Car inspection new rules in the year. New rules for civil liability insurance and technical inspection. Where can you go through the vehicle inspection

In Russia, they again proposed to change the rules for passing technical inspection: the Ministry of Internal Affairs proposed to refuse to inspect cars with spare parts replaced without documentation. According to the draft of the relevant document, if the numbers of the components of the machine do not correspond to the data provided, the operator of the vehicle inspection will refuse to provide the services to the applicant.

New Penalty for Failed MOT in 2019 and New Vehicle Inspection System

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has proposed to ban vehicles with modified components from undergoing technical inspection. All of them must correspond to those specified in the documents.

In accordance with the document of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is published on the portal of draft regulatory legal acts, the operator of the technical inspection before starting it must verify the numbers of the body, frame, cab, chassis of the vehicle and verify them with the data that is in the document.

If the numbers do not match, he refuses the service to the applicant and makes a corresponding entry in the unified information system.

"Rossiyskaya Gazeta", with reference to the traffic police, indicates that similar requirements were in the previous rules for conducting technical inspection, but they were not clearly described there. At the same time, the innovation applies, among other things, to those drivers who replaced the components of the car after the accident, but forgot to enter them in the registration documents.

Earlier, the State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill aimed at improving the technical inspection system. We are talking about the introduction of photo and video recording of this procedure. The government believes that this step will help to combat fraud with diagnostic cards and the sale of these documents without the actual inspection.

New vehicle inspection system in Russia

A new technical inspection system is being created in Russia, which will be tied to mileage and accidents, Kommersant writes with reference to Boris Ionov, a representative of the Electronic Passport company.

It is noted that an "individual program" is offered for technical inspection of cars. based:

• characteristics of the machine,
• features of operation,
• accident data,
• insurance cases,
• recall campaigns
• and mileage.

Will be formed :

• either " good»A story implying cheaper and less frequent inspections,
• either " bad", Which will entail more thorough and expensive maintenance.

However, according to Ionov, such changes may take several years, since, first, it is necessary to create the appropriate conditions, and a certain history of cars should accumulate in the EPTS system.

Inspection in Russia

This is not the first change in vehicle inspection rules over the past year.

In February 2018, the government tightened the procedure for its implementation.... So, now, in addition to the warning triangle, the driver must show a first-aid kit. In addition, it is forbidden to operate the machine if the power steering is damaged or defective.

If the driver uses studded tires, then it must be installed on all four wheels of the car. The new rules prohibit the installation of colorless or tinted optical parts and the adhesion of films to the headlights, as well as the dismantling of factory-provided wipers and washers.

The rules changed again at the beginning of May 2018... Previously, the driver was not issued a diagnostic card if the car did not meet at least one of the mandatory safety requirements. After the innovations, any car can receive the document, but with an indication of the violations.

In August 2018, the government approved bills to improve the vehicle inspection system... It is proposed to introduce photo and video recording of the vehicle inspection. Diagnostic cards are supposed to be issued in the form of an electronic document with an electronic signature of the technical expert who performed the diagnostics.

Read about all the changes in the inspection rules over the past year in our review below.

The procedure has changed in Russia since May 4, 2018 passing vehicle inspection.

Reforms in the country affected almost all structures and citizens of all categories could feel it. Reform innovations did not pass by the owners of vehicles, who learned about the change in the procedure. passing technical inspection from May 4 2018 of the year... This measure is due to the fact that the level of accidents is constantly growing, and one of their main reasons is the lack of checks on the technical condition of machines.

The procedure will become mandatory for those who use vehicles manufactured more than 3 years ago, that is, before January 1, 2015. In addition to the fact that maintenance will need to be passed by the main car owners, the emphasis is also placed on the quality of this check, since it is no secret to anyone that in some cases a document on the passage could be obtained even without inspecting the vehicle.

The main changes in the procedure for passing the technical inspection in 2019

Most of the adopted innovations toughen the general requirements and make the course of the procedure more regulated. Inspection will affect not only cars, but also a variety of trailers, motor vehicles, buses, etc.

Earlier, if at undergoing technical inspection, car did not meet at least one of the mandatory safety requirements, diagnostic card he was not given. Now this document can be obtained by any car, but with an indication of inappropriate requirements in the card.

Accordingly, the conditions for punishing unscrupulous operators technical inspection .

The previous version of the law introduced liability for issuing diagnostic cards owners of faulty vehicles. Now it is specifically stipulated that operators will be punished for issuing a card with a positive verdict, provided that the vehicle does not meet safety requirements.

