Inspection (TO) is an obligatory procedure for checking the technical condition of a vehicle (TS), without passing which a car cannot be insured under MTPL.

According to the results of the inspection, a diagnostic card is issued with a specific validity period.

This means that the next vehicle inspection must be carried out before a certain date.

For each category of vehicles, the time for passing the inspection is individual. Moreover, it also differs for vehicles belonging to the same category.

Several factors affect the frequency of vehicle inspection , such as:

  • age of the vehicle;
  • car belonging to any category;
  • purpose of the vehicle (for cargo or passenger traffic).

There are several options for classifying the CU, for example, the classifier of the Inland Transport Committee of the Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE ITC).

However, the generally accepted and most convenient is the one that is reflected on the back of the driver's license.

Consider each of the categories in terms of the frequency of inspection.

Category A

This category includes:

  • all existing types of motorcycles;
  • microcar;

How often it is necessary to pass the inspection of motorcycles and quad bikes, depending on the age of the vehicle:

  • 0-3 years - not subject to technical inspection;
  • 3-7 years - MOT every 2 years;
  • From 7 years - THAT annually.

We note a significant nuance concerning all vehicles without exception: the age reading for vehicle inspection starts from the moment the vehicle is manufactured, and not from the beginning of operation.

In fact, this means that if the vehicle left the assembly line in 2010, then the owner will have to undergo maintenance in 2013, regardless of when he acquired it.

Category B

This category is the most common by the number of vehicles and includes:

  • Vehicle weighing less than 3.5 tons and no more than 8 seats (hereinafter, the number of seats is indicated with the exception of the driver’s one);

  • The vehicle is less than 3.5 tons and the number of seats is not more than 8 with a trailer weighing more than 750 kg (subcategory BE);
  • ATVs and tricycles (subcategory B1).

The frequency of passing vehicle inspection category B is also dependent on age:

  • 0-3 years - not subject to maintenance;
  • 3-7 years - inspection every 2 years;
