(1 ratings, average: 5,00 out of 5)

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 a truck 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.

First, you should know that the technical inspection in general case needed. After the abolition of the state MOT, the task of checking its passage was assigned to insurance companies. Therefore, when applying for OSAGO insurance, you will be required to show a diagnostic card or simply check its availability in the database - after all, since last year, insurance companies have and are required to check on it. By the way, for used car buyers, this good news, because you can not have a diagnostic card on hand, but the database will show the passage of maintenance by the previous owner.

But for “fresh” cars younger three years an exception is made - they do not need to undergo MOT.

But there is a nuance, as they say. Many drivers are mistaken, believing that a diagnostic card does not need to be issued until the third “birthday” of the car, starting from the date indicated in the TCP. But insurance companies interpret this requirement differently - they do not require maintenance for cars manufactured this year, last year and the year before.

That is, in 2018, maintenance is not required for cars made in 2018, 2017 and 2016.

And for a car released even on December 31, 2015, it is already necessary to issue MOT, although formally it is not yet 3 years old. Because the calculation goes on for whole years, not days.

Let's take a look at the laws to understand who is right:

The fact that insurance companies must check for the presence of a technical inspection (it has not been canceled, as some people think), is written in the Federal Law “On OSAGO”, in Chapter II, Article 15, paragraph 3:

3.To conclude an agreement compulsory insurance The policyholder submits the following documents to the insurer:

e) diagnostic card , containing information about the conformity of the vehicle mandatory requirements vehicle safety (except in cases where, in accordance with the legislation in the field of technical inspection of vehicles, the vehicle is not subject to technical inspection or its conduct is not required or the procedure and frequency of the technical inspection are established by the Government of the Russian Federation, or the frequency of the technical inspection of such a vehicle is six months, as well as the cases provided for in paragraph 3 of Article 10 of this Federal Law)

As you can see, here the OSAGO Law refers to Law on Technical Inspection, so we look at what is written there. Namely - in Article 15(“Frequency of Technical Inspection”) Federal Law No. 170 of July 1, 2011 “On the Technical Inspection of Vehicles and on Amendments to Certain legislative acts Russian Federation":

2. No technical inspection required in the first three years, including year of issue, in relation to the following vehicles (with the exception of vehicles specified in paragraphs 1 and 3 of part 1 of this article):

1) cars;

2) trucks allowed maximum weight which is up to three tons five hundred kilograms;

3) trailers and semi-trailers, with the exception of vehicles specified in Part 4 of Article 32 of this Federal Law;

4) motor vehicles.

Items 1 and 3, which are indicated in the exceptions, are all sorts of taxis and buses that, by law, need to undergo MOT more often than ordinary cars and motorcycles.

As you can see, the insurance companies are right. So once again the conclusion is technical inspection in 2016 is not needed for cars manufactured in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (according to TCP). That is:

• if the car is 1 or 2 years old, then maintenance is not needed for insurance exactly,
• if the car is 3 years old, then you need to look at what month it was released,
• if the car is older than 3 years, then a diagnostic card is needed for sure.

This is how all services for the purchase of electronic OSAGO are configured.

You can discuss this issue in the comments below or.

P.S. After three years, the car undergoes MOT and receives a diagnostic card every 2 years until it is 7 years old. After that, an inspection must be carried out annually.

"Inspection, what is it?" This is exactly the question that novice drivers face immediately after acquiring their new, first-ever car. For most car owners, such a procedure seems like unnecessary hard labor, which causes them an additional headache.
So what is a technical inspection and is it necessary to pass it?

Inspection is a special procedure designed to check the technical condition of the vehicle. The main feature of the technical inspection is that it is carried out under the strict control of bodies authorized by the state. Inspection of the technical condition of the car can only be carried out by inspection operators who have the appropriate license.
During the technical inspection of the car, the following checks are carried out:

1. The braking system of a car.
2. External lighting fixtures.
3. Systems designed for the release of exhaust gases.

It is thanks to the timely passing of a technical inspection that drivers have the opportunity to warn various kinds of critical car malfunctions in time. For example, conducting such an inspection allows you to see problems in time in brake system and prevent brake failure serious problem which is the cause of many accidents.

Inspection frequency

The frequency of technical inspection is established at the state level.

In accordance with the requirements of regulatory legal acts, new cars are exempt from MOT until they reach the age of three. Consequently, the issuance of a coupon and a diagnostic card for such vehicles is also not provided.

