Every motorist knows the importance of passing regular technical inspection. This procedure must be carried out in due time. Without a technical inspection, it is simply impossible to issue an OSAGO insurance policy. This is also known to all motorists.
Of course, earlier there was a fine for the lack of technical inspection. Driving without an inspection ticket could result in the imposition of an administrative penalty on the driver. A traffic police officer could simply demand to present a ticket, and in the absence of it, a fine could not be avoided.
Can you drive without a vehicle inspection? How long can you drive without a vehicle inspection? How much is the late inspection fee? What is the penalty for driving without a vehicle inspection? All these questions will be answered in this article.
The requirements for the operation of vehicles change very often, which requires drivers to pay increased attention to all the innovations that appear constantly. The changes also affected the rules regarding technical inspection.
In this case, we are talking not only about changing the technical inspection coupon to a diagnostic card, but also about the availability of technical inspection for drivers. In the code of administrative offenses Russian Federation there are clearly defined provisions that relate to the time for passing a technical inspection, taking into account the type and age of transport.
In the case of cars, as well as trucks that weigh less than 3.5 tons, it can be noted that during three years from the beginning of their operation, technical inspection is not required. The same applies to trailers with semi-trailers.
At the same time, inspection should be carried out every two years if the car is between three and seven years old. If the age of the car has already exceeded the mark of seven years, the motorist will have to carry out a technical inspection every year.
Taxis, buses and trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons must pass inspection every six months. However, all the above rules do not provide for a mandatory timely technical inspection. This requirement depends on such factors as the form of operation of the vehicle.
Traffic police inspectors have every right to demand a diagnostic card from taxi and bus drivers, which must be issued on time. Ordinary drivers no longer have to present a diagnostic card at the request of a traffic police officer.
This state of affairs is easily explained degree of responsibility drivers of certain vehicles.
So, now it’s worth pointing out which drivers should take care of the timely passing of a technical inspection because of the likelihood of receiving an administrative penalty. These are the people who manage:
- buses;
- Taxi;
- vehicles that are designed to transport dangerous goods.
The fact that an ordinary driver does not have to show a diagnostic card allows him to delay the technical inspection and at the same time not be afraid of getting fined. In principle, an ordinary motorist can safely drive without insurance.
Why MOT is still relevant
Of course, after the rules were adopted, allowing not to worry about the timely passing of a technical inspection, many motorists asked themselves a completely logical question: why carry out a technical inspection at all, if now it can even not be passed on time, for which there is not even a fine for the absence of a technical inspection ?
Technical inspection, even despite all the changes that have been adopted relatively recently, still remains a mandatory procedure. Passing a technical inspection allows every motorist to find out about any malfunctions from your vehicle, which will have to be eliminated.
But the main reason why it is simply necessary to pass a technical inspection on time is that without a technical inspection, a motorist simply will not be able to take out OSAGO insurance.
In principle, it should be clarified that it is possible to get insurance, but an overdue technical inspection will unable to receive financial compensation driver from the insurance company in the event of a traffic accident. Lack of insurance can lead to very backfire.
What are the penalties
As mentioned above, drivers of taxis, buses, and special vehicles are supposed to carry out a technical inspection on time. Otherwise, they face a fine.
The amount of the fine for an overdue technical inspection for drivers of special vehicles, buses and taxis is 5 thousand rubles. There is also the possibility of receiving a punishment in the form of deprivation of a driver's license for up to three months.
Ordinary drivers may not worry if their inspection is overdue. The only thing that can lead to a fine in such circumstances is the absence of an OSAGO insurance policy. The amount of the administrative penalty for this offense is 800 rubles. So it's better not to travel without insurance.
Who should pay in the event of a fine
Finally, one more point should be clarified. The fact is that among the readers of this article there will certainly be hired drivers who may need an answer to next question: in case of delay in the technical inspection of the driver special equipment and the imposition of a fine for this, who must pay it - driver or owner vehicle?
To begin with, you should again provide a list of those vehicles whose drivers are required to carry out technical inspections in due time:
- Buses.
- Taxi.
- Specialized technology.
- Trucks.
Now the answer will be question asked. In the event of a fine for the lack of technical inspection, it is necessary to pay an administrative penalty directly to the driver special vehicle. The owner of this car has every right not to pay the penalty.
