When purchasing a vehicle in disrepair after an accident, the buyer thinks about registering a broken car. New owners are required by law to register a car after purchase no later than 10 days. Otherwise, the owner will be fined. However, the registration of emergency vehicles in the traffic police can be difficult. Let's take a closer look at whether it is possible to register a broken car.
Many people buy a car after an accident at a lower price and later restore it. The recovery process usually takes a long time.
The order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "On the procedure for registering vehicles" does not prohibit the registration of broken vehicles. But the main thing is that without valid insurance it is impossible to register a vehicle.
Whether it is possible to register a car after an accident depends on passing the technical inspection. There should be no problems with registration if you managed to pass the inspection and get an insurance policy.
There are several options for registering a broken car:
- Simultaneous purchase and renewal. The problem is that it is problematic to pass a technical inspection on a car in disrepair. This option is possible if the MTPL policy of the previous owner has not yet expired or 3 years have not passed from the date of issue of the car, when MTPL is not required. If the old insurance is still valid, then re-registration is possible. The traffic police officer puts a note in the PTS about the emergency condition of the car, which has a bad effect on the subsequent sale of the car.
- Purchase by general power of attorney. When the car is re-registered only after repair. But, it will not be property and will be listed on the old owner. This is a very risky way. The seller may die, get divorced or owe bailiffs. Then, formally, your transport will be taken away on account of the debt, given to the spouse or divided by the heirs. Also, when selling by proxy, there may be discrepancies with the car - broken body or frame numbers.
- Conclusion of a sales contract with the seller and subsequent registration after restoration. However, when staging, you will have to pay a fine of 1,500 rubles for exceeding the 10-day period.
The seller is obliged to remove the car from the register in connection with the sale. If he indicates the reason for the removal of "disposal", then the new owner will not be able to register it in his name in the future.
Is it possible to register a broken car, but on the go? Certainly. Choosing the option of re-registration along with the purchase, you will need to provide the car for inspection. If the car is not on the move, then with the help of a tow truck to the traffic police. Exit car inspection in Russia is not practiced.
The advantage of registering a car after repair is that the vehicle tax is not charged on the owner. It will start counting only after registration.
In order to find out if the car was involved in an accident, use ours.
Registration rules in 2018 are simple and clear. For this procedure, you must personally visit the traffic police department. You can make an appointment, as well as pay the state fee at a discount, using the public services portal.
According to the administrative code, movement on unregistered transport entails a fine of 500-800 rubles. Repeated violation - the fine will increase to 5 thousand rubles, and sometimes they can deprive the driver of the rights from one to three months.
Documents required for the procedure:
- Application from the owner.
- Citizen's passport.
- Purchase and sale agreement (or other document confirming ownership).
- Documents for cars (PTS, STS).
- Other documents that are available (for license plates, customs documents, recycling, etc.).
OSAGO does not need to be provided, inspectors will see it in the electronic database.
Having collected the necessary package of documents, you are sent to the traffic police. In many cities, traffic police departments have terminals for recording. You must select the option "make an appointment". After that, the item "Registration of the vehicle." Then proceed according to the instructions - select the date and time, enter the requested information.
Having received a ticket in the terminal, you are waiting for a call. You give the employee your documents, in return you receive a receipt for payment of the state duty and an application. After paying the receipt, the traffic police inspectors will conduct an inspection, on the basis of which they will make a decision on the production and draw up the documents.
By registering on the public services portal, you can make an appointment from home and pay the state fee from your bank card. It is not only faster and easier, but also more economical. Government services provide a discount on state duties.
How much does it cost to register a car
The Tax Code of the Russian Federation determines the size of all state duties. The total amount depends on the range of services.
Service rates are as follows:
- registration of vehicles with license plates - 850 r;
- transit numbers - 1,600 rubles;
- new car - 2000 r;
- changes in the technical passport - 350 r;
- registration of any certificate - 350 r;
- registration of STS - 500 rubles.
To register a car, you must submit it for inspection. If the car is out of order, and the owner cannot transport it to the traffic police in any way, you can deliver it on a tow truck or examine it at its location.
However, the organization of an official inspection of a car by a traffic police representative can cause significant difficulties and take a lot of time and effort from the car owner. To solve such problems, call us, our specialists will find a way out, choose the best options for you and do the necessary procedures for you.
If it was possible to show the broken car to the inspector, after inspection, he will make an entry in the vehicle passport (PTS): "The car has significant mechanical damage."
So-called total cars are not subject to registration.
The following vehicles (TC) cannot be registered with the traffic police:
Manufactured in the Russian Federation, including from structural components, additional equipment, spare parts and accessories, or imported into its territory for a period of more than six months without providing documents confirming their certification in the manner prescribed by the legislation of the Russian Federation;
The design of which or the changes made to the design do not meet the requirements of the rules, regulations and standards in force in the Russian Federation in the field of road safety or the information specified in the submitted documents;
If signs of concealment, alteration, destruction of the markings applied to the vehicle by manufacturing organizations, or forgery of the submitted documents, registration plates, inconsistency of the vehicle and numbered units with the information specified in the submitted documents, or registration data, as well as if there is information about the location of the vehicle, numbered units on the wanted list or submitted documents among the lost (stolen);
If there are prohibitions and restrictions on the performance of registration actions imposed in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
What is the best thing to do with a broken car?