The basic requirements for transport and the verification procedure itself are prescribed:

• So, now those car owners who have installed films on the headlights or applied drawings of any size will not be able to get a positive conclusion. This also includes tinting on the optical structures of machines, a film of darkening, full painting of the headlight with paint of any transparency.

• In addition, no leakage of working fluid in the hydraulic system of the power steering is allowed.
• In addition to the emergency stop sign, an examination of the first-aid kit is mandatory.
• The slightest design changes that are not provided by the manufacturer will become an obstacle to passing the inspection. This includes any design inconsistencies, either missing or redundant. Even the absence of a wiper or washer reservoir can serve as a reason for refusal.
• The same situation is developing with unregistered LPG installations.
• The changes also affected the design of the diagnostic card. Until 2018, it contained a 21-digit number, but from January 1, the number of characters in the code is reduced to 15. Cards issued earlier continue to be valid until the expiration date.
• Now there will be 2 types of TO diagnostic card - paper and electronic versions.

Transfer of jurisdiction

In past years, the conduct and control of the technical inspection was entrusted to the Russian Union of Auto Insurers (RSA). The check of the coupon during the operation of the vehicle was not carried out, but it was a necessary condition for issuing an OSAGO policy. This resulted in the issuance diagnostic cards without carrying out a normal check of the technical condition of the machines.

For this reason, the transfer of maintenance control to the jurisdiction of Rostransnadzor was initiated. This means that its authorities will conduct periodic inspections of the points of the provision of technical inspection services.

The sanctions against those who illegally trade in diagnostic cards have also worsened:

• If the expert has formed a map and allowed a car that has not passed the technical inspection to move, he will be fined up to 10 thousand rubles.
• If it turns out that the employee deliberately transferred deliberately false information to the central database, then he can be brought to criminal responsibility. Thus, an expert can be punished with forced labor for up to four years.
• In the event that the act was committed by a "group of persons in a preliminary conspiracy", a prison term of up to two years may be imposed. The corresponding norms will be introduced into the Criminal Code.
• The fine for the owners of such points rises to 100 thousand rubles.
• Another punishment that will be applied in conjunction with penalties is the revocation of the accreditation certificate. This means that the offender will no longer be able to engage in this type of activity.

Periodicity

The timing and frequency of maintenance have also been adjusted:

• for a car under 3 years old, the procedure is not necessary;
• vehicles from 3 to 7 years - maintenance every 2 years;
• cars over 7 years old - annual inspection.

That is, in 2018, cars produced from 2011 to 2014 will have to undergo mandatory maintenance. The next procedure for them will take place in 2020. For cars manufactured earlier than 2011, the check will need to be carried out annually.

Actual confirmation of maintenance

In order to ensure that the procedure is carried out properly, the process of inspection and testing of machines will be recorded by means of recording on digital media.

The following moments must be recorded on the video:

• transport license plate;
• date (day, month, year);
• inspection point (address of the point, certificate of accreditation);
• check progress.

This requirement caused a lot of controversy, but for both parties there are positive aspects in it, since in disputable situations, the data can be provided to an uninterested arbitration party to establish correctness.

Questions arise on the technical side, since a powerful server is needed to store such a quantity of digital information in a single database, which will entail a huge number of organizational issues and financial costs. At the moment, the solution has not been fully settled.

Place of passing technical inspection

Very good news for all vehicle owners is that for passing technical inspection no need to go to the place of registration of the car. Now the procedure can be carried out in any region of the Russian Federation.

If earlier this was a problem for people who were on long business trips or on forced trips, now it has been resolved.

Diagnostic card cost

Price passing technical inspection will not depend on the age of the vehicle.

• The price of a diagnostic card for a class "B" passenger car in any of the regions of Russia cannot exceed 800 rbl.
• You need to pay less for motor vehicles - up to 240 rbl.
• Trailers depending on the model up to 0.75 t - 600 rubles., 3.5 - 10 t - 1050 rubles.
• For passenger transport - from 1290 to 1560 rubles.
• For truck drivers, the inspection will cost 770 - 1630 rubles.

This price already includes the state duty, it is not paid separately.

Penalty for not passed inspection

Let's start with the fact that without MOT you cannot insure your car. When the car stops on the road, the inspector requires the presentation of the MTPL.

• The lack of a policy leads to responsibility, even if the driver simply forgot it at home.
• Accordingly, in any case, the driver will have to undergo maintenance annually, despite the fact that the inspector does not look at the diagnostic card. This is due to the fact that driving without technical inspection, but with insurance, is impossible.
• Insurance company specialists require a specific package of documentation, which includes a diagnostic card. Without it, you simply will not be able to get insurance.