Inspection is directly related to compulsory car insurance - OSAGO. And if before 2012 it was impossible to pass a technical inspection without an OSAGO policy, today the opposite principle applies: without a passed technical inspection, no insured has the right to issue an insurance policy.
And in this regard, there are two penalty situations for the driver: when he did not pass the technical inspection and therefore did not receive insurance, and when there is insurance, but the technical inspection was overdue and was not passed at all.
What happens if the vehicle does not have a policy, a diagnostic card?
When a driver drives a car without insurance and technical inspection, he risks not only getting caught by the traffic police and getting a fine, but also just getting into an accident and losing insurance payments. A Inspection can help to detect malfunctions in advance, which can provoke an accident. However, if these things may well not happen, then the usual verification of documents cannot be avoided. And accordingly the driver will face a fine.
There is also an administrative fine for driving without compulsory insurance OSAGO, which will be added to the fine for the lack of technical inspection. And based on the second part of Article 12.37 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, its amount is 800 rubles. This fine is applied not only in this case, but also in any scenario of the missing OSAGO, even with an overdue policy.
12.37 article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Failure to comply with the requirements for compulsory civil liability insurance of vehicle owners
- Driving a vehicle during the period of its use, which is not provided for by the insurance policy of compulsory civil liability insurance of vehicle owners, as well as driving a vehicle in violation of the conditions provided for by this insurance policy for driving this vehicle only by the drivers indicated in this insurance policy - administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.
- Failure by the owner of a vehicle to fulfill the obligation established by federal law to insure his civil liability, as well as driving a vehicle, if such compulsory insurance is known to be absent, shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of eight hundred roubles.
And you a fine for driving without a state technical inspection is regulated by article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (paragraph 2), and ranges from 500 to 800 rubles. Of course, it cannot be called very large, but hardly anyone wants to get it.
But it is worth paying attention that, based on the current traffic rules, technical inspection is not required from all motorists, and many simply will not be checked. And even if they really have an overdue inspection or a diagnostic card is completely absent, they will be able to avoid punishment.
If the car is insured, but without MOT
Such cases are rarer, but still slip through. Of course, at first glance, this simply cannot be, because it makes it clear that It is impossible to conclude an insurance contract without a passed technical inspection. However, some insurers may sell policies without technical inspection, but since this is illegal, you can not wait for payments in the event of an insured event.
Also large Insurance companies may issue policies on the agreement that the inspection will be carried out at soon eg 10 days. And if such an agreement is not fulfilled, then the insurance payments to the violator will also not wait.
And also inspection may simply be overdue, and insurance for this moment will act. Such cases happen a little more often, because it is easier to forget to pass the next technical inspection than to renew the OSAGO policy.
In both situations, only a fine for the lack of inspection will be charged. And, accordingly, this will affect only those for whom technical inspection is mandatory, and the presence diagnostic card always checked by the traffic police.
Vehicle inspection
Of course, although technical inspections are not checked as rigorously as before, when a diagnostic card was mandatory for every motorist, this does not negate the very importance of a scheduled inspection. If the car is in poor condition, then this is a direct threat to everyone drivers around, and maintenance will help to avoid this.
Why is it needed and how is the procedure carried out?
The technical inspection procedure is carried out only by special accredited operators, who work in special government organizations. Without them, it will not be possible to pass an examination and receive a diagnostic card.
At the inspection itself, the operability of all the main systems of the car is checked: lighting, brake system, exhaust system, etc. And even if the driver is one hundred percent confident in his car, you should never neglect such prevention.
Who is required to follow the law?
Today, there are not many categories of vehicles left, the drivers of which must undergo technical inspection, and without which a fine will be imposed. And these categories, the passage of MOT for which is mandatory, include:
- Buses.
- Light taxis.
- Other goods vehicles designed for the transport of people (with eight or more seats for passengers).
- Special vehicles that are designed and equipped for the transport of dangerous goods.
In the case of these vehicles, from the point of view of the state, technical inspection is more important, because in the event of malfunctions, where large quantity people than in the breakdown of any other mode of transport. And therefore the inspection rules for them are more stringent. Drivers will also be held administratively liable for the violation.
Respectively all other categories of cars are not checked by traffic police inspectors for the fact of passing a technical inspection. And therefore, many drivers can drive without worrying about the timely completion of this procedure, at least until they need to renew the OSAGO policy.
But based on the periods of this procedure, the following: after the first technical inspection, three years are counted until the next one, the next two inspections occur every two years, and all the rest every year. And for the categories described above with more stringent requirements, a technical inspection is required every six months.