When calculating the age of the vehicle, the year of manufacture of the car is taken into account, and not the year it began to operate.
For example, if the car was produced in 2014, and the dealer sold it only in 2016, then the car will have to undergo its first MOT in 2017.

Passenger cars under the age of 7 years must undergo a technical inspection once every two years.

For cars older than 7 years, the law provides for the need to undergo an inspection annually.

When is a new car inspected?

When exactly do you need to pass a technical inspection of a new car? This question is faced by almost every car buyer from the passenger compartment.
According to the law, the need to pass a technical inspection occurs only after the car reaches the age of three. Before this period, the technical standing of the car does not need to be checked, since the car is checked before it goes on sale.

It is worth noting that the expiration of the three-year period starts from the moment the car is produced, and not from the moment it actually starts to be used. That is, if the car has stood in the dealership for all three years, in the first year after the purchase, the new owner will have to undergo a technical inspection, even though the car has not been driven before.

Conversely, if the car was purchased immediately after release, the new owner will have the opportunity to do without passing a technical inspection for three years.

A diagnostic card for new cars is also not issued, since this document is provided only for cars undergoing technical inspection.

Diagnostic card. What is this? Card expiry date

A diagnostic card is a special document in which, in the form of a table, complete list all vehicle information. It is this card that contains a conclusion on whether it is possible to use this car.

The diagnostic card must be certified by a technical expert. The map must be drawn up in two forms. When compiling an electronic document, it is allowed to compile it in one form, with the obligatory assignment of a unique number. One map, drawn up in paper form, is given to the owner of the car, and the second - to an expert who will keep it for three years.

Map made in in electronic format, is transferred to a special electronic database, where it is stored for five years. If the card is lost, the car owner can contact his technical expert and receive it on the day of application.

Since 2014, the state fee for issuing a duplicate card has been abolished.

The validity period of the diagnostic card cannot be changed. It is valid for the period established by law, up to the date of the next technical inspection of the car. Many drivers are interested in the question of action this document when selling a car. There is an erroneous opinion according to which the diagnostic card must be replaced by the new owner of the car, even if it has not expired.

According to the requirements of Federal Law No. 170, the sale of a car is not the reason for an unscheduled inspection. Therefore, the diagnostic card will also be valid until the end of the current inspection of the car, regardless of who owns the car.

Where can I get an inspection

Since 2012, the owner of the car can independently choose the station Maintenance. The only thing worth paying attention to is the presence of special permission issued by the authorized state body.

That is, now the owner of the car is not only tied to a specific center where you can pass a technical inspection of his car, but also to the city. MOT can be carried out in any city and region of the country.

The inspection will be carried out by accredited maintenance operators and specialized dealership workers.
Since 2014, it has been impossible to conduct inspections at state sites.

Documents required for technical inspection

To send your car for technical inspection, the owner of the vehicle will have to submit the following package of documents to the traffic police:

1. Your passport.
2. Certificate of car registration.
3. Vehicle passport.
4. General power of attorney (duly certified), in cases where the inspection is not carried out by the owner of the car.

Terms of elimination of the revealed malfunctions

In some cases, during a technical inspection, experts find in the car whole line faults. Such inconsistencies prevent the issuance of a diagnostic card, without which it is impossible to drive a vehicle. If any malfunctions are detected, the car is subject to a second technical inspection.

All identified violations must be eliminated within twenty days. During this period, a second technical inspection of the car must also be carried out. When conducting a repeated technical inspection of the vehicle, specialists pay attention only to those violations that were indicated in the diagnostic card. During the inspection, the operator examines all previously identified violations for their compliance with the law and technical standards.
Re-inspection the vehicle is carried out for a fee, the exact amount of which is determined depending on the amount of work performed, but cannot exceed the established maximum for the inspection.

If the second inspection is carried out at another point or with another operator, it must be carried out in full.

If the vehicle is involved in an accident due to a malfunction that was not identified during the technical inspection of the vehicle, Insurance Company will be able to recover from the maintenance operator the full amount of the damage caused.

Responsibility for the absence of a technical inspection coupon

After the changes made to the Code of Administrative Offenses in 2012, liability for the absence of a technical inspection pass is no longer carried out. Consequently, the traffic police cannot issue a warning or a fine to the driver who could not present this document to them.

Separately, it should be noted that there are a number of persons to whom this requirement of the law does not apply. At the request of the inspector, the MOT pass certificate must be presented:

1. Taxi drivers.
2. Bus drivers.
3. Truck drivers.
4. Drivers of vehicles belonging to the category of special.

If, during the inspection, it is revealed that the above persons drive a vehicle without having a MOT pass, they will be issued a fine in the amount of 500 to 800 rubles.