However, if we consider, for example, buses, they must undergo maintenance every six months, the inspector will definitely ask for a diagnostic card. After all, the driver has no right to risk people's lives and go on a route in a faulty car.

If a traffic police officer discovers that there is no technical inspection, the driver will be punished.

The amount of the fine for technical inspection can be:

• 500 rubles - for forgotten or lost;
• 800 rubles - if you have not gone through MOT.

Also, the driver will not be able to drive the vehicle further. He will most likely be sent to a fine parking lot. The inspector will not allow the movement of a potentially faulty vehicle on the road. If the violation is repeated, the guilty person will be fined already 5 thousand rubles and additionally may be deprived of the right to drive a car for up to 3 months.

It turns out that only persons who drive passenger taxis, buses and trucks carrying people from eight people are actually fined.

The inspector will not force drivers of other vehicles to present a diagnostic card for maintenance. It is enough to show the insurance policy.

Sometimes motorists are interested in how much they can drive without a technical inspection.

• If the car has just been bought, then the driver is given ten days to register it.
• This includes the passage of MOT, if it is not there, the purchase of OSAGO and the registration of the car. All three procedures are interconnected.

As for the frequency of passing inspections, it is recommended to pass them within the time limit established by law. First of all, when the inspection is overdue, it cannot ensure the safety of the driver himself and other road users.

The amount of fines for the lack of compulsory motor third party liability insurance in 2019

According to the current legislation, the absence of OSAGO is punishable by the following fines:

1. If the car owner has no insurance at all, a fine of 800 rubles is imposed on him. For timely payment within 20 days, a 50% discount is provided, and the penalty in this case is 400 rubles.
2. If the driver has an expired OSAGO policy with him or presents a document drawn up without taking into account legislative norms, a sanction of 500 rubles is imposed on him.
3. If the car owner cannot present the declared document right on the spot, a fine of 500 rubles will be imposed on him. Another option provided by law is an official warning.
4. If the driver is not included in the OSAGO, a sanction of 500 rubles is imposed on him.

What to do when buying a used car?

• If a person has just bought a car, and the term for the next MOT has not come yet, he does not need to waste time and money again.
• But as soon as the deadline is right, the assessment is made from scratch.
• If the car has tuning elements or design changes are made, this can lead to problems. Even if the old owner has successfully passed MOT (before making changes to the rules).

The traffic police returns to the inspection

The government has submitted to the State Duma a bill envisaging a large-scale reform of vehicle inspection.

The main goal is to exclude the practice of buying maintenance documents by drivers without providing a car for inspection. Violators-car owners will be fined 2 thousand rubles. Maintenance operators will be obliged to use an electronic signature and record the verification process on video, transmitting data to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For violation they face criminal liability. At the same time, the traffic police will again control the work of operators, having lost this right six years ago.

Government bills submitted to the State Duma are amending several laws. In Art. 12.15 of the Administrative Code will establish a new fine for drivers of 2 thousand rubles. for driving a car that has not passed the inspection (recorded by both an inspector and a road camera). At the same time, drivers can be punished no more than once a day. According to the amendments to the law "On MTPL", if a driver whose diagnostic card has expired has got into an accident and it is established that the accident was due to a car malfunction, the insurer will be able to file a recourse claim against him.

The inspection procedure will be filmed: materials indicating the time of maintenance will be immediately transferred to a unified technical inspection database (UAIS TO; under the jurisdiction of the traffic police). In case of power outages or Internet connection, the operator must draw up an appropriate act and transfer the data within 24 hours. Access to the UAIS TO will be allowed only through the electronic qualified signature of the operator. The diagnostic card based on the results of the technical inspection will be issued only in electronic form, the paper version is a thing of the past. For issuing a card for a car that did not come for inspection, a fine of up to 20 thousand rubles is introduced into the Code of Administrative Offenses. for officials and up to 500 thousand rubles - for legal entities. For the conduct of a technical inspection by a company that does not have accreditation, liability is introduced under Art. 171 of the Criminal Code "Illegal Business" (the maximum penalty is imprisonment for up to five years).

The operators will be accredited by the Russian Union of Auto Insurers (RSA). But the work of operators will be controlled by the traffic police, although in the first version of the bill (Kommersant told about it at the beginning of the year), this function was planned to be transferred to Rostransnadzor. The State Traffic Inspectorate will conduct unscheduled inspections based on complaints from car owners or at the request of the prosecutor's office.

The bill, said in the explanatory note, is aimed at counteracting the "practice of mass issuance of diagnostic cards without actually carrying out the inspection procedure." The practice of buying a vehicle inspection, we recall, has a rich history. Until 2012, motorists received maintenance coupons for bribes to traffic police officers. To eradicate corruption, by the decision of Dmitry Medvedev (then the President of the Russian Federation), control over maintenance was transferred to insurers, the coupon was replaced with a diagnostic card.

