Rules for obtaining a diagnostic card

Recently, technical inspections have been carried out according to slightly different rules. Many motorists are concerned about this fact and they do not know when to undergo a technical inspection and how. Indeed, amendments to legislative framework A lot has been introduced, so it’s worth understanding them. It is necessary to start with the fact that now traffic police officers do not have the right to directly demand technical inspection. Why then do you need a document such as a diagnostic card?

The fact is that compulsory motor liability insurance is mandatory, and you won’t be able to get a policy without a diagnosis. Insurance services check the diagnostic database using electronic databases where a special code is entered. If the car owner does not have inspection cards, then he will not be given insurance, which is already a violation.

Rule changes

Passing a technical inspection now implies new deadlines. For example, the regulations on when to undergo a technical inspection are changing. Passenger cars and vehicles with trailers up to 3.5 tons can do without a diagnostic card for the first 3 years. If the car is more than 3 years old. In this case, you need to visit a service station every two years. But if 7 years have already passed since the car was released, diagnostics are needed annually.

You will not need to undergo a technical inspection if the car has simply changed its owner. In this case, the data is simply entered into the form without re-diagnosis. And before the expiration of the due date, a vehicle inspection will not be required. If your copy of the diagnostic card is lost, then there is no need to worry - it can be restored literally in one day using the code.

What else do you need to know about the new inspection?

Now passing the technical inspection has been greatly simplified. The fact is that previously you had to go to the traffic police to get checked. The new rules for passing technical inspection mean that the car can be taken to any accredited center. Thus, passing a technical inspection can be carried out not even in your region, but in any convenient location. The rules for passing technical inspection require checking the following details:

1. Tormozov.
2. Steering.
3. Lighting devices.
4. Windshield wipers.
5. Wheels.
6. Engine.

Only professionals can guarantee a quick and high-quality inspection without unnecessary delays. In 2016, as before, it takes into account the operation of safety systems, belts, and windows. The main thing is to choose the right center, which guarantees a technical inspection at the highest level. So you will not only know that in case of an unpleasant situation on the road you will be able to get monetary compensation under insurance, but also receive confirmation of full serviceability vehicle.

The experience of our specialists allows us to check a passenger car in 30-40 minutes on average. A new technical inspection can also take place without the owner of the vehicle - the center’s employees can pick up the car themselves. To pass a technical inspection in 2016, you will need the following documents:

• car owner's passport;
• registration certificate or technical passport.

This is the minimum list dictated by the rules for passing technical inspection. In addition, repeated technical inspection is much easier and requires even less time. It is worth remembering that technical inspection for taxis, passenger buses and special equipment should be carried out every six months, regardless of the age of the model.

Passing a technical inspection is not prerequisite for driving, however, if you do not have an MTPL policy while driving, the traffic police officer has the right to fine you. Therefore, it is worth carrying out a new technical inspection as quickly as possible, especially if you can immediately issue the policy itself.

Technical inspection— a procedure for checking the technical condition of a vehicle, mandatory for all drivers. Currently, passing a technical inspection is required to purchase an MTPL policy.

This article will discuss how to pass a vehicle inspection in 2017.

Is a technical inspection required in 2017?

So, the first question that worries drivers is: “Do I need to undergo a technical inspection in 2017?” A technical inspection is required, but not all cars. Only cars, motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers should not undergo technical inspection, whose age is less than 3 years.

Why is a technical inspection necessary?

Firstly, you need to undergo a technical inspection in order to make sure that your car is safe. During a technical inspection, vehicle malfunctions are identified that the driver can correct in a timely manner.

Secondly, you need to pass a technical inspection for MTPL. Currently, you can buy an MTPL policy only after passing a technical inspection (except for cars that do not require technical inspection).

How often should a vehicle be inspected?

The validity period of a technical inspection for compulsory motor liability insurance depends primarily on the type of vehicle:

Taxis, buses, trucks for transporting people, vehicles for transporting dangerous goods - every 6 months.

Drivers often have a question about whether they need to undergo a technical inspection if the car is 3 years old. In this case, it is necessary to undergo a technical inspection, because otherwise, they will not sell you a compulsory motor liability insurance policy.

Another popular question: “Do I need to undergo a technical inspection for a new car?” If new car belongs to category B, then there is no need to undergo technical inspection in the first 3 years.

How much does a car inspection cost in 2017?

The cost of a technical inspection in 2017 depends not only on the type of vehicle, but also on the region (federal subject) where the inspection procedure is carried out.

For example, the price of a technical inspection passenger car is in the range of 300 - 700 rubles, the cost of technical inspection of trucks is 600 - 1000 rubles. This amount is paid directly to the organization conducting the vehicle inspection through the bank. There is no need to pay additional state duty for technical inspection in 2017.

Therefore, to find out how much a technical inspection costs in your region, I recommend contacting the selected technical inspection operator (call by phone).

You can pay for the technical inspection at a bank branch or through special payment terminals. To do this, you need to select the point where you will undergo a technical inspection and find out its payment details.

