We find out what changes await motorists.
- I heard that serious changes are being prepared in passing the technical inspection, allegedly they want to significantly tighten both the procedure itself and the punishment for the lack of maintenance. What to expect?
Indeed, on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Ministry of Economic Development has prepared a number of amendments to the current legislation. They involve amendments to the law on technical inspection, to the Code of Administrative Offenses, as well as to the Criminal and Criminal Procedure Codes. They are expected to come into force in 2018. However, neither the exact dates for their adoption, nor the documents containing the amendments themselves, we were able to find in the public domain. Therefore, we restored the essence of the innovations according to publications in the federal media (), which stated that they had the necessary documents.
Why did you decide to amend?
In 2012, the inspection of the technical condition of cars was entrusted to private operators (previously, the traffic police was responsible for this). Instead of a technical inspection coupon, they began to issue diagnostic cards, without which it was impossible to obtain an OSAGO policy. Their presence was not verified in any other way. Control over such cards was entrusted to insurers. However, private operators began to issue diagnostic cards not only without actually passing the technical inspection, but also without seeing the car “in person” at all.
The explanatory note cites traffic police data for 2017: in Russia, more than 5.8 thousand accidents occurred due to a technical malfunction of cars, which is 18.5% more than in the same period a year earlier.
What changes are planned to be introduced?
For example, it is proposed to supplement the Code of Administrative Offenses with a fine for driving a car that has not passed MOT, from 500 to 800 rubles, and in case of a repeated violation, a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of 1 to 3 months.
At the same time, the traffic police will be able to check the fact of a violation without even stopping the car: for this, it is proposed to use traffic cameras, with the help of which the car will be checked according to the Unified Automated Information System for Technical Inspection (EAISTO).
If it is determined that the accident was due to a technical malfunction of the car that did not pass the inspection, the insurance company will be able to file a recourse claim. (that is, a reverse demand for the return of a sum of money - ed.) to the car owner. The Ministry of Economic Development believes that this will “increase the level of motivation” for passing technical inspection.
The new amendments also spell out the basic requirements for transport and the verification procedure. So, cars with headlights of which films are pasted or drawings of any size are applied will not be able to pass the inspection. This also includes a blackout film, and complete painting of the headlights with paint of any transparency. Any changes that are not provided by the manufacturer will become an obstacle in obtaining a positive opinion.
By the way, the changes have already affected the design of the diagnostic card. Previously, it contained a 21-character number, but from January 1, 2018, the number of characters decreased to 15. At the same time, previously issued cards will be valid until the expiration date.
In addition, two versions of the diagnostic card will now operate: paper and electronic.
What will change for operators conducting inspections?
For them, control will be greatly tightened. Thus, the Ministry of Economic Development plans to eliminate situations when a diagnostic card is issued for a car that did not come to the inspection point.
So, for example, issuing a diagnostic card without actually passing a technical inspection will threaten the employee who issued it with a fine in the amount of 10 to 30 thousand rubles. If it turns out that the data was "knowingly unreliable" and transferred to the database "intentionally", the employee will face a punishment in the form of forced labor for up to 4 years. And if the act is committed by a “group of persons by prior agreement”, then a prison term of up to two years can be imposed. They can also be imprisoned for 4 years if such actions of the inspection staff led to “serious consequences” (for example, an accident occurred involving a car that did not pass inspection).
At the same time, it is assumed that the inspection process will be recorded on a video or photo camera, and the data will be “immediately” uploaded to the EAISTO database. At the same time, the registration number of the car, the date, the point of inspection and the progress of the check must be recorded on the record.
However, experts and motorists are skeptical about this moment. In particular, the fact that this data will need to be stored somewhere, and this requires powerful servers, raises the most questions. This entails many organizational issues and financial costs, and the 186 million allocated from the budget will clearly not be enough for this. At the moment, this issue has not been fully resolved.
For owners of points that illegally issue diagnostic cards, punishment is also provided - a fine in the amount of 100 to 300 thousand rubles.
Previously, control over the activities of technical inspection operators was assigned to the Russian Union of Motor Insurers (RSA), but now these powers are transferred to Rostransnadzor. This means that inspection points will be periodically checked.
How often will an inspection be required?
The frequency of inspection will also be adjusted:
for cars under three years old, the procedure is not required at all;
cars aged 3 to 7 years must undergo an inspection every two years;
for machines older than 7 years, the inspection must be carried out annually.
It will be possible to pass technical inspection not only at the place of registration of the car, but also in any other region of the country. For people who are often on long business trips or forced trips, this is good news.
How much will an inspection cost?