Our company will help you get out of the situation “with nothing”, choose the option, as in your case, the most painlessly and profitably get rid of a broken car. Selling for parts or whole? Deregistration or not? These questions will be answered by our experts, call us.
If the repair of an emergency car will cost too much, the car owner faces a dilemma - how is it more profitable or easier to sell a pile of iron. First you need to make a reasonable decision where to store a broken car so that it is not stolen for parts.
The next step: choosing the option to get rid of the pile of iron. One of those options is a quick buyout. The buyer can pick up the car on a call right on the day of the accident, it happens that buyer companies even provide a free tow truck. The buyer will inspect the broken car at the scene of the accident and name his price. It should be understood that due to the urgency, the price proposed by the appraiser is likely to be greatly underestimated.
Another option is to sell your wrecked car for parts. In this case, if a CASCO insurance policy has been issued for the car, the insurance company may reimburse part of its cost. It may well be that the money from the sale of the car for spare parts and insurance payments is enough for a car similar in parameters to a broken one.
You can also sell the car as a whole. Such cars are bought by motorists who are interested in restoring a broken car. This is true in the case of German and Japanese models of the 90s or rare cars. Also, motorists buy emergency cars as a whole in order to use them as donors of spare parts.
Another option is to hand over the car for scrapping. In this case, the seller of a broken car will receive a percentage separately from each unit sold. But it cannot affect the course of sales and prices in any way.
You can also sell the car in parts. To do this, it is recommended to remove the car from the register with the traffic police before the start of the "sale". Read about deregistration of an emergency vehicle. We advise you to indicate in the ad which components and assemblies of the car suffered the most as a result of the accident, and which ones remained unscathed. Selling your wrecked car for parts can be more profitable than other options if you're willing to wait.

The procedure for the sale and purchase and re-registration of cars, effective from September 15, 2013
In connection with the entry into force of the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation N 605 of 08/07/2013, we offer this procedure for the purchase and re-registration.
1) Inspection of a broken car (possible from the photo) and price negotiation.
2) Checking identification numbers for compliance.
3) Check for search and prohibitions.
4) Re-registration under the contract of sale.
We do not offer to issue a power of attorney, since deregistration with the traffic police has now been canceled.
Changing the registration of a car in the traffic police (change of ownership)
After the traffic police removed the "deregistration for sale" procedure, this very deregistration from the previous owner began to occur automatically, when the car was registered with the traffic police, to the new owner.
Registration of an emergency vehicle
To register the car, after the purchase and sale, the new owner is given ten days.
To register a broken or burned-out car, it must first be repaired. Emergency vehicles with serious external damage, or dismantled (no headlight, bumper, fender, etc.) are not registered with the traffic police. Accordingly, the owner must know that while the car is being repaired, it will be listed as his in the traffic police database. Therefore, fines from surveillance cameras will come to his address.
There is a significant nuance here. As a rule, 10 days is not enough to buy all spare parts, pick up paint and completely restore a broken car after even a small accident. Observing all the norms and regulations for repairing, for example, a car broken into the front side member, it will take at least 15 days. It's just work. And you also need to find spare parts, materials and paint at a normal price. On average, it takes about one to two months to restore a car.
One or two months is the real time that the car, after its sale, will be listed in the traffic police for the previous owner, unless, of course, the former owner stops registration, or, as the people say, removes the car from the register.
Termination of registration (deregistration) in connection with the sale
Many salvage car sellers don't want their car to be "hung" on them. To do this, the traffic police has a procedure called "Termination of registration".
The point is this. The owner who sold the car, ON THE ELEVENTH DAY (10 days is given for the new owner to register the car) comes to the traffic police with the ORIGINAL SALES AGREEMENT and submits an application to terminate the registration (deregistration) of the sold car. From this moment on, it will be forbidden to drive this car. When a traffic police inspector stops such a car on the road, the car is delayed, the numbers are removed, and the driver faces a fine, or deprivation of a driver's license.
State registration plates (Numbers)
Without numbers, as it was before, it is impossible to buy or sell a car. If you want to keep your favorite license plates, you need to hand them over to the traffic police for storage and, of course, get new numbers. Only after that it will be possible to sell the car.
Let's say you're a wrecked car buyer. We will figure out how to buy it correctly from a legal point of view. There are several options, each with their pros and cons.
Purchase option and simultaneous re-registration for yourself doesn't quite fit. It is impossible to pass a technical inspection on a faulty car, if the period of the previous inspection at the time of sale has expired or is insufficient for issuing OSAGO. And without a diagnostic inspection card, it is impossible to write out a car insurance policy for a new owner. And without OSAGO it is impossible to re-register a vehicle (TC) in the traffic police. If the old technical inspection is still valid, then it is possible to re-register, but a record of its emergency technical condition will be made in the TCP. Subsequently, such a car will be quite difficult to sell.
