Inspection is a mandatory process, and sooner or later you will have to go through it. Not all drivers know what is checked at the technical inspection of a car. And they share their own experiences with each other, trying to foresee every nuance. But here, as probably everywhere else, there are difficulties. The fact is that over the past few years, vehicle inspection has been actively reformed. At the government level, important documents regulating the inspection are signed, the time allotted for all procedures is set, paperwork is introduced that owners of commercial and passenger cars must provide, and the frequency of diagnostics is assigned.

Let's see what they check at the inspection in 2013. The legislation obliges each driver to adhere to certain rules at the time when they will undergo a vehicle inspection. They are required throughout the country. So, the technical center staff checks the following:

– Documents. They must testify to the ownership of the car or the right to usethis car (for example, a power of attorney).

– Documents confirming the identity of the person who arrived for the inspection.

- Diagnostic card in a new form (has 65 points). All of them must be checked during the inspection.

From the technical part, the components and assemblies that are checked by specialists at the technical inspection include:

1. Engine and all its systems.

2. Brake system condition.

3. Tires.

4. Glass cleaners, windshield washers.

5. Light fixtures.

6. Steering.

In addition to these six main nodes, the following are also subject to verification:

– armchairs and horns;

– rear-view mirrors;

– license plates;

– glass (for cracks in the windshield, etc.);

– seat belts and their proper operation;

– warning triangle, etc.

Employees of the technical center are not authorized to check components and elements that were not installed on the car by the manufacturer. In the event that employees try to check something that is beyond their competence, the owner of the vehicle has the right to challenge this by complaining to the Russian Union of Motor Insurers. Here they accredit such centers, maintain their register, and also perform other functions.

In addition, you also need to pay attention to the fact that the car must be present during the technical inspection:

– fire extinguisherof the established sample with a volume of at least 2 liters;

– warning triangle.

The requirement for a first aid kit has been removed from the legislation, so it will not be checked.

In principle, this is all that is checked at the technical inspection. It should be noted that the complete technical inspection procedure should not last more than 30 minutes. This figure is enshrined in the norms that are adopted at the federal level. For technical inspection of Gazelles (as well as other commercial vehicles), the carrying capacity of which is 3.5 tons - no more than 23 minutes.

After the inspection is completed, the owner of the car must receive a diagnostic card in accordance with the appropriate sample.