As of today, the cost of technical inspection will not depend on the year of manufacture of the car. Thus, the cost of a diagnostic card for a Class B passenger car in any region should not exceed 800 rubles; technical inspection of motor vehicles - up to 240 rubles; Maintenance of trailers, depending on the model - from 600 to 1050 rubles; maintenance of passenger transport - from 1290 to 1560 rubles; TO trucks - from 770 to 1630 rubles. At the same time, it is noted that the state duty is already included in this cost and you will not have to pay it separately.
Chairman of the Russian Motorists Movement Viktor Pokhmelkin, whom Kommersant believes that these measures will not help eradicate corruption in the field of maintenance:
- Technical inspection does not make sense, it does not give anything to anyone, except for those who make money on it. The driver is responsible for the condition of the car, this is stated in the traffic rules. It's easier to exclude maintenance altogether, leaving it mandatory only for buses and trucks.
The same opinion is shared by the head of the Federation of Russian Car Owners Sergey Kanaev, whose words are "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". He is convinced that the mandatory state regulation of technical inspection should be left only for cargo and passenger transportation, and for individuals this is not advisable. In 2017, traffic accidents due to technical malfunctions of cars accounted for only 0.36% of the total number of accidents. According to Sergei, this is comparable to a mathematical error.
Most likely, these amendments will be finalized. So, for example, the possibility of a recourse claim against the car owner is still being discussed, since it has not yet “found support” from all interested parties.
Changes in the inspection in 2019, the latest news, the timing and cost of inspection...
From January 1, 2019, the inspection fee will increase in several subjects of Russia at once. See the current size of the state duty for technical inspection.
Finally, Main Directorate for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation how to undergo technical inspection for vehicles with gas equipment and vehicles with changes made to the design.
Emphasis will be placed on the quality of the procedure. Since you won’t surprise anyone today that it’s easy to get a technical inspection document without passing it.
The main changes in the technical inspection of 2019
Innovations have tightened the procedure for passing technical inspection. The procedure itself has become more regulated.
The main criteria are determined, violating which, you will receive a refusal or simply will not be admitted to MOT:
Car owners who have glued a film on the headlights or applied some kind of drawing (even the smallest one) will be denied a technical inspection. This also applies to those who tint the car's optics, stick a tinted film or cover the headlights with paint of any transparency.
If even the smallest design changes were made in the car, which are not provided by the manufacturer, this will be a reason for refusal.
This item will include any changes, both the lack of some structural elements, and their redundancy. In order for you to be denied a technical inspection, it will be enough to remove the washer reservoir or window regulator.
If you have an unregistered gas cylinder in the car, you will also not be allowed to MOT.
Regarding the diagnostic card, motorists are also expected to change here. Since 2019, the serial number of the card has been reduced to 15 characters. Owners of old cards should not rush to throw them away, because they will be valid until the end of the set period.
Another innovation will be that the diagnostic card will exist in two variations - in paper form (familiar to everyone) and in electronic form.
Tires with anti-skid studs, if used, must be fitted on all wheels.
The vehicle must be equipped with: first aid kit, fire extinguisher, warning triangle.
Inspection cost
Tariffs for a diagnostic card (technical inspection) do not depend on the brand or year of manufacture of the vehicle, but they are set by each region separately and the cost of technical inspection in 2019 increased immediately.
To date, the maximum cost of technical inspection of a car is 1099 rubles.
Not a single federal district of the Russian Federation has the right to raise tariffs above this amount established by the government.
In most regions, the maximum threshold is 720 rubles, and in some areas it is lower.
The average price of the service for motor vehicles is 240 rubles.
The cost of diagnostics of trailers depends on their weight, category:
- Up to 0.75 t (O1) - 600 rubles;
- Up to 3.5 tons (O2) - 600 rubles;
- From 3.5 to 10 tons (O3) - 1050 rubles;
- From 10 tons (O4) - 1050 rubles.
Inspection by a technical expert of vehicles used for passenger transportation costs:
- 1290 r. for cars up to 5 tons;
- 1560 r. for cars over 5 tons.
Diagnostics of category N trucks is priced at the following rates:
- less than 3.5 tons - 770 rubles;
- from 3.5 to 12 tons - 1510 rubles;
- more than 12 tons - 1630 rubles.

Frequency of passage
The 2019 inspection dates have not changed:
- vehicles under the age of three do not need to undergo MOT;
- for vehicles whose age is from 3 to 7 years - once every 2 years;
- Vehicles older than 7 years must undergo an annual inspection.
Place of passage
In 2019, there is no need to pass an inspection in the city where the car is registered. Now maintenance can be carried out in any locality in Russia.
Recording the inspection procedure
According to the latest data, there will be NO recording of the inspection procedure!
