill, control over passing inspection in 2017 will be taken over by state organizations of the Russian Federation. If earlier the accreditation of service stations and service points was issued by the Russian Union of Motor Insurers (RSA), then when the new rules come into force, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will control this process. In this regard, some tightening of the procedure is expected. inspection in 2017 year and increased requirements for service points, which will lead to a reduction in their number, as well as possible queues.
To receive accreditation, potential performers must have sufficient material resources and technical equipment. This means that permission to vehicle inspection in 2017 will receive only large service stations. On the other hand, the increased accident rate on the road due to transport malfunctions is a consequence of the wrong RSA policy. After all, many are familiar with the situation when a diagnostic card can be bought without stopping at service stations and inspection points.
As to whether where to pass inspection in 2017, then the service points accredited for technical inspection are indicated on the interactive map of the PCA. To find the nearest service stations to your place of residence, just enter the name in the search bar locality. Besides, detailed information you will be provided by the traffic police, the insurance company.
Vehicle Inspection Frequency set depending on the age of the park. Vehicles operated for less than three years since release. In other words, if the car left the assembly line in 2014, and it was taken from the salon in 2017, a technical inspection is required. The formula for passing is as follows: the first 3 years from the date of issue of the vehicle do not need to be tested. Further, after 3 years, the diagnostic card is extended for 2 years, then for another 2, after which the inspection is performed every year. For other categories, an annual review is provided, and for public transport- once every six months. The exception is trailers and motorcycles, for which the inspection period is set after 3, 5 and 7 years from the date of issue.
Possible pros and cons of the project
Introduction of a new car inspection procedure in 2017 raises some questions for car owners. First of all, it concerns the cost. It should be said here that it will be limited maximum limit, and will also depend on the region and category of transport. Taking into account the abolition of the state duty, the prices for technical inspection in 2017 look democratic.
According to the results of calculations and economic forecasts, the average payment for technical inspection will be:
- transport category N1 - 770 rubles;
- auto cat. M1 - about 720 rubles;
- transport cat. O1 - 600 rubles;
- cat. L - 240 rubles.
Among the advantages new program can be called:
- absence state duty for technical inspection in 2017.;
- reducing the number of dishonest and fictitious service points;
- exception inspection coupon for OSAGO in 2017.;
- obtaining reliable information about the state of transport;
- reducing the number of unchecked cars on the roads and, as a result, reducing the accident rate.
However, experts also talk about the quite predictable shortcomings of the new bill, which will be:
- an increase in the cost of car owners to eliminate malfunctions that do not affect safety;
- delays in issuing an OSAGO policy;
- queues at checkpoints due to thorough system checks and documentation;
- an increase in the number of illegal items.
To stimulate car owners and have an effective impact, the government has proposed fines for refuseniks and irresponsible drivers. Now, in the absence of a timely inspection, you can get a minimum fine of 500 rubles. for one trip.
What is required to pass the inspection
From documents for technical inspection in 2017 excluded the technical ticket. Now, the procedure will only need a diagnostic card, the service life of which depends on the year of manufacture of the vehicle. If the ticket has not yet expired, forcibly change it to new map no need.
How looks like a diagnostic card of inspection in 2017? It is an A4 document that contains full information about the vehicle, including registration and technical data. Each card is assigned a number consisting of 21 digits, and the expiration date is also indicated. These data can be checked in a single EAISTO database via the Internet. The table, consisting of 65 items, indicates the parameters and results of the mandatory check. Without the signature of the master who carried out the inspection and the seal of the service point, the diagnostic card is invalid.
Motorists are also interested in the question of whether what you need for a technical inspection for OSAGO in 2017 d. To pass the background check, a Russian citizen will need the following documents:
- Russian passport;
- power of attorney for transport in the absence of the owner;
- registration certificate or PTS.
To successfully pass the diagnosis, you need to fully prepare the car and fix serious defects chassis, engine, steering wheel, brake, fuel, cooling systems, check electrical equipment and lighting fixtures. The lack of a first aid kit with complete contents and a fire extinguisher is the reason for refusing to issue a diagnostic card, so make sure you have these mandatory items in advance.
