Passing a technical inspection is necessary to identify serious technical problems in the vehicle. And no matter how much you want to avoid this long procedure, the owner of the car needs it first of all.
All new cars and vehicles older than three years are subject to an annual technical inspection. After the expiration of three years in the traffic police department, upon presentation of the old technical inspection coupon, its validity will be automatically extended for one more year. After that, you will have to undergo an inspection annually.
To pass the technical inspection, you must submit the required documents. Get a driver's medical certificate confirming that you are allowed to drive a car. You can pass a driver's medical commission at any licensed medical institution. Before that, get a certificate from the narcological and neurological dispensaries that you are not registered.
To the traffic police department to undergo MOT, present the documents for the car - PTS, registration certificate, passport, medical certificate, a previously issued technical inspection coupon (if any). You will be given payment documents to pay the state duty. After you pay the bill, you will be given documents for the passage of MOT - a technological card that you present to the inspector.
Take the queue for the MOT in the box. As practice shows, it is quite possible to pass a technical inspection in one day. By the way, you can come literally an hour before the closing of the department and go through the inspection without queues at all. But in this case, it is better to obtain documents in advance. The peak is observed in the morning hours.
But the most important condition for a successful inspection is the technical serviceability of the car. Check the operation of all units yourself and correct any faults. Start with the work of lighting devices - low and high beam, dimensions, turn signals, room lighting. When starting the engine, the car should not "troit", smoke, stall. The inspectors pay special attention to the serviceability of the braking system. If you are not sure if the braking system of your car is normal, make a preliminary diagnosis at an independent technical center.
