Public services finally confused all motorists. Few of us were able to fully figure out whether a technical inspection is needed or not. In what cases is it necessary to undergo MOT, and in which not? In general, a lot of questions have accumulated about this, so we decided to collect them in one article, and at the same time answer them.

Before, everyone had a technical inspection of the car once a year. But things changed a little last summer. Let's find out what exactly has changed, and how it affected car owners. According to official data, the law on the abolition of TO coupons came into force on July 31, 2012. But this law is not talking about the abolition of the inspection itself. So do you need an inspection now? You still have to go through it, but not everyone. About which specific categories we are talking about, we will talk a little later. First, let's find out the details that relate to the document itself. From now on, the document on the passage of MOT is called the diagnostic inspection card. But do not worry for those who still have the old coupon. According to the same government, this document will be valid until 2015year.

All of the above was valid only until January 1, 2013. But on the calendar, spring 2013 is already in full swing, so a new law has come into force. Do you need an inspection now? At present, it is no longer necessary to constantly carry a document on passing a technical inspection with you, and there will be nowhere to take it. Now, instead of issuing paperwork, the company where you will undergo MOT will enter you into a special state database.

Besides this innovation, there is one more. From now on, only cars that are older than three years are required to pass inspection. A technical inspection of a new car is not required at all. Of course, there are certain rules for cars that have already passed the age limit. Currently, the state has established the following procedure for passing technical inspection: if the car is older than three years, but younger than seven, then its owner will need to come to the inspection station every two years. Those motorists who drive a car older than seven years are required to undergo an inspection every year. This procedure, and all the new rules, apply only to cars, as well as motorcycles and trailers with a mass of up to 3.5 tons.

We tried to answer the most popular questions. Now let's summarize all of the above. Let's start with the main question. Is an inspection necessary? A car under three years old is not required. Anything older is required. Now about the document itself. From now on, this is not a MOT coupon, but a diagnostic cardTHEN. All innovations concern only cars, motorcycles and trailers. As you can see, if you put everything on the shelves, then there are no problems with understanding the new laws regarding technical inspection. Now you, dear motorists, can only follow the amendments to them, and, well, unquestioningly execute them. Remember that the government only did this to make your life easier. So that you do not stand in endless lines, knowing in advance that the car will be able to drive without problems for more than one year, because it is new.