How to pass the inspection in 2017
If you are interested in how to pass a car inspection in 2017, we advise you to carefully prepare for a real test. After all, now the option when you could buy a technical ticket or a card without stopping at a service station will be a thing of the past. However, there will be exit points that will be able to check the car on the periphery using mobile stands and tools.
Answering the question of car owners about What is checked at the technical inspection in 2017, we note: according to the new rules, all vehicle systems without exception that affect the passive and active safety and on environmental friendliness. Among them:
- brakes;
- engine;
- fuel system;
- steering;
- chassis;
- lighting devices;
- windshield wipers and washers;
- individual body elements(locks, handles, traction, coupling devices and etc.).
In addition, as already noted, the presence of a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher is subject to mandatory verification.
Almost every year, new rules, conditions of procedures and technical regulations are introduced into the legislation. In this regard, many owners have not yet figured out when to undergo an inspection and whether it is needed at all. Someone thinks this procedure mandatory, and someone is firmly convinced that this is just another way to get money out of the wallets of law-abiding people. Naturally, these questions cannot be answered unambiguously, since the situation of a single car owner is unique.
Changes in the rules for passing technical inspection
Many believe that the MOT has been canceled recently. But this opinion is wrong. Yes, in July 2012, new rules were introduced, and on July 4, 2014, some adjustments were made to them. Therefore, the corresponding question arises: is it necessary? Everyone needs to pass inspection. All vehicle owners are required to provide their car for its passage. The exception is new cars of category B, the service life of which does not exceed three years.
Let's look at the changes that affected the technical inspection in more detail.
Firstly, earlier, in order to pass the technical inspection, it was necessary to provide a valid insurance policy. Now, everything is exactly the opposite: to conclude an insurance contract, you must have a document confirming that the car is in good condition.
Secondly, now there is no maintenance ticket. It was replaced by a diagnostic card. This document is a sheet of paper that reflects data on the checked components of the car, as well as compliance or non-compliance with safety requirements.
What is the maintenance procedure
Alas, not all owners take their car responsibly and think about whether to undergo a technical inspection. This is partly due to the fact that there is no understanding that the negligent attitude to the car can lead to serious consequences. Do not neglect this procedure. Inspection allows you to understand whether the car needs repair, and therefore, to protect yourself and others on the road.
After completing all the paperwork and paying the fee, the MOT master determines the condition of the vehicle. The work of lighting equipment is checked, the degree harmful emissions And technical specifications car. After that, the car is driven onto the lift. However, as practice shows, most operators are interested in whether there are any complaints about the behavior on the road, and that's it. A thorough check occurs only if there are any comments from the client.
At successful completion inspection, the operator will fill out a diagnostic card and give it to the owner of the car. It is necessary to make sure that there is no information about malfunctions (the results of instrumental check), there is the signature of the master and the seal of the maintenance point.
Required documents
How to pass technical inspection? To pass it and receive a diagnostic card, you need to show the following documents:
- passport;
- certificate of registration or PTS.
This list is exhaustive and established by the law "On Technical Inspection". Requests for additional documents are illegal, although many operators require them, and arguing with them about this is useless.
Inspection for new cars
New category B vehicles are exempted from technical inspection for three years. It should be borne in mind that the report does not come from the day of purchase, but from the day the car was released. That is, for a car purchased in January 2015, the release of which falls on March 2014, no inspection is required until March 2018.
Despite this, owners must obtain an OSAGO policy and register the car.
When is an inspection required?
For cars and trucks with permission maximum weight up to 3.5 tons, trailers and semi-trailers, as well as motor vehicles, the age of which is from three to seven years, passing a technical inspection is mandatory every two years.
Vehicles over seven years old are subject to an annual inspection.
When to undergo a technical inspection if the driver has a valid OSAGO policy? The next check can be passed not earlier than the end of the insurance.
Inspection for rare cars
Is it necessary? Everyone needs to pass inspection, regardless of the age of the vehicle. If some parts of the structure were not installed at the time of the car's release, they will not be checked. For example, on a 1904 car, there are no parking lights. They will not be checked at the maintenance point, since at that time they simply were not invented.
