Since the beginning of 2012, the rules for passing inspection have changed throughout Russia which, radically different from the format of the old model, are designed to improve the quality and efficiency of service at maintenance points. A unified computer base has been created connecting technical centers, insurance companies, and tax police. It is she who encourages car owners to carefully monitor the condition of their car, which significantly increases the price of the car in case of its sale. The buyer clearly, according to the documentation, sees the condition of the car.
The new inspection rules do not provide for the passage of MOT vehicles that have not yet been three years from the date of purchase. These cars will be issued a coupon without inspection for a period of 3 years. At the age of the car from 3 to 7 years, the coupon will be issued once every two years, while older ones are required to be inspected annually. All passenger carriers (taxis, minibuses, buses) are waiting for maintenance once every six months. The inspection for trailers with a maximum weight of up to 3.5 t is canceled.
The new version of the law has changed the procedure for acquiring a compulsory motor insurance policy . Now, in order to be able to write out CTP, you need to go through MOT. The absence of a ticket is no longer a reason for a fine (only passengers will pay a penalty for the absence of a technical inspection ticket), but without an auto citizen, an inevitable punishment awaits you. There should not be a shortage of coupons now, as the State Sign has printed about 10 million technical standards of a new type.
Also in new inspection rules introduced the abolition of regionality when passing maintenance. You can go to any diagnostic point, from the technical centers submitted by the Russian Union of Auto Insurers, regardless of the registration of the car and go through there. Now in Russia there are more than 2.5 thousand maintenance points, and by 2014 their number will increase to 10,000. The new inspection rules have been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to insurance companies. They will demand compensation for negligent maintenance by operators if an accident occurs due to a malfunction. The list of documents required for inspection has decreased, but the responsibility for the condition of the car in technical terms has increased . The client must initiate the repair of his car and maintaining it in good condition.
As for right-hand drive cars, if they are technically sound, they will not have problems with the passage of MOT. Reduced requirements for non-standard optics of American cars.
The inspection procedure itself has undergone major changes. New inspection rules strictly regulate the time for inspection of the vehicle. So the identification of the car should take no more than 5 minutes, the diagnostics of a passenger car with a gas engine - 33-35 minutes, diesel and gas - 38-43 minutes, and for buses and trucks - 65-67 minutes. If the result is positive, the operator will issue you a maintenance ticket within 10 minutes. In case of non-compliance with this regulation, the owner of the vehicle may file a complaint.
The cost of inspection, which depends on the region, will now be adjusted by the operators that provide services. The main thing is that the limit set by the Federal Tariff Service is not exceeded. The state duty was removed from the cost of maintenance. At the moment, the cheapest prices in Moscow are 690 rubles. In the regions, payment varies from 350 to 600 rubles. The lack of discounts for preferential categories of citizens upsets.
In two transitional years, when the old and new rules will be in effect, the law will be finalized. The Government of the Russian Federation is confident that the market and competition themselves will regulate the mechanism and prices for the new inspection rules .
