Pass inspection

Security can only be efficient car. This is an indisputable truth. That is why the technical condition of the car should be not only the owner, but also the state on behalf of the traffic police, obliging motorist regular inspection of the vehicle.
How often? According to the rules, introduced in 2007, the newly acquired vehicle must pass technical inspection in the first year from the date of manufacture. The machine age of seven inspected every two years and older - once a year. But if the vehicle is designed to carry more than eight passengers (excluding the driver), then it has to be inspected every six months
Should not be delayed visit to the traffic police to the last day (you never know what can prevent it, and then you do not meet the deadline.)

How to prepare for the visit?

Naturally, it is necessary to wash the car, including the wheels and, of course, the license plate number. Adjust lights, test the wipers, seat belts, sound. Door locks should clearly open and close. Backlash steering must conform to the standards stated by the manufacturer. Of course, the car should be a warning triangle, fire extinguisher, first aid kit (and everything in it to the list, and the drug should not be expired). It is very desirable to come to the tires, the respective season. Setting yourself up to the possibility of a long line, and in general to the seriousness of the event.

What documents need to be, going to the inspection?

This is your passport, driving license, medical certificate, vehicle registration document (or a power of attorney from the owner), a receipt for payment of taxes and payment inspection
First, however, you meet with the inspector, and the car afterwards. So do not forget about your own appearance. It is understood that the documents proving your identity, and driver's license to be valid, ie, not past due.
If your machine has a spetssignalami and advertising signs, you should have an even traffic police permission and agreement with the advertiser.

By the way, we should remember that in addition to the machine on checkup "inspection" and the owner. Therefore, we must take care not only about their appearance, but also have the origin`l documents proving your identity and ownership of the car.



How is tehosmotrr
Long gone are the days of examination "by eye." Cars have become more complex, naturally and control too. On point your machine tool control check on the most important for its security parameters:
• How does the service and parking brakes. Under the new rules, test and operation of the automatic control braking forces and the ABS (if available). Cross off course during braking must be within 0.7 m
• Working steering. Backlash is defined by standard steering manufacturer, in its absence, in the documentation for the car gap can not exceed 10 degrees.
• Working external lights, wipers and washer. Lamps should be blue light.
• Wheels and tires must match the vehicle structure, the height of the tread must not be lower than the norm (in other words, the rubber should not be bald).
• checks the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gases - at idle and higher revs, with defined parameters of CO and CH. If the machine has an oxygen sensor, check comes in three stages with the gas analyzer.
• Fuel and hydraulic fluids should not leak. In this case, check the tightness of all the fluid systems and connections in the crankcase ventilation system.
• All major equipment related to security - the doors, emergency exits, safety belts, towbar, etc. - Will be tested. Naturally, all of this should work.
• Marking of components and assemblies shall comply with the requirements
After a standard test vehicle parts and systems specialist tool control point data was entered in the diagnostic card. When detecting deviations in the system you have to fix them (this gives you 20 days of delay), and then to come back to the inspection station, where your car will test only the comments and no extra charge.
MOT can rob you of a lot of time and effort, so it is very important to properly and efficiently to prepare for it. In the end, you get a voucher for passing inspection ("lobovichok") and safely drive up to the next scheduled visit to the office.
If someone suddenly comes to mind a strange idea "zakosit" inspection, it must be remembered that the absence of the voucher gives the full right inspector removed from the machine room to write a resolution to ban the use of the vehicle, and then send it to the penalty parking. All this will create a lot more problems than the technical inspection.