As soon as a person has a car, the concept of “inspection” inevitably enters his life.

The rules of passage are changing, the structures authorized to carry it out, but this inspection process itself remains unchanged.

The rules for the diagnostic inspection of cars were changed quite a lot a few years ago, and now the question often arises: “how to pass the inspection of a new car and after how many years should this be done?”

No special documents are required for the procedure. Everything is standard: the owner's passport, driver license, Title and vehicle registration certificate, power of attorney, if the owner of the car is not engaged in technical inspection.

So, let's figure out when (how many years after the purchase) you need to undergo an inspection for new car. There were no special innovations in the rules in 2016. There are new changes (rather radical) that appeared in previous years. Not all motorists still know about them.

Today, the law on vehicle diagnostics, adopted in 2011, with subsequent amendments and additions, and the rules introduced in 2012, as amended in 2014, are still relevant. According to these and some other legislative and regulatory acts in our country, all cars are subject to technical inspection. Exceptions: cars under three years old from the date of issue are not checked.

This list includes:

• Cars;
• trucks (no more than 3.5 tons);
• motorcycles;
• trailers and semi-trailers.

The technical condition of the new car during warranty period controlled by the owner.

Reputable car dealerships, when selling, usually give a guarantee for three or five years. In a year they can offer to hold technical check car in your specialized center or make it at the request of the buyer.

According to the latest rules, technical inspection at the discretion of the owner of the car can be carried out anywhere, and not just at the place of registration, as it was before. This innovation, no doubt, is very convenient for car owners.

Technical inspection can now be carried out in any authorized organization. Previously, this could only be done at the traffic police at the driver's place of residence.

Service document

Experienced drivers remember that a special inspection ticket was issued earlier. Some time ago (in 2012) coupons were canceled.

Now a diagnostic card is a document confirming the excellent technical condition of the vehicle.

What is she like?

This is a standard A4 document in the form of a table. The table includes full details about vehicles. Plus a conclusion about whether it can be used or not.

The document is given a unique number. It is signed technical expert. One copy is kept by the expert for three years, the second is issued to the car owner. It is impossible to forge a card, since in electronic form it is included in a single automated information system TO, where it is up to five years.

Now, if you lose the paper version of the card, there is always the opportunity to restore it. Moreover, it is completely free, as well as the original diagnostic card, because the state duty has been canceled.

Owners of new cars do not need a diagnostic card. The serviceability of the car is confirmed by the fact that the period of its operation is less than three years.

It is enough to have a title and a certificate of ownership. These documents contain data on the release date of the machine.

When is a new car inspected?

As soon as the car "turns" three years old, including the year of manufacture, it will be necessary to undergo a technical inspection.

If a car that is not yet three years old is sold, the new owner does not need to carry out a technical inspection until the car “celebrates” its third anniversary. The same goes for the roadmap. It does not need to be changed when selling or buying a car before its expiration date.

Terms of technical inspection

Many are concerned about the question of how long a technical inspection is valid for a new car.

After the period of operation of a new car without a diagnostic card has expired and the first technical inspection has been passed, to following procedure the car should be prepared only after two years.

According to now current rules, vehicles "aged" between three and seven years are inspected every two years.

Cars that were produced more than seven years ago undergo an annual technical inspection.

A number of cars - passenger transport, taxis, trucks carrying dangerous goods are required to check technical condition every six months.

The rules allow that a car owner, including a new car, on his own initiative, if he suspects a malfunction, can apply for an extraordinary technical inspection and pass it at a certified diagnostic center.

How is the technical inspection?

The procedure goes through 65 parameters and includes the following main points:

• instrumental diagnostics is carried out;
• analyzes the work of the brake and running system(tire condition);
• looks lighting fixtures, headlight adjustment;
• the degree of backlash of the steering wheel and suspension is estimated;
• emissions are checked for toxicity in accordance with the standard;
• checked for compliance with standards - technical fluids;
• researched work door locks, wipers and washers;
• looks, what is the condition of the rear-view mirrors;
• the degree of transparency of glasses is assessed;
• safety belts are checked for operability and compliance;
• Checking for license plates
• the presence, compliance with the standards and the expiration date of the fire extinguisher and first aid kit, the presence of an emergency triangle are checked.

