Technical inspection 2021

Checking the need for maintenance to conclude compulsory motor liability insurance

Year from the date of manufacture of the vehicle
Category

Availability of maintenance

* Not required, because they undergo maintenance more than once a year

We remind you that the dates of technical inspection are considered whole years. That is, for example, if a vehicle of category “C” produced in 2021 is purchased in January 2021, then in order to obtain compulsory motor liability insurance it must first undergo a technical inspection, since 1 year has passed since the year of manufacture.

Technical inspection – checking the technical condition of a vehicle. 2021 has made some adjustments to the inspection process.

Innovations in passing maintenance

Instead of a ticket for passing a technical inspection, there will now be a diagnostic card, which can be obtained at the technical inspection station after passing it. Essentially, this is a document drawn up in the form of a table in which the diagnostic results are entered. This card is certified by the specialist who carried out the maintenance;
The updated technical inspection form is a green card sized 105x74, printed on a computer. It is important that this card contains a 10-digit coupon number;
The changes also affected the frequency of technical diagnostics. First visit - cars that have reached 3 years after release. The second is 5 years. All subsequent visits are 2-7 years apart. If the car is older than 7 years, then an annual inspection is provided for such a vehicle;
Trucks (more than 3.5 tons), vehicles equipped with light and sound signals, and training vehicles are subject to mandatory annual technical inspection;
Another innovation is that all cars supplied to the Russian market from 2021 must be equipped with the ERA-GLONASS emergency warning system;
Maintenance costs have also changed. Now it is determined based on the personal capabilities of the driver and his vehicle. But to exclude overpayments, certain payment standards were introduced: for categories N1 and M1 - 770 and 720 rubles, respectively, O1 - 600 rubles; L – 240 rubles.

What innovations does the technical inspection provide for drivers in the Russian Federation in 2021?

Innovations since 2017 still remain projects that have not been fully approved and accepted at all levels.
The following amendment was planned - to prohibit the sticking of colored and other films on all car lighting devices, their painting and tinting. There is also an intention to introduce a ban on all changes that are not provided for in the design of the machine itself. While such innovations are absolutely necessary, they have not yet been approved. And now they could reduce the risk of DDT, especially at night, when visibility is quite poor. Many accidents could have been avoided now if a ban had been adopted on the installation of uncertified equipment for gas as the main fuel. There is reason to hope that all these and some other amendments and changes will be adopted within a year. The first technical inspection is provided for cars that have reached three years from the moment they left the assembly line. The second visit to the service center is five years. And then - with a difference of two to seven years. If the car's production exceeds seven years, maintenance will be carried out annually. But buses that transport a large number of people must undergo the procedure every six months.

Technical inspection for OSAGO 2021

Starting from 2021, companies that are members of the Techexpert union can carry out vehicle diagnostics. This was done so that companies that issue MTPL insurance policies could check the availability of diagnostic cards after the inspection. Thus, only government organizations can undergo maintenance.

Companies providing compulsory motor liability insurance must offer an electronic policy option, that is, with the ability to fill it out online.

The OSAGO coefficient has changed. After committing 5-9 violations, a coefficient of 1.86 is applied to the motorist. If the driver is not satisfied with the amount charged for damage to the car in an accident, then the motorist has the right to go to court.

How often do you need to have your car serviced?

The maintenance period and the duration of operation of the diagnostic card are affected by the year of manufacture of the vehicle.

The frequency of diagnostics depends on the vehicle class and specific use:

at intervals of two years for a vehicle if it was manufactured 3-7 years ago (the date of manufacture is the date entered in the vehicle’s passport);
after one year for a car that was manufactured more than seven years ago (the year of manufacture is also taken into account);
annually for trucks (capable of carrying loads weighing 3.5 tons), cars with special signals (light and sound), “training” cars that are used in driving schools.

According to clause 1, part 1 of Art. 15 of the Law of July 1, 2011 No. 170-FZ, maintenance every six months is mandatory for:

passenger taxi;
buses;
a truck suitable for passenger transportation, with more than eight seats (the driver’s seat is not taken into account);
special vehicles and their trailers used for the transport of dangerous goods.

This frequency is due to high security requirements for vehicle data.

Important! The vehicle owner can undergo another technical inspection before the previous one expires. No station has the right to refuse a citizen this.

What is needed to pass MOT? The direct owner of the car or another individual who has a power of attorney for the vehicle can apply for maintenance. The following documents are required to be presented:

Russian passport;
registration certificate or registration certificate.

What does a non-owner of the car need to provide for MOT? Such a citizen must have a notarized power of attorney allowing him to use this vehicle.

The government has not yet introduced any changes directly to the maintenance procedure itself. The driver, as before, is obliged to contact a qualified specialist. Only after the inspection is completed, the citizen is issued a diagnostic card. If the vehicle does not comply with the standards, its owner receives a ticket with a list of comments. This document must be shown to the service station specialist during the next visit.