But they also began to be sold together with OSAGO policies, and at a price significantly lower than coupons. 80% of car owners, according to experts, do not pass the vehicle inspection. It is curious that the traffic police is now returning control over maintenance by the decision of the same Dmitry Medvedev, but already in the rank of prime minister.

The chances of illegally obtaining a technical inspection will be minimized, Sergei Efremov, Deputy Executive Director of RSA, is sure: "It is practically unrealistic to fake video filming and unauthorized use of an electronic signature." Mr. Efremov supported the idea of ​​regaining control over the traffic police operators. "The State Traffic Inspectorate has more experience in this area, the interaction between RSA and the traffic police has been established for a long time," he says. "Of course, there are risks of a shortage of personnel, because recently the department has experienced a reduction in personnel."

According to Kommersant's information, the State Traffic Inspectorate has no plans to increase the staff of technical supervision staff to work with operators. The general director of the Tehexpert union (an association of operators) Sergey Zaitsev believes that operators should not be accredited by RSA, but by Rosaccreditation or Rostec: “We have already seen what happens when insurers are involved in technical inspection.” He also criticized the rule that routine inspections of operators would be prohibited. "There is hardly anyone who will complain about the operators, which means that they will rarely be checked," says Sergei Zaitsev. "There is a lot of useful information in the bill, but there are also gaps that will not completely eliminate the problem of corruption."

The lawyer of the public movement of motorists "Freedom of choice" Sergei Radko believes that the law will only increase the cost of buying a vehicle inspection. “We already went through this when the traffic police was engaged in technical inspection,” he says. “It was then that coupons were sold right and left, although the procedure was much stricter than what is proposed in the bill.”

Conclusion

The government believes that all innovations and changes related to technical inspection will be able to make adjustments and bring MOT as close as possible to its original function, eliminating various frauds.

As the name suggests, a "vehicle inspection" is an inspection of the technical side of a vehicle. It allows you to identify shortcomings in the operation of the machine, which is very important for every driver.

On an obligatory basis, maintenance of a car must be carried out by taxi drivers, bus drivers, as well as by those carrying out. Dangerous goods are goods that are highly flammable, toxic, poisonous, explosive. Each driver of such a car, who has passed a mandatory technical inspection, has a diagnostic card with him.

For all other car owners, a technical inspection is needed to obtain a compulsory OSAGO insurance policy. If the car is new and released no more than three years ago, then THAT is not needed before getting insurance.

Diagnostic card and its meaning

If you have a car, then auto lawyers recommend checking from time to time the legislation related to fines, new traffic rules, as well as laws on OSAGO and other insurance, if it is relevant for you. This will help you to always be aware of new changes, and not get into trouble because of your ignorance.

The new technical inspection rules, which came into force in 2011, state that the previously used coupons for passing the technical inspection will be canceled and replaced with new diagnostic cards. , again, as the name suggests, is a map that contains the results of a vehicle's technical diagnostics. It indicates whether your car is suitable for safe use on the road.

If you were not able to pass the inspection satisfactorily, then you will have 20 days to troubleshoot.

If the owner of the car has changed, then you do not need to undergo maintenance before the expiration of the diagnostic card. Also, in case of loss or damage to the card, it can be restored upon application to any company that is engaged in technical inspection of transport, while paying a state fee.

Where to get a MOT in 2019?

You need to pay due attention to the process of passing MOT, because if you go through it in an unaccredited place, then you will waste your money, time, and you will have to go through the examination again. Therefore, if you heard that somewhere they are doing MOT quickly and efficiently, do not rush to drive the car there. First, check if this company can do a vehicle inspection.

Well, first of all, the new rules for passing the technical inspection exclude the former binding of the choice of the station at the place of residence of the driver or the registration of his car. Now you can choose any place you like to check the technical qualities of the car. In principle, the process of working and passing MOT is similar everywhere. But you should not contact the first and nearest company, initially use our advice to choose such a company.

1. Make sure the company is accredited for the appropriate service. To do this, you can go to the company's website or ask it personally for a document confirming accreditation.
2. Make sure the company is ranked positively in your city's ratings based on customer reviews.
3. Find out how long the check will take. By law, this procedure should be in the region of half an hour.

The procedure for passing the vehicle maintenance

The Internet has become an integral part of every person's life; in some areas, it can significantly reduce time costs. For example, in 2019, through the official website of the State Services, you can sign up for a vehicle inspection online. If you are not a supporter of this option of recording, then you can personally come to the company and register there.