Why remains relevant?
No one wants to have a car driving along the highway with him, which has problems, for example, with braking system. This is dangerous for the driver and for those around him. Today, many drivers neglect technical condition your car. Some people just don't care about breakdowns, since they don't drive often, while others confidently believe that their "swallow" drives as it should and nothing bad will happen.
State compulsory inspection in this regard helps drivers, reducing the number of accidents. And until the number of irresponsible car owners becomes as minimal as possible, mandatory inspection will remain relevant.
Pass conditions
Documents required for inspection:
- Passport or driver's license(to verify identity).
- If the owner of the car is absent, then a power of attorney from him will be required (you can find out about the dangers of driving someone else's car without a power of attorney).
- Certificate of registration or Title, if the car is not currently registered (read about whether there are fines for driving without a vehicle registration certificate and for driving a car without license plates).
Operators of technical inspection are not entitled to demand other documents.
In addition to documents, you should pay attention to:
- First aid kit. It has a limited shelf life, and therefore you need to check its components before going for an inspection.
- Fire extinguisher. It also has its own expiration date and should be replaced with a new one if necessary.
It is also worth paying attention that there is a common reason why you can not pass inspection - a crack on windshield. But if at the same time it is not located on half of the driver's glass, and does not fall into the wiper zone, then it will be possible to pass the inspection.
Who is allowed to drive a machine that has not been diagnosed?
As mentioned above, technical inspection and the availability of a diagnostic card is mandatory only for certain categories of vehicles. And only drivers of such groups of transport will face a fine for the lack of technical inspection.
For all other drivers of category B (except taxis), the fine for not passing or overdue inspection has been canceled. And traffic police inspectors should not even ask for a diagnostic card - this will be considered illegal.
Conclusion
Many motorists actually need a technical inspection only to obtain compulsory insurance, without which they will not be able to use their car. But technical inspection is important not only because of the fine, but because of the safety on the road, so it would be extremely irresponsible to neglect it. This is especially true for those categories of cars that carry a great danger, and without technical inspection they will receive a fine.

Behind last years it can be said with confidence that changes in traffic rules are not only for the benefit of the owners of all types of vehicles, but also for the simplification of maintenance and their maintenance.
So over the past two years, many motorists have almost forgotten and rarely remember what a technical inspection is. This is due to the fact that the issuance of coupons at maintenance points was canceled and, accordingly, it is no longer necessary to carry it along with the documents for the car. Along with this, it is also not necessary to provide it on demand, because. they no longer have such powers.
For the majority of citizens canceled the penalty for not passing inspection
As for the law on traffic rules, for a larger number of vehicle owners for driving without a technical inspection, the fine has been canceled, it used to be 500-800 rubles. Namely, the fine for a failed or overdue technical inspection has been canceled for all modes of transport, with the exception of the following:
1. Passenger taxi.
2. Buses.
3. Trucks that transport people with more than 8 seats.
4. Vehicles carrying dangerous goods.
Based on Article 12 of Part 2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, for these categories of vehicles for the lack of technical inspection, a fine of 500 rubles to 800 rubles is provided. And do not forget that without a passed technical inspection, you cannot get OSAGO insurance, because. insurance companies won't even talk without a valid diagnostic card.
So, the technical inspection fine has been canceled for all vehicles, except for taxis, buses, trucks with more than 8 seats and vehicles carrying dangerous goods while driving.
In order for these drivers not to have troubles with the traffic police and have confidence in the safety and reliability while driving a car, they always need to pass the technical inspection in a timely manner and remember that they may face a fine for not having passed the MOT. For equipment that is designed to transport people, you need to receive a diagnostic card at maintenance points every six months.
Important information about technical inspection.
The MOT coupon was canceled, but, of course, everyone needs to pass it.
So, for new cars, motorcycles and trucks up to 3.5 tons with a year of manufacture up to 3 years, it is not necessary to undergo MOT. If their age is older than 2 years but less than 7, then they need to undergo MOT every two years. And if the vehicles are older than 7 years, then every year. For all other vehicles, namely, the movement of which is to transport people, with more than 8 seats, the technical inspection must be carried out once every six months.
Technical inspection for OSAGO
Why do I need a technical inspection to obtain an OSAGO policy?