How to pass a car inspection in 2021

The first thing you need to do is decide on the maintenance item. On the website of the Russian Union of Auto Insurers you can find a list of diagnostic centers for vehicle maintenance and choose the one that is more suitable for yourself.

Before undergoing diagnostics, it is necessary to clean the car to more easily and accurately determine its color. It is necessary to pay attention not only to the presence of a fire extinguisher and first aid kit, but also to their expiration date. Often, the obstacle to providing an inspection card is the presence of cracks on the windshield. But you may encounter this problem if the crack is on the driver’s side.

To undergo technical inspection you must provide the following documents:

Passport;
Driver's license;
A certificate confirming the registration of the car;
Power of attorney to the responsible person, if the owner of the car is not able to be present at the service station.

During maintenance, the driver must know what faults are present in the car. The most important problems include damage to the steering, malfunctions in the braking system, defects in the operation of on-board electronics, and problems with lighting fixtures. These problems can lead to an accident, so they must be corrected. In addition, all problems that do not affect security are eliminated.

And so, a list of parts that are primarily checked at service stations:

Brake system;
engine;
fuel system;
steering;
> chassis;
lighting fixtures and headlights;
windshield wipers and washers;
individual body elements (locks, handles, traction, coupling devices, etc.).

Major changes in passing technical inspection

How to get a diagnostic card in 2021? In February, new rules were introduced according to which it is necessary to undergo a technical inspection of a car:

braking system. Now the correctness of its functioning is assessed according to the criteria of the Technical Regulations of the Vehicle, namely clauses 1.2-1.5 of the eighth appendix. These points contain the main requirements for the braking system. In addition, it is indicated here that the permissible relative difference in braking power between wheels of the same axle can be equal to 20 percent if the brakes are disc, and 25 percent if the brakes are drum;
introduced a ban on non-functioning and current power steering wheels. According to the innovations, a car with such a breakdown cannot undergo technical diagnostics;
They have become stricter with optics: they should not be tuned or covered with film. Previously, technical inspection was not carried out if the vehicle had no lenses or the integrity of the headlights was damaged. According to the innovations, it is prohibited to keep lenses dirty, it is prohibited to install lighting devices of optical elements, only if this is not a structural element of the vehicle;
Right-hand drive cars must be equipped with light and reflective elements, and the headlights must be adjusted strictly in accordance with the provisions of the CU TR. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with an LPG system, the driver must present the relevant documents for it;
The operator has the right to refuse diagnostics if the vehicle has broken or missing windshield wipers and washers. These items must be clean and in working order. If the standard rear wiper is missing, the technical inspection will also be denied;
it is prohibited to change the design of the vehicle;
the tires must be the same in size, wear and type (presence/absence of studs).

Also, when inspecting a vehicle, the specialist pays special attention to the presence of oil leaks.

Important! Pensioners can check their cars at a special discounted price.

Fines provided for lack of technical inspection

Vehicles carrying passengers are subject to mandatory fines for the absence of a diagnostic inspection card. These are not only minibuses and buses, but also taxis and private carriers.

Drivers transporting dangerous goods can also be fined. This is explained by the fact that taxi drivers and vehicle carriers have a higher responsibility on the road than other road users.

If you do not have insurance, you must pay a fine of 800 rubles. to the state. If you do not have insurance with you, then you need to have 500 rubles with you.

How to obtain a diagnostic card and what fines are provided for its absence

As mentioned above, based on the results of the inspection, a diagnostic card is issued, which has the signature and seal of the maintenance operator. The document also contains a special diagnostic card number. The results of all technical inspections are stored in the EAISTO database. The fine for lack of technical inspection will be applied only to drivers of passenger taxis and buses. Financial penalties are also provided for driving a truck transporting people or dangerous goods.

The fine for lack of technical inspection will be 500-800 rubles.

Other drivers do not face fines and it is not necessary to have a diagnostic card in the car. It will be difficult to buy this important document without undergoing inspection - the punishment for greedy operators will be an impressive amount, consisting of many figures - 100,000 - 300,000 rubles. The specialist will also be responsible if the car gets into an accident due to a malfunction. Moreover, all data is entered into the EAISTO database. The lack of technical inspection excludes him from driving - the car must remain in the garage until all faults are eliminated. If the driver continues to use it, he faces a fine of up to 5,000 rubles.

technical inspection in Moscow

What do you need to pass a technical inspection in 2021? Read about the most current changes in the rules for passing technical inspection in the article “New rules for conducting technical inspection from February 22, 2018.”

Almost every year, innovations appear in legislation that introduce new rules, technical regulations and procedural conditions. As part of today's article, we will look at innovations and rules that affect motorists, namely, the rules for passing a technical inspection in 2021 - technical inspection in Moscow

Major changes to the technical inspection rules

Let us note right away that the concept of “technical inspection coupon” (and the document itself) has completely left the legislation. Now a vehicle diagnostic card is issued instead. The document can be obtained at any service center after the maintenance has been completed.