The deputies rejected this amendment to the law on technical inspection.
It was decided to confine ourselves to photographing the car before and after the technical inspection.
Supervisory authorities responsible for inspection
In 2019, the inspection will be controlled by Rostransnadzor.
In connection with the transfer of control to a new department, the procedure for passing a technical inspection will be tightened, which in turn will make the procedure of “formal” MOT passing almost impossible.
Sanctions have also become tougher. for those who sell diagnostic cards. The fine will be 100,000 rubles.
Another measure is added to this fine - deprivation of the accreditation certificate. Thus, the offender will no longer be able to engage in their previous activities.
Penalty in the absence of technical inspection
The innovations of the technical inspection of 2019 are different in that today they can check the fact of passing the MOT right on the road, which was previously illegal. And now, those who do not have a technical inspection must necessarily pay a fine in the amount of 500 to 800 rubles.
It seems to me that the new amendments to the law on technical inspection will not only complicate the life of ordinary car owners, but also lead to the flourishing of corruption, because the more complicated the procedure, the more expensive the rate will be!
What do you think about tightening the inspection procedure. Share your opinion in the comments.
The reforms in the country touched almost all structures, and citizens of all categories could feel it. The reformist innovations did not pass by the owners of vehicles, who learned about the change in the procedure for passing technical inspection from January 2018. 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 inspections of the technical condition of the machines.
The procedure will become mandatory for those who use vehicles manufactured more than 3 years ago, that is, until January 1, 2015. In addition to the fact that the main car owners will need to undergo MOT, the emphasis is also on the quality of this check, since it is no secret to anyone that in some cases a document on passing could be obtained even without inspecting the vehicle.
The project, which proposes a number of amendments, was proposed by the Ministry of Transport of Russia in the fourth quarter of 2017. After a series of revisions, some of the amendments were approved and some were rejected.
Most of the adopted innovations tighten 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.
The basic requirements for transport and the verification procedure itself are prescribed:
- So, now those car owners who have installed films on their 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 cars, blackout film, complete painting of the headlights with paint of any transparency.
- The slightest design changes that are not provided by the manufacturer will become an obstacle to passing the technical inspection. This includes any design inconsistencies, both missing and redundant. Even the absence of a windshield wiper or washer reservoir can serve as a reason for failure.
- The same situation develops with unregistered gas-balloon 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 maintenance diagnostic card - paper and electronic version.
The new requirements came into effect in 2018.
Transfer of jurisdiction
In past years, the conduct and control of technical inspection was entrusted to the Russian Union of Motor 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 led to the issuance of diagnostic cards without carrying out a normal check of the technical condition of the machines.
For this reason, the transfer of control over maintenance under the jurisdiction of Rostransnadzor was initiated. This means that its authorities will conduct periodic inspections of the points of provision of technical inspection services.
The sanctions against those who illegally trade in diagnostic cards have also become aggravated: the fine for the owners of such points rises to 100 thousand rubles. Another measure of punishment that will be applied in conjunction with penalties is the deprivation of an accreditation certificate. This means that the offender will no longer be able to engage in this type of activity.
Periodicity
The terms and frequency of maintenance are also adjusted:
- for cars under 3 years old, the procedure is not necessary;
- vehicles from 3 to 7 years old - MOT every 2 years;
- cars older than 7 years - annual inspection.
That is, in 2018, cars manufactured from 2011 to 2014 will have to undergo mandatory maintenance. The next procedure for them will take place in 2020. For cars manufactured before 2011, the inspection will need to be carried out annually.
Actual confirmation of maintenance
In order to make sure that the procedure was carried out properly, the process of inspection and testing of the machines will be recorded by recording on digital media.
The following moments must be recorded on the video:
- transport license plate;
- date (day, month, year);
- point of technical inspection (point address, certificate of accreditation);
- check progress.
This requirement has caused a lot of controversy, but for both parties it has positive aspects, since in disputable situations, data can be provided to an arbitration disinterested party to determine the correctness.
Questions arise on the technical side, since a powerful server is required 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 solutions have not been fully settled.
Place of passage
Very good news for all vehicle owners is that you do not need to go to the place of registration of the car to pass the technical inspection. Now the procedure can be carried out in any region of the federation.
If earlier for people who were on long business trips or on forced trips, this was a problem, at the moment it has been solved.
The cost of a diagnostic card
The cost of passing the technical inspection will not depend on the prescription of the car. The price of a diagnostic card for a Class B passenger car in any of the regions of Russia cannot exceed 800 rubles.
For motor transport you need to pay less - up to 240 rubles. Trailers, depending on the model, up to 0.75 tons - 600 rubles, 3.5 - 10 tons - 1050 rubles.