Do not forget that is not enough important point that without a valid technical inspection on hand, you can’t get an OSAGO policy. And without it, any vehicles management is prohibited, and in addition, a fine is provided: for an overdue policy 800 rubles plus withdrawal state numbers and evacuation of the car to a car impound, if lost or forgotten - 500 rubles, and if the driver of the car is not entered - 500 rubles.
Do not rely on the correctness of our traffic police inspectors, because. they often like to qualify the committed violation under another article. So in our case, such cases are common when the driver simply forgets the OSAGO insurance at home, and the traffic police officer issues a fine of 800 rubles, instead of the required 500, and also removes license plates and calls a tow truck. It turns out that instead of a fine of 500 rubles, the driver will have to pay for the evacuation itself and parking at the impound lot. To avoid such misunderstandings, you need to be interested in changes in traffic rules and know the articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
Due to the simplification and uselessness of obtaining a diagnostic MOT card for most vehicles, many have a desire not to go through it at all. Such firms have appeared, especially on the Internet there are many of them, which promise to bring the card directly to the house and without inspecting the car from the TO operator. This entails a high probability of acquiring a fake or invalid document about. Some people believe that they need an inspection just for the sake of it. They are greatly mistaken: the legality of the DC can be easily checked with any technical inspection operator, and for insurance companies it is easier than ever, because. they all have access to EAISTO. And each issued DC has a unique number and is recorded within 24 hours in this database.
And the most important thing here is that even if you have OSAGO with an illegal technical inspection, then in the event of an accident, there will be no payments to the culprit with this policy. The only thing that the insurance company can do is to return the cost paid earlier for the policy purchased from it.
So, with a failed technical inspection, you cannot get an OSAGO insurance policy, and in any case, a victim in an accident with an invalid MOT will not receive any compensation for the damage received.
Summing up, we can conclude the following:
On the one hand the rules change traffic made life easier for most car owners by canceling the MOT coupon, on the other hand, do not forget to pass the inspection, because. it provides a partial guarantee good work car. And if you save on one thing, namely to get a fake MOT, then you can not get a penny from OSAGO during the resulting accident.
Every year, the life of drivers is becoming more and more simplified, a vivid example of which is the abolition of a fine for the lack of technical inspection. If earlier each driver had to present a MOT coupon at the first request of the traffic police inspector, now authorized representatives of the law do not have such rights. On the one hand, this makes many car owners relax. On the other hand, there are flip side medal, which we will consider in more detail.
For everyone canceled the fine for driving without inspection
In fact, only owners received exemption from paying a fine for a missing or overdue inspection. private cars category "B". However, the cancellation of punishment does not apply to other categories of the vehicle. In particular, :
- Passenger taxis
- Buses
- Goods vehicles with more than eight places for the carriage of passengers
- Vehicles designed for the transport of dangerous goods
For drivers of these vehicles, it is imperative to have a diagnostic card with the results of maintenance, since it is necessary not only for presentation to the traffic police officer. A vehicle belonging to any of the above types must necessarily comply with all technical requirements because the driver bears an increased responsibility.
Other motorists may not be so afraid if they have no or expired vehicle inspection.
Has TO really become unimportant?
In fact, the opinion of drivers that car diagnostics can be abandoned altogether is fundamentally wrong. According to the Rules, riding a technically broken car is prohibited, so it is better for car owners to take care of the condition of their " iron horse" in advance. This will help to avoid unpleasant situations during an accident, as well as generally reduce the percentage of the likelihood of accidents.
It is also worth remembering that you will not be able to get a CASCO or OSAGO policy without a technical inspection. Any self-respecting insurance company will not enter into a contract with you if the car has not been diagnosed. It is strictly forbidden to drive without an insurance policy. The fine for driving without a vehicle inspection is:
- for the absence of a policy - at least 800 rubles (in addition, the removal of the license plate and sending the car to a car impound, for which the driver will have to pay)
- for lost or forgotten - at least 500 rubles
- if the driver is not included in OSAGO - at least 500 rubles
However, it is not uncommon for an inspector to try to exceed his authority and impose a penalty under an inappropriate article. For example, for a forgotten policy, a driver is issued a decision comparable to a punishment for a complete lack of insurance. For this reason, in order not to overpay the main amount of the fine and not pay extra for the parking lot, it is useful to learn about changes in traffic rules in time, as well as to be interested in the articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
In connection with the cancellation of the fine, some companies offer drivers a diagnostic card with delivery without a preliminary inspection of the car. But it must be remembered that in this way, most likely, you will receive a fake or invalid document, according to which you will not be able to issue an insurance policy.