The option of purchasing under a general power of attorney with the final re-registration on oneself after the refurbishment can be fraught with pitfalls for both the seller and the buyer. We wrote about the nuances in these articles: and.
Remains the option of buying a car under a contract and re-issuing it after a refurbishment. However, in this case, the clause of the rules that the new owner is obliged to re-register the purchased vehicle within ten days will be violated. The fine for this violation is 1,500 rubles, which will have to be paid during the registration of the car.
It is worth discussing with the seller the condition that the car will not be re-registered within ten days. So that the seller does not worry that the car, which he officially still owns, and which is registered with him according to the traffic police bases, will drive around and collect fines from cameras, you need to do the following. After the expiration of ten days from the date of sale to the MREO traffic police, write an application to terminate the registration of the vehicle in connection with the sale. Attach a copy of the PTS and the sales contract to the application. The main thing is that this statement should indicate the reason - “in connection with the sale”, and not with disposal. If the wording is “in connection with disposal”, then subsequently the car will simply be impossible to register. The buyer and seller can meet and apply for deregistration jointly. The buyer is interested in this, who wants to make sure that the car is not scrapped.
It must be borne in mind that after the termination of the registration of the car, its license plate number and registration certificate (COR) will go to the traffic police database of documents of vehicles that are wanted.
After the car is repaired, it will be necessary to pass a technical inspection, buy an OSAGO policy and re-register the vehicle for yourself. If the traffic police stop the car and find that the prescribed ten-day period has expired, they will issue a fine of 1,500 rubles and seize the license plate and registration certificate. Without license plates, it will be possible to drive only one day.
In the best case, you will be able to get to the places of technical inspection and re-registration of the car without meeting with traffic cops. But all the same, in addition to a fine of one and a half thousand rubles, you will have to add the obligatory purchase of new numbers for a car (2,000 rubles) to the additional costs. Even if the previous license plates, inherited from the previous owner, suit and are in perfect condition. After all, they are wanted in the traffic police database.
An additional advantage of the option of buying a car under a sales contract and re-issuing it only after restoration repairs can be considered that the transport tax from the moment the registration is terminated by the previous owner and until the moment of re-registration to the new owner will not be charged to anyone.
Alexey Poltavsky, Autoclub78
If a citizen has acquired a broken (emergency) car, then it will not be possible to immediately register it. Driving on a heavily damaged vehicle is prohibited, because such actions are contrary to the safety requirements for movement on the roads. In the event of a malfunction, any movement on such a machine is dangerous both for the car owner and passengers, and for other road users. The traffic police will not register such a vehicle in accordance with internal regulations. In what case can a broken or emergency car be registered? How legal is such a vehicle registration? How to register a broken car and what is the procedure for its inspection and registration?
Grounds for refusal
Registration of a car is possible only if the vehicle is provided to an expert for a technical inspection. If there are malfunctions and defects, as well as if it is impossible to transport it to the special site of the traffic police on its own, the car owner must take care of the delivery of the vehicle using the services of a tow truck. Another option is a survey at the location. If the broken car was inspected by a specialist, then a special note is made in the TCP about the presence of significant mechanical damage. Such "total" cars are not registered. The Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1001, as amended on 10/20/2017, clearly indicates the circumstances under which registration of a vehicle cannot be performed.
Registration will not be possible if the design of the vehicle itself contradicts the requirements of Russian standards, regulations and rules that relate to the organization of safe traffic or the data specified in the documentation provided. In addition, they will not be registered if the vehicle was manufactured in Russia from various designs, spare parts and additional mechanisms, or imported into the Russian Federation for a period longer than 6 months without documentation that indicates certification in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
How to register?
Thus, a broken (emergency) car with mechanical damage that prevents safe driving is not subject to registration. As soon as the car is restored, you should get an OSAGO policy, and for this, the insurer must make sure that the vehicle is in full working order. That is, first the car owner must pass a technical inspection and receive a diagnostic card, otherwise it will be impossible to buy a policy. Next, the owner should contact the traffic police department and provide a standard list of documents:
- Passport;
- Statement;
- registration certificate;
- Vehicle registration certificate;
- Check for payment of state duty (2 thousand rubles).
According to the new amendments (10/20/17), vehicle owners should no longer present an OSAGO policy directly to the traffic police. Law enforcement officers independently monitor the availability of a policy in a single insurance database. You must have valid insurance, but you do not need to provide it in paper form. However, in order to avoid misunderstandings and delays, the car owner can take the document for the registration procedure.
Conclusion
Thus, a broken car that cannot move under its own power due to mechanical and other damage will not be registered. Before registering such a car (emergency), the car owner will have to provide it for technical inspection to an expert, and if the diagnosis is successful, registration will be possible after issuing an OSAGO policy. If the diagnostic card is not issued, then the car will not be registered with the traffic police.