Required documents

"What do you need to pass the technical inspection, besides the car?" Is a very common question among young drivers. Like any other procedure required by the government, a small list of documents is required to carry out a technical inspection. Only with their presence will your car be accepted for inspection. These securities include:

• passport of the Russian Federation of the driver of the car;
• vehicle passport or certificate of registration;
• if a trusted person comes to the inspection, then there must be a certified power of attorney.

Federal Law No. 170 states that the maximum cost of a vehicle inspection is set by the head of the executive branch of the region in which you live. Therefore, in the legislative framework of the subject, you need to find a law that states this norm.

But the body of this branch of government sets only the maximum price, in each company it will be different. On average, the price for maintenance should not exceed 1,000 rubles excluding VAT.

Inspection frequency

All issues related to the passage of technical inspection are regulated by Federal Law No. 170, and article 15 tells us about the frequency of maintenance:

1. Cars (up to 3 years from the date of their release) are exempt from inspection until the 4th year from the date of their release.
2. Taxis, buses, and vehicles carrying dangerous goods are required to undergo an inspection every six months.
3. Cars over 7 years old (cars, trucks weighing up to 3.5 tons, and motor vehicles) must undergo maintenance once a year.
4. Cars from 3 to 7 years old (cars, trucks weighing up to 3.5 tons, and motor vehicles) must be inspected every two years.

Penalty for lack of vehicle maintenance

An administrative penalty can only be imposed on the drivers of those vehicles that are required to undergo MOT according to the law (taxis, buses, cars carrying dangerous goods). The rest of the car owners are not subject to fines for failure to pass the technical inspection.

If you are a taxi, bus or truck driver transporting dangerous goods, then the administrative fine for the lack of maintenance will be 500 rubles.

Traffic police officers do not have the right to demand your diagnostic card when checking your documents, otherwise the inspector's actions are illegal.

Conclusion

For the competent use of your vehicle, it is necessary, in accordance with the requirements of the law, to carry out a technical inspection in competent organizations and within a certain time frame.

And in conclusion, we will tell you the main and new changes in the field of technical diagnostics of cars: on February 12, 2018, a new Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation "On Amendments to the Rules for Carrying Out Technical Inspection of Vehicles" was created. This decree refers to the new requirements for motorists.

The new rules for passing technical inspection came into force on January 22, 2018, immediately causing a storm of discussions among car owners and specialists. The peculiarity of the innovations lies in the increased requirements for the machines, as well as the complication of the maintenance procedure. Drivers who are expected to be inspected in the future, it is advisable to study the new rules.

First impressions

The new rules for technical inspection of vehicles were reflected in the PP No. 148, signed on February 12, 2018, and entered into force 10 days later. Now a car, even with a minor malfunction (for example, faulty wipers) or when unauthorized changes are made to the MOT design, will not work. The machine must be fully functional. The presence of any leaks or breakdowns leads to a refusal to issue a positive opinion. In addition, it is forbidden to tint the headlights or install lamps in them that are not provided by the manufacturer. There are no penalties for driving without a vehicle inspection (yet), but it will not work to get a CTP policy.

The main purpose of the rules is to increase the level of safety of road users (drivers, pedestrians). The work is carried out by special service stations, which are accredited to solve such problems. During the inspection, they check the car and identify critical malfunctions (if any).

2018 changes in maintenance

The new rules for passing a vehicle inspection have a number of changes that the car owner should be aware of. These amendments are reflected in the Federal Law No. 170 (Article 15).

Power steering wheel (p. 16, ex. 1)

If earlier this node was checked only for the fact of physical damage (deformation, cracks), now a stricter control is planned. If there is a power steering, the latter should work and not leak. The presence of such a defect is a reason to refuse to issue a diagnostic card until repair work is performed. Now this rule also works for two-wheeled vehicles, for which the steering has not been tested at all.

Head light, external lighting (items 19 to 23, ex. 1)

Before the changes were made, the check was carried out only for the fact of the integrity of the headlights. Now they should be clean, serviceable, not tinted or stained. It is allowed to leave only those lighting devices that are approved by the manufacturer. It is also not allowed to remove the devices installed by the factory. If the turn signal is yellow, it is forbidden to change its shade. The headlights must have lamps recommended by the manufacturer. When evaluating lighting devices, service workers are guided not by GOST, but by the norms of the Customs Union.

Windscreen wipers and washers (p. 24, ex. 1)

To pass MOT, the serviceability of the nozzles and wipers is required. It is forbidden to dismantle the washers (if provided by the factory). None of the glass cleaning elements can be removed without permission. In the event of a breakdown, it is recommended to make repairs before starting maintenance.