Despite the misconception that you can get insurance with a fake policy, this is extremely rare. Each diagnostic card has its own unique number, by which it is easy to trace, and this operation is available in any insurance company.
Even if you managed to get a policy on fake document about MOT, you will not be able to receive compensation for it after an accident. All you can count on is that the cost of the purchased insurance will be returned to you.
In the event that the perpetrator of the accident has such a policy, payments to the victim will be made, but after that, in a regressive manner, the insurance company will demand the entire amount from the violator.
Penalty for lack of inspection, and who pays it
An administrative penalty for a vehicle without a technical inspection is provided for in Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, paragraph 2, and its fine for the absence of a technical inspection is from 500 to 800 rubles.
One of the frequently asked questions is who exactly should pay the fine for lack of maintenance? The driver who is at the moment of fixing the violation at the wheel, or the owner of the fined car? According to the legislation, the driver is obliged to pay penalties, while the owner is not responsible for this. This applies to all categories of vehicles for which the lack of maintenance entails an administrative penalty.
Until recently, a technical inspection of a car was mandatory for almost all drivers. But now a fine for the lack of technical inspection is not issued in all cases. At the same time, a change in the requirements of the legislation does not mean at all that control over the technical condition of the car has been canceled. Any driver, as before, must monitor the health of his car, otherwise other problems await him. This applies, first of all, to the execution of the OSAGO policy.
To answer the question of how long it is possible to drive with an overdue technical inspection, it should be taken into account that a driver who neglects to check the health of his car will sooner or later still receive a fine for not having an OSAGO policy. After all, without a technical inspection, the driver will not be able to issue insurance.
Until 2012, when inspecting the condition of the car, a special coupon was issued, now a diagnostic card is issued instead of it, the information of which is also entered into an electronic database. To inspect the car, its owner must contact the point technical control, which can be selected on the official website of the Russian Union of Motor Insurers (RSA).
The inspection must be accompanied by the following documents:
- driver's passport - a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- driver's license;
- certificate of state registration of the car.
The technical control point has the right to refuse to provide a car inspection service if its owner has not provided one of the specified documents, as well as if the license plates of the car do not correspond to the registration documents.
It is not necessary to undergo a technical inspection every year to issue a diagnostic card. For example, new cars need to be checked only three years after the start of operation. Annual technical inspection is required only for cars older than 7 years. Vehicles with a mileage of 3 to 7 years can be inspected every two years.
Who can be fined
As of 2019, the absence of a diagnostic card is the basis for issuing a fine only for drivers (owners) of the following vehicles:
- Taxi;
- trucks total weight more than 3.5 tons;
- cars used for driving lessons;
- buses and minibuses with a capacity of 8 passengers;
- special modes of transport equipped with light and sound special signals.
For owners of other cars, the presence of a diagnostic card is mandatory only when applying for an OSAGO insurance policy. But since this type of auto insurance is mandatory, the driver still cannot avoid a fine, because without a diagnostic card, the OSAGO policy will not be issued to him.
The amount of penalties
For taxi drivers, passenger and trucks the fine for driving without a technical inspection in 2019 is 5,000 rubles. In addition, the offender loses driving license for 3 months.
Driver passenger car, who does not have a diagnostic card and, accordingly, an OSAGO policy, will be fined 800 rubles for the lack of insurance.
Why inspection is relevant today
Can I drive without a vehicle inspection if I have insurance? In itself, such a statement of the question is contradictory, since without the provision of a diagnostic card confirming the fact of passing the technical inspection, it is impossible to issue an OSAGO. However, some insurance companies in pursuit of customers turn a blind eye to the driver's lack of necessary documentation.
Given that the traffic police inspector does not check the presence of a diagnostic card, then theoretically it is possible to drive without a passed technical inspection. But that would be against the law.
If a citizen is interested in the question, what is the punishment for driving without technical inspection and insurance, then the answer to it is unequivocal: it is 800 rubles. In addition to this, the taxi driver, passenger bus or the truck will have to say goodbye to the rights for three months and pay a fine of 5,000 rubles for a failed technical inspection.
Payment order
. The application will need to be accompanied by a receipt for payment of the penalty.
Another option for notifying the traffic police about a problem with paying a fine is to file an appeal through the official website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. In many situations, this method of informing is more effective and faster than a written statement.