What is a diagnostic card?

diagnostic inspection card The diagnostic card is a special document in A4 format, which contains a table with all the recorded information about the car, and also indicates a technical conclusion about the possibility/impossibility of operating the vehicle.

Such a card is certified only by the signature of the expert who conducted the inspection. The document is drawn up in two copies (an electronic version is additionally created) with an individual number assigned. One copy remains with the owner of the vehicle, and the other is kept by the expert who conducted the inspection for three years.

Important: starting from January 1, 2014, drivers will not be charged a fee for issuing a diagnostic card or issuing a copy of it.

New form of maintenance coupon

The technical inspection form has a new form, which is officially approved by the Order of the Ministry of Transport. Basic requirements for the coupon:

It is a green card with dimensions 105x74 mm, which is printed on modern computers; There must be a ten-digit coupon number, which is made using letterpress printing; The form is a secure printing document of level “B” in accordance with the requirements of valid regulations. The driver must pay attention to these nuances and when issuing new forms, beware of possible counterfeits.

How often should a technical inspection be carried out?

frequency of inspection The validity period of the diagnostic card (and, therefore, the timing of the vehicle inspection) depends on the year of manufacture of the vehicle. According to Part 2 of Article 15 of Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 170-FZ, drivers have the right not to send their car for inspection until they reach three years of age. This means that maintenance is not necessary for new cars.

If the car is more than three years old, then you need to purchase a diagnostic card for it. Depending on the purpose of use and the class of the car, the card will be valid for:

Two years for a vehicle that was produced from 3 to 7 years ago and contains a note about the release date in the registration certificate or in the technical passport of the vehicle. One year for a vehicle whose age exceeds 7 years. We also note that the inspection ticket must be replaced with a diagnostic card only if its validity period expires and the vehicle is re-inspected.

Clause 4, Part 1, Article 15 of the above Federal Law regulates the obligation to undergo technical inspection once every 24 months for those vehicles that were produced from 3 to 7 years ago. Clause 3 of the article regulates the mandatory annual maintenance, regardless of the year of manufacture:

Trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons. Cars that are equipped with special light and sound signals. Vehicles that are intended for management training. Part 6 of Article 15 of the Federal Law establishes the possibility of undergoing maintenance in a shorter period of time, depending on the wishes of the car owner.

Maintenance rules

technical inspection rules The 2018 technical inspection rules establish that the inspection is carried out by an expert, based on which the owner receives a diagnostic card with a conclusion on the possibility of further operation of the vehicle.

If the car has passed the MOT, the driver will be given a ticket; otherwise, a second pass will be required. It should be remembered that re-passing MOT is paid.

Important: if the driver chooses the same operator who carried out the initial inspection, then only those elements that did not pass the initial certification need to be checked. If another operator is chosen, then it is necessary to conduct a full inspection and, accordingly, pay the full cost.

Please note that the cost of repeated maintenance is established by the norms of paragraphs. 3.4 tbsp. 18 of the Federal Law.

What is checked during a technical inspection? The following mandatory parameters are set:

Instrumental diagnostics; Checking for compliance with the license plate, first aid kit and fire extinguisher; Checking door locks; Checking the standards of technical fluids of the machine; Checking the operation of the brake system; Checking lighting equipment; Checking the play of the suspension and steering wheel; Measuring exhaust toxicity levels. All information based on the results of the inspection will be located in the expert’s automated system.

Documents for technical inspection

What is needed to pass the technical inspection? In accordance with the requirements of paragraphs. 1.2 tbsp. 18 of the Federal Law, the car owner must have the following documents:

Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation; Certificate of registration of vehicle and PTS; Driver's license; If an inspection is carried out by a person who is not the owner of the car, a general power of attorney is required. If malfunctions are detected, a prerequisite for obtaining a diagnostic card is their mandatory elimination. This is due to the following reason: if an accident occurs due to faults missed during the technical inspection, then the insurance company will recover the full amount of material damage from the maintenance operator.

What is the cost of a technical inspection?

cost of technical inspection The Federal Tariff Service issued a document according to which, from January 1, 2012, the cost of undergoing maintenance for a car should not exceed 958 rubles excluding VAT. Taking into account the actual conditions for undergoing maintenance in 2014-2015 and the rules for passing technical inspection in 2021, cars of category “B” will cost 700 rubles, while the state duty for undergoing maintenance is no longer charged.

Tariffing depends not only on the type of vehicle, but also on the region where the inspection is carried out. In each region, prices are set that are controlled by executive authorities. The maximum cost is set for cars of category N2-N3 (large trucks) - the price ranges from 1510-1630 rubles.

As a conclusion, we note: the inspection rules have been significantly simplified, so that undergoing maintenance in 2021 will not present any difficulties for motorists. We also note that now there is no need to present the traffic police officer with a maintenance ticket - for ordinary motorists it is enough to show the MTPL policy.