Studded tires (p. 32, ex. 1)

Previously, there were no regulations for spiked rubber. Here the car owners had a complete "carte blanche". Now, during maintenance, the presence of rubber with spikes on all wheels (and not only on the drive axle) will be monitored.

Gas cylinders (item 36, project 1)

The old rules listed the requirements for a gas system. The fact of tightness, absence of delays, availability of required marks and other nuances was checked. After the entry into force of the new rules, there are no clear requirements, but there is a link to the CU decision. If you plan to inspect a machine with HBO, you need to refer to clause 9.8 of the above rules, where the requirements for such equipment are considered. One of the listed violations is enough to refuse to issue papers. This may be a weak fastening, a violation of documentary registration during installation, an independent alteration of any elements, and so on.

Fire extinguisher and first aid kit (p. 56 and 58, ex. 1)

Previously, when passing MOT, only an emergency stop sign was required. Other elements have been mentioned as optional. Today the service station will also require a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit. Without their presence, a diagnostic card cannot be obtained (as well as an OSAGO policy). A first aid kit is also required for a motorcycle. As for the fire extinguisher, it is not necessary.

Leakage from the checkpoint, engine and other systems (p. 65, ex. 1)

Before the changes were made to the rules, the machine successfully passed MOT if the number of droplets of working fluid in 60 seconds did not exceed 20. Now such problems should be completely eliminated. Regardless of the type of dropping liquid and the frequency of droplets falling, TO cannot pass. It will not work to transfer the costs of repairs, because they will not give a diagnostic card that way. For used cars, repairs can result in a large sum, so it is important to carefully check the vehicle before buying.

Changes, tuning (p. 68, ex. 1)

Previously, car owners had a free hand. They could put on new bumpers, mount body kits, weld on the trunk on top of the car and upgrade the vehicle at will. In case of serviceability of technical systems, the car underwent maintenance. Now the situation has changed. Changes to the design (except for factory solutions) require documentation and safety confirmation. This applies to everything - winches, trunk and other elements. Even if the car was bought with tuning, it will have to be put in order by the new owner.

Diagnostic card

After the introduction of new requirements, changes appeared in the registration form. Some of the wording has undergone changes. The current document is reflected in the rules (it is easy to find it in the appendix under number 3). Now there is no need for printing, and this is not a violation, because the field has disappeared in the updated form. There is only a signature column left. But such a change does not interfere with checking the fact of maintenance, because all the information is available in a common database.

Minibuses (item 69, project 1)

For car owners who carry passengers of 8 people or more, there are also changes in the rules. They are described in detail in the CU regulations (pr. No. 8, section no. 13). Special attention is paid to decals, rust, body color and handrails.

What happens if you ignore THAT?

As noted above, there are no fines for using a car without a vehicle inspection (for category B drivers). The main thing is that there are no problems with the rest of the papers. But there remains a dilemma - it will not work to get OSAGO without the passed MOT. If the inspector discovers the absence of a policy, he has the right to fine the driver in the amount of 800 rubles.

The situation is more serious if the car owner gets into an accident. In this case, he is forced to pay the victim himself and repair his car. In addition, direct reimbursement will be excluded if the other driver is at fault. If the period of TO expired during the period of validity of the MTPL and an accident occurs, there are also difficulties with receiving money. On the one hand, you have an insurance policy on hand, and on the other, you will have to shell out money from your pocket.

What to do when buying a used car?

If a person has just bought a car, and the term for the next MOT has not come yet, he does not need to waste time and money again. But as soon as the deadline is right, the assessment is made from scratch. If the car has tuning elements or design changes are made, this can lead to problems. Even if the old owner has successfully passed MOT (before making changes to the rules).

In Russia, from February 23, 2018, new rules for the technical inspection of vehicles come into force. The changes are not so critical (in fact, a lot is returning to normal), but there are several points that put me on the “soft” side. Well, let's figure it out - what has changed and how to actually behave at a technical inspection station ...

As I think, nothing critical happened, just now some points are being tightened (which, by the way, were earlier, but for some reason they were removed from there). YES, and I would like to say that we will all undergo MAINTENANCE at the same stations (often individuals), that is, the procedure itself was not returned to the bosom of the traffic police (so you can exhale).

The principle itself remains the same - that is, you need to receive a diagnostic card just in order to renew the CTP policy. As usual, you will go to a private service accredited for maintenance.

So what has changed? Let's go in detail point by point:

Now it is impossible to cover the diffusers of lighting devices (it can be seen that we are talking not only about headlights, but also about foglights and taillights) - with colored or transparent film. I tighten many as tuning, others as protection (armor film).