For passenger transport - from 1290 to 1560 rubles. For truck drivers, inspection will cost 770 - 1630 rubles.
This price already includes the state duty, it is not paid separately.
Penalty for lack of maintenance
Now the certificate of passing the technical inspection will be able to check on the roads. Previously, this document was checked only with taxi drivers, truck drivers transporting people, and drivers of special vehicles for transporting dangerous goods and bus drivers.
The changes introduced since 2018 directly relate to this issue, since fines will now be provided for the lack of maintenance for drivers of all categories. If the owner of the vehicle fails to present the diagnostic card to an authorized person, this will be the basis for a fine of 500 to 800 rubles.
The government believes that all the innovations and changes regarding technical inspection will be able to make adjustments and bring TO as close as possible to its original function, eliminating various frauds.
Video about innovation:
As the name implies, a technical inspection is an inspection of the technical side of the car. It allows you to identify shortcomings in the operation of the machine, which is very important for every driver.
On a mandatory basis, car maintenance must be carried out by drivers of taxis, buses, as well as those carrying out. Dangerous goods are goods that are flammable, toxic, poisonous, explosive. Each driver of such a car, who has passed the mandatory technical inspection, has a diagnostic card with him.
For all other car owners, a technical inspection is required to obtain a compulsory OSAGO insurance policy. If the car is new and manufactured no more than three years ago, then MOT is not required before obtaining 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 to you. This will help you to always be aware of new changes, and not get into trouble because of your ignorance.
The new inspection rules, which came into force in 2011, state the abolition of previously used coupons for passing inspection, and replacing them with new diagnostic cards. , again, as the name implies, is a map that contains the results of a technical diagnostic of a car. It indicates whether your car is suitable for safe use on the roads.
If you fail to pass the inspection satisfactorily, you will have 20 days to correct the problem.
If the owner of the car has changed, then it is not necessary 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 deals with the technical inspection of vehicles, while paying a state duty.
Where to pass the inspection in 2019?
You need to pay due attention to the process of passing MOT, because if you pass it in an unaccredited place, then you will waste your money, time, and you will also have to go through the inspection again. Therefore, if you hear that somewhere they do maintenance quickly and efficiently, do not rush to drive the car there. First, check if this company can carry out technical inspection.
Well, firstly, the new rules for passing technical inspection exclude the former binding of the choice of 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 work and maintenance is similar everywhere. But you should not contact the first and nearest company, initially use our advice to choose such a company.
- Make sure the company is accredited for the relevant service. To do this, you can go to the company's website or ask in person for a document confirming accreditation.
- Make sure that this company has a positive place in the ratings of your city according to the reviews of its customers.
- Find out how long the review will take. By law, this procedure should be around half an hour.
Car maintenance procedure
The Internet has become an integral part of every person's life, in some respects it can significantly reduce time costs. For example, in 2019, through the official website of the State Services, you can sign up for an inspection online. If you are not a supporter of this recording option, then you can personally come to the company and make an appointment there.
Required documents
“What do you need to pass the technical inspection, except for 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 papers include:
- passport of the Russian Federation of the driver of the car;
- vehicle passport or certificate of its registration;
- if a trustee comes to the inspection, then there must be a certified power of attorney.
Federal Law No. 170 states that the head of the executive branch of the entity in which you live sets the maximum cost for an inspection. Therefore, in the legislative base of the subject, you need to find a law that states this rule.
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 without VAT.
Periodicity of technical inspection
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:
- Cars (up to 3 years from the date of issue) are exempt from inspection until the 4th year from the date of issue.
- Taxis, buses, as well as vehicles carrying dangerous goods are required to undergo technical inspection every six months.
- Cars over 7 years old (cars, trucks weighing up to 3.5 tons, and motor vehicles) are required to undergo MOT once a year.
- Vehicles aged 3 to 7 years (cars, trucks weighing up to 3.5 tons, and motor vehicles) are required to be inspected every two years.
Penalty for lack of maintenance of the car
An administrative penalty can only be imposed on drivers of those vehicles that are required to undergo maintenance by law (taxi, buses, vehicles carrying dangerous goods). The rest of the owners of the cars are not fined for not passing the technical inspection.
If you are a driver of a taxi, bus or truck carrying dangerous goods, then the administrative fine for 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 actions of the inspector are illegal.
Conclusion
For the competent use of your vehicle, it is necessary, in accordance with the requirements of the legislation, to carry out a technical inspection in the 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 Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On Amendments to the Rules for the Technical Inspection of Vehicles” was created. This resolution refers to new requirements for motorists.
