Mandatory technical inspection will most likely be canceled from January 1
Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma, said that the parliamentarians are faced with the task of approving the draft law by the end of 2021. The new norms will come into force from the beginning of the year, according to the speaker, this will make life easier for all owners of vehicles, of which there are about 50 million in Russia .
The Government of the Russian Federation has no comments on the developed normative act, so the lower house of the State Duma will hold a third reading on December 22.
Discussion of this significant bill for car owners has been going on since September. In November, it was adopted in the first reading, after which mandatory procedures were carried out, which have now been completed.
According to Volodin, the rush is not accidental. Cancellation of mandatory technical inspection from the beginning of the year is much easier than in any other period. At the same time, there will be several categories that the innovation does not apply to:

In all other cases, the obligation to monitor the correct technical condition will be assigned to the car owner. If you wish, you can go through MOT, as now.
The cost will not change, today you need to pay from 500 to 1000 rubles for technical inspection. depending on the features of the vehicle. But most car owners purchased a diagnostic card without checking the car. According to statistics, there are currently more than 80% of them, while the price ranges from a thousand to one and a half.
Many experts believe that MOT is canceled due to the fact that, in fact, only a few passed it, and the rest purchased a card without checking the car. At the same time, the situation with accidents due to technical malfunctions is unlikely to change, and so it was about 1%.
It is difficult to say whether this change will benefit motorists. The state can compensate for losses on state duties in various ways - from increasing excise taxes on fuel to introducing a new tax, etc.
In the event of an accident, one can expect tougher examinations by insurance companies and their recourse requirements for the driver if it turns out that the car had technical malfunctions. The cost of OSAGO is likely to increase, since when the technical inspection is canceled, the risks of insurers inevitably increase.
As for fines, they will be issued to commercial vehicles and cars registered less than a year ago without a diagnostic card.

Of course, many shadow schemes will stop working, but service stations that have spent money on equipping them according to the new requirements may suffer big losses. For most drivers, the innovation will make life easier.