Now it is illegal, you will not pass the inspection.

We have it as usual. If they are damaged and not working, then you will not be able to go through either.

Most likely, there will be experts who will identify leaks, backlashes, knocks, etc. If something came to light, you will need to eliminate

Screen wiper and washer

It is stipulated that it will not be possible to dismantle the windshield wipers or washers preinstalled by the manufacturer. And what is not written, it means everything - the windshield, the headlights, and the rear window. If everything is more or less clear with the washers, you cannot put other other designs (for example, on a VAZ, change the one that sprays in one stream to fan nozzles).

But the point about the "wipers" is not clear! That is, now I will not be able to put others - "non-original" ones on my car? Or let's say I have "frame" ones, but I can't put "frameless" ones? Either here the matter concerns only the fact that it is impossible to remove the wiper at all, as is done, say, on our VAZ 2114 or PRIORA (hatchback) where the hole is welded.

First aid kit and fire extinguisher

Previously, only an emergency sign was required, now, in order to undergo MAINTENANCE IN 2018, you also need a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher (and it is indicated that it must be at least 2 liters). I think this is correct, it can be trivial to cut yourself, but there is no bandage nearby! YES and a fire extinguisher is also a necessary thing, you can react very quickly to a fire.

But what worries me is whether the traffic police inspectors will start checking again for their presence in the car, as it was before. And if they are not there, then a fine?

Unregistered car alterations

These include:

• Gas equipment
• Change in suspension. For example, underestimation, installation

• Iron bumper instead of plastic
• A steering wheel or even a chair from another car

All this is illegal, with such changes you will definitely not pass the MAINTENANCE INSPECTION. If only there is no entry about these changes in the registration certificate of the technical device

Winter tires

Well, and lastly, the control over winter tires is being tightened. They should be on all wheels of your car. That is, now you cannot come in winter on summer tires, or on (remember, winter tires are considered -). Or in the summer for the winter, they will monitor this.

Well, of course, the form for passing the technical inspection will change, where all the above changes will be made. It is worth mentioning that those (old) cards that you have in your hands do not need to be changed, you will receive new ones only with the subsequent passage of TO.

In conclusion, I would like to talk about commercial transport, there are also changes here, although not so interesting for us. For example, the inspection time for buses has been increased by 5-7 minutes, and there are separate standards for specialized vehicles (such as tankers and tow trucks).

As you know, the amendments to the technical inspection, adopted in February 2018, entered into force on May 4. The main feature is that the list of faults has been expanded, according to which the use of a car is prohibited. Read about this and much more in our article.

Porsche at a technical inspection

The most basic fear of Russian motorists was not confirmed - the technical inspection was not transferred back to the "hands" of the traffic police or Rostransnadzor, but was still left with the "private traders". And now, the operator who performed the inspection is responsible for issuing the diagnostic card.

New rules for passing MOT

Taking into account the new amendments that came into force on May 4 of this year, the expert who carried out the examination must issue a diagnostic card. Even if the car does not meet the requirements, the card is still issued, but in conclusion it is indicated that it is impossible to continue to operate. At the same time, if you are stopped by an inspector on a faulty car, you will have to pay a fine.

As for the innovations, they are as follows:

It is forbidden to dismantle the factory washers and wipers. The most strange point seems to be about "wipers", is it really impossible to put non-original or from a different model of brushes? We will wait for clarification.

Mandatory presence of a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. If earlier only an emergency sign was enough, then from May 4, to pass the 2018 technical inspection, they are necessary.

It is forbidden to cover the diffusers of lighting devices with foil, regardless of whether it is transparent or colored. Moreover, the same point applies to those motorists who stick the armored film. However, it is very problematic to prove in practice that the headlights are covered with an armor film.

Armor film on headlights

Changes have also been made to the tires, henceforth it is impossible to use studded on one axle, and on the other the usual "Velcro". All four wheels must have identical tires. It is also forbidden to come to MOT in the winter in the winter, and in the summer in the winter, even if tires suitable for the season are installed on one axle.

The serviceability of the steering boosters will also be checked (of course, this applies only to those cars in which such a unit is structurally provided). Accordingly, it will not be possible to pass MOT if the node is faulty.

In addition, alterations were separately touched upon. If they have not been properly legalized, then the operation is prohibited. The alterations included:

Installed another steering wheel, chair.

Fixed iron bumper instead of plastic and vice versa.

Gas equipment not inscribed.

Changes made to the suspension, for example, installed welds, cut springs ().

If the technical inspection starts to pass according to the rules, then you will no longer see the understated Prior.