Technical inspection points

The next important question is where to get a technical inspection? There are several thousand technical inspection points in Russia. You can select the one closest to your home in the register on the website Russian Union auto insurers:

Enter the name of your city and click the “Find” button. After this, your city will appear on the screen with the technical inspection points marked. For complete information about the technical inspection station, click on the blue mark on the map.

I note that it is currently possible to undergo technical inspection in any subject Russian Federation . Therefore, if you live on the border of two regions, you can choose the point where the technical inspection is cheaper.

Documents for vehicle inspection

In 2017, the following documents are required to pass a technical inspection:

• Identification document (passport or driver's license).
• Power of attorney if the owner of the car is not present for the technical inspection.
• Certificate of registration or PTS (if the car is not registered).

The operator has no right to require additional documents from you.

What is needed to pass the technical inspection?

To successfully pass the inspection, you will need a technically sound car. In this regard, I recommend reading. This document describes what is checked during a technical inspection.

In addition, there are several requirements that require additional attention:

• First aid kit for technical inspection. The first aid kit has a limited expiration date, so before going for an inspection, check to see if it has expired.
• Fire extinguisher. The expiration date of a fire extinguisher for technical inspection is about 5 years and is indicated directly on the body. If necessary, the fire extinguisher must be replaced.

One of the most popular reasons why a car does not pass inspection is crack on windshield . In this case, the crack should be located on half of the driver's glass in the wiper cleaning area. If the crack does not fall into this area, you can pass the technical inspection with it.

Diagnostic inspection card

Based on the results of passing the technical inspection, a diagnostic card. This document is an A4 sheet, filled in on both sides and certified by the signature and seal of the technical inspection operator.

The diagnostic card contains the results of the technical inspection. If everything is in order with the car, you can use the diagnostic card to purchase an MTPL policy. Otherwise, you should eliminate the faults and come back for a technical inspection. Repeated procedure verification requires a separate payment.

If you have doubts about the authenticity of the diagnostic card, you can check the results of the technical inspection using the EAISTO database.

A technical inspection certificate is not issued in 2017.

Fine for lack of technical inspection

A fine for driving without a technical inspection can currently only be imposed on the driver of a passenger taxi, bus or truck intended for transporting people, or a vehicle for transporting dangerous goods. Its size is 500 - 800 rubles.

No fine is imposed on other drivers for lack of technical inspection; in addition, it is not necessary to carry a diagnostic card in the car.

However, without a technical inspection it will not be possible to buy an insurance policy, which will entail a fine for the lack of compulsory motor liability insurance.

Is it possible to buy a diagnostic inspection card?

Some drivers, unsure technical condition of their car, are looking for an opportunity to obtain a technical inspection card without inspecting the car.

I do not exclude that it is indeed possible to buy a technical inspection, but most likely it will be fake. This is due to the fact that when issuing a diagnostic card without an examination, the operator is at great risk. The fine for him for each document issued is 100,000 - 300,000 rubles. In addition, he is responsible in the event of an accident caused by a vehicle malfunction. So it is not profitable for official inspection points to “sell” diagnostic cards.

In practice, scammers most often offer to buy a technical inspection. They print a fake inspection card on A4 sheet, certify it with any stamp and hand it to the driver. A fake card does not pass verification using the EAISTO database, so you will not be able to buy a compulsory motor liability insurance policy using it.

The performance of all systems and what is checked during technical inspection. The topic will be especially useful for novice drivers who have not really learned the car, but are already speeding through the streets. Now he won’t say that everyone always complies with everything, no, far from it and some people just buy maintenance. But now let’s talk about how a car should look when undergoing inspection.

Requirements of a single national standard

What is checked during a technical inspection? The verification process is carried out in two stages: external and internal inspections.

External:

Internal or node performance:

• Checking the exhaust system: remember, if you have a car born before 1986, then you will have a discount when passing in the form of the amount of carbon monoxide. The norm is no more than 4.5%. For everyone else, add the hydrocarbon indicator as well. The test is carried out using a special device called a gas analyzer. If within acceptable limits, move on;
• : here the whole complex is checked according to GOST indications. Let's not get into the numbers; we don't need them. The first part: test on the track, the second - an artificial stand. Let's just say, given the lack of sufficient space, the first point is not fulfilled. Go straight to the second one.
• It is driven onto a stand with rollers and the front, rear, and hand brakes are tested one by one. Sensors on the display indicate the effectiveness of the device and its strength. Absolutely spend 7 minutes, and the results will surprise you with the amount of data.

Subtleties of inspection

The tread must be at least 1.6 mm. depth ( see article" "). Light beam white, turn signals - yellow, rear dimensions in red, like the brake, reverse in white, fog lights in yellow. before the technical inspection is a little pointless.

Tinting must transmit at least 70% of light into the cabin. As for modernization and upgrades, the attitude is twofold, depending on how brazenly it is done. Therefore, if you turn the car back, then do it in moderation if you don’t want to be screwed. Absolutely do not offer a bribe. Yes, and “handicraft” - it’s better to remove it from sin further.

If you present documents from a certified car service center, there will be no problems, since there will be full compliance with the standards (see.