Checkup every six months
There are several types of vehicles that are subject to mandatory inspection every six months. This category includes:
- light taxis;
- trucks intended for the carriage of passengers, the number of seats of which exceeds eight;
- buses;
- specialized vehicles designed for the transport of dangerous goods, and trailers for them.
There are special requirements for cars in this category. They still have a fine for not having a diagnostic card. Traffic police officers have the right to check the availability and validity of it. Therefore, in this case passing the technical inspection is necessary before the expiration of the previous one.
Another feature: when applying for an insurance policy for these cars, you do not need to provide a diagnostic card.
How to pass inspection without problems? What can I do to get a diagnostic card the first time?
The inspection procedure is now carried out only by independent operators who have passed special accreditation. It has become much more convenient. For example, now a diagnostic card can be obtained from official dealer during the annual planned Maintenance. If you do not conduct it or do not trust the official service, then you can choose the most conveniently located maintenance point. The list of operators where to pass technical inspection is easy to find on the PCA website. There you can also clarify the cost of the procedure, since there is no fixed price in Russia. The authorities of each region have the right to independently set the maximum cost.
How to pass inspection the first time? In order to get a diagnostic card without problems, you need to check the availability of everything you need and make sure that the car is in good condition. Before arriving at the service point, it is best to wash the car, as they may formally refuse service, although often they simply unobtrusively offer additional service by washing. To pass the technical inspection, it is not necessary to rub the car to a shine. The main thing is that the numbers are readable, and it is possible to identify the body color.
On rear window a car whose owner has less than two years of experience must have a sticker in the form of an exclamation mark.
In addition to the vehicle registration certificate, the maintenance station master does not need to present anything (according to the law). But in reality, they may be required to provide rights, a passport and original TCP. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, it is best to take all the documents with you.
Troubleshooting timelines
If during the inspection of the car no problems were found, it is allowed to road traffic. If the expert has found at least one defect, a corresponding note is made in the diagnostic card, and the machine is subject to re-checking.
How to pass inspection in this case? If the owner eliminates all defects within 20 days and presents the car to the same maintenance point, only those parameters that did not meet the requirements will be checked. mandatory conditions vehicle safety (for which there were comments for the first time). Repeated diagnostics will be paid, but it will be necessary to pay only for the services actually rendered.
If more than due date, or passing re-inspection planned at another service point, the car will be checked in its entirety, and the payment for the procedure will have to be paid in full.
Where can I get an inspection?
Previously, it was possible to pass it at the place of registration or at the place of residence, having a temporary registration in hand. Where is the inspection now? Now you can get a diagnostic card at any maintenance point. That is, the owner has the right to independently choose not only the operator, but also the city, regardless of the place of registration of the car and its owner.
The new law transferred the authority to conduct technical inspections to duly accredited maintenance and dealer centers. It should be noted that the agreement for the issuance of diagnostic cards for dealers is not a public offer. They have the right to refuse to conduct a technical inspection without explaining the reasons for their decision. The rest of the institutions registered as maintenance operators cannot refuse to issue cards.
The technical operator is solely responsible for checking the vehicle. It is he who decides whether to issue a diagnostic card or not. And it is he who will be responsible in the event of an accident that occurred due to a technical malfunction that his specialists viewed.
What is checked during inspection?
The new rules have greatly simplified the process of checking a car. The inspection of only the main elements that affect the safety of the vehicle has been retained. All of them are listed in the diagnostic card. The technical inspection takes place at 65 points, and during the technical inspection, the following checks are carried out:
- steering status;
- state of the brake system;
- work of windshield washers and wipers;
- external lighting devices;
- tires and wheels;
- engine;
- the degree of pollution of the exhaust;
- the level of light transmission of glasses;
- equipped with a fire extinguisher, first aid kit and warning triangle.
When asked whether it is necessary to undergo a technical inspection, the answer is unambiguous and non-negotiable. Do not neglect the technical inspection, despite the fact that it is quite simple to purchase a diagnostic card at the moment. After all, not only your life, but also the life of the people around you depends on the condition of the car.