Also, soon they plan to introduce a decree to combat illegal receipt of diagnostic cards. That is, now you can pay about 500 rubles to bring your car into the EAISTO database. It is supposed to enter into the database not only an electronic version of the map, but also video evidence that a particular car actually drove in for inspection.

What is a diagnostic card?

This is a document that contains information about the car (VIN code, number, owner), and also indicates the technical opinion of the service operator that issued the card. That is, data is entered on whether or not it is possible to use the vehicle. Two copies are created, and an electronic version for the EAISTO database is additionally issued, under an individual number. One copy is given to the owner, the second is kept for three years by the expert who carried out the inspection.

Diagnostic card

Who needs a diagnostic card?

The validity period of the cards, and, accordingly, the time frame for passing the MOT, are determined by the date of issue of the car. If you rely on article 15, part 2 of the Federal Law No. 170, then individuals who own vehicles (including cargo vehicles up to 3.5 tons), whose age is less than three years, are given the right not to issue a diagnostic card. Otherwise, if the age of such a car is more than three years, obtaining a card is mandatory. Indeed, without MOT, no company will issue you "insurance". In the future, the terms of passage are as follows:

For vehicles issued from three to 7 years ago, with appropriate TP marks, the validity period is two years.

If the age exceeds the seven-year threshold, the validity period of the card is equal to one year.

For those who have not yet expired the old MOT coupon, there is no need to receive a diagnostic card. You will have to change it when you go through MOT again or after the expiration of the previous one.

The terms of the annual maintenance are meant for the following categories (regardless of the year of manufacture):

Trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons.

For special vehicles that are equipped with devices for transmitting sound and light signals.

Vehicles that are designed to teach driving.

Released from the obligatory maintenance and obtaining a diagnostic card, trailers with a carrying capacity of not more than 3.5 tons belonging to individuals. Article 32 of the law on maintenance.

According to article 15, part one, Federal Law (dated 01.07.2011), to undergo maintenance every six months, the following are subject to:

Buses.

Passenger taxis.

Trucks converted to carry more than 8 passengers (excluding the driver's seat).

Special vehicles, including used trailers for the transport of dangerous goods.

At the same time, the right (article 15, part 6) is reserved for absolutely any vehicle owner to undergo MOT at any time, regardless of the time limits specified by law.

Penalties for the lack of a diagnostic card (TO)

As you understand, as such, there are no penalties specifically for the absence of a diagnostic card or non-compliance with the operating rules (for individuals, vehicle owners). Because the traffic police do not even have the right to demand a card from you. A fine will be imposed for the lack of "insurance". Indeed, if you do not have a diagnostic card, no insurance company will sign a contract with you. In fact, for individuals, an insurance policy is to some extent a diagnostic card, in the understanding of the traffic police. Therefore, if it is not there, accordingly, a fine is provided:

800 rubles, if there is no policy at all. It is possible to pay 50% less if it meets the 20-day payment deadline.

500 rubles, for an expired policy or issued in violation.

RUB 500 or a warning if the driver is unable to provide the policy on the spot.

As far as individuals are concerned, we will remind them that "direct" fines for the lack of "technical inspection" were canceled back in 2012, at the same time it was forbidden to demand a card from the driver. But, the fines remained the same (Article 12.1 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation) for:

Passenger taxis.

Buses, trucks (equipped to carry passengers (more than eight seats).

Special vehicles designed, including for the carriage of dangerous goods.

The amount of the fine varies from RUB 500 to RUB 800. Moreover, there is an addition, if the debt is not repaid within two months, the amount will increase proportionally.

Price

Tariffs for maintenance are set by each individual subject of the federation independently. Therefore, the price of the diagnostic card differs not only depending on the type of vehicle, its class, but also on the region. So, the average cost in Russia:

All cars (including taxis), used for no more than eight seats - 700 rubles.

Buses with more than 8 seats and a maximum weight of up to 5 tons - 1290 rubles.

Similar to the previous one, but for buses weighing more than 5 tons - 1560 rubles.

Trucks up to 3.5 tons - 770 rubles.

Trucks from 3.5 to 12 tons - 1510 rubles.

Motor transport - 240 rubles.

The state duty is no longer charged.

What documents will be required?

If you turn to article 18, part 1.2 of the Federal Law, the owner of the vehicle to undergo MOT will need:

RF passport or license (VU).

If MOT is not carried out by the owner, you will need a general power of attorney.

To obtain a diagnostic card, it is imperative to eliminate the existing faults. By the way, when the car is re-examined by an expert, attention is paid only to those details that did not meet the requirements during the first check.