If the car is in good condition in all respects, a diagnostic card is issued confirming successful completion technical inspection. Otherwise, a card is issued with the conclusion that further operation of the car is impossible. A list of malfunctions is also attached here, for the period of correction of which three weeks are given. Then resubmit the vehicle for inspection. Re-inspection is carried out only according to the list of faults.

If after 21 days the car is not presented, in the future the technical inspection will have to be re-passed in all respects.

Technical inspection and civil liability

According to the current rules, before insuring a car and obtaining an OSAGO policy, you must pass a technical inspection. It used to be the other way around: first insurance, then technical inspection.

The insurer's requirement to present a diagnostic card for a car that is not required to have one is illegal.

Cost of the procedure

Under market conditions, when transferring the rights to carry out the procedure to private accredited companies, prices vary depending on the location of the inspection and the type of car.

The car is not just a means of transportation, but also a reliable friend of its owner. Of course, this statement is only true if it is properly looked after and checked for malfunctions.

Last year, rumors began to circulate among drivers that the authorities had canceled the inspection. Actually this is not true. But, in order to avoid such gossip, we decided to figure out whether it is necessary to undergo a technical inspection in 2016, and how to do it correctly.

Why drivers decided that the inspection was canceled

To begin with, we mention that in 2016 the technical inspection rules introduced back in 2014 apply.

It has not been canceled, and every vehicle owner must provide a car for it to pass. It's just that the law has changed some rules that must be followed.

There are exceptions here, though. If your vehicle less than three years, then you can not pass inspection.

A vehicle registered in another state may have insurance called a "green card" or our Russian OSAGO. To pass inspection in Russia, drivers of such vehicles must provide either our or an international certificate of inspection.

Previously, in order to pass a technical inspection, the owner of the car had to provide a valid OSAGO policy. Now it's the other way around. That is, in order to buy insurance, you need to pass a technical inspection.

Inspection will not have to pass if you bought a car with a valid policy. In this case, only an amendment is made about the new owner in the vehicle passport.

If the inspection card is lost, then you can easily get a duplicate of it. And you won't have to wait long for that. The place of receipt of the diagnostic card does not matter. You will have to pay a fee in the amount of a tithe of the cost of the entire inspection.

Previously, there was a provision of the law, in connection with which, in order to buy an insurance policy, it was necessary that the technical inspection was valid for six months. Now he has been expelled. And yet, you can buy OSAGO even at the moment if there is one day left before the end of the technical inspection.

How to buy an OSAGO policy without technical inspection

Many are interested in whether it is necessary to undergo a technical inspection in 2016, precisely in order to buy an insurance policy. In fact, you can purchase it without insurance.

This provision applies not only to cars that are not yet three years old, but also to other vehicles. But, there is some correction. The policy will be valid only for 20 days, and it is a single one. Basically, this is necessary either to register the car, or to follow to the place of inspection.

During the technical inspection, the masters check:

• steering;
• brake system;
• lighting devices;
• electronics;
• wheels;
• motor.

Previously, in order to pass the technical inspection, one had to go to the place of registration of the vehicle. Now this rule has been simplified, and you can check your car at any point for technical inspection. You can choose both the place and the city. The fact is that now there is no region code in the coupon.

Also, earlier inspection could only be carried out by the state traffic inspectorate, and now there are special accredited points that issue a coupon. This includes and dealer centers who are required to inspect your car in by law okay. They must have acceptable reasons for not doing so. In order to pass the technical inspection of the car, you only need a passport and a vehicle registration certificate.

How much does an inspection cost and when is it due?

As already mentioned, if the vehicle is less than three years old, then it is not necessary to undergo an inspection. The law used to be a little different. When buying a car from the salon, you had to diagnose it, and you were given a coupon for a period of three years. A car from three to seven years old should be checked every two years, and if the model is older than seven years, then this must be done every year.

The cost of inspection depends on the city where you will pass it. According to the new law, each subject of the Federation can set tariffs independently. For example, in St. Petersburg, diagnostics will cost a maximum of 881 rubles. This was issued by the relevant resolution of the city authorities.

Punishment for the lack of a technical inspection coupon

As such, there is no penalty for not having a vehicle inspection pass. But, if you get into an accident, the insurance company may refuse to pay you compensation, and it will be right. The same rule applies at the moment if the diagnostic card is stitched. We hope that we have exhaustively answered the question of whether it is necessary to undergo an inspection in 2016. Therefore, do not forget about the diagnosis, and only then you and your car will be completely safe.
