Who should pass a technical inspection to avoid fines and even arrest? Important details and recommendations.
In July 2024, many motorists in Ukraine will face the need to pass a technical inspection (MOT). This is a procedure that ensures safety on the roads and helps keep the car in good condition. It is important for West Auto Hub to understand the basic aspects of this procedure in order to inform their customers and ensure their safety.
Who has to undergo a technical inspection?
First of all, technical inspection is mandatory for the following categories of vehicles:
- Cars: Only those used for commercial purposes (taxi, rental, etc.).
- Trucks: regardless of their weight.
- Buses: regardless of their capacity.
Documents and conditions of passage
Vehicle owners need to prepare the following documents for a successful inspection:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Passport of a citizen of Ukraine.
- Power of attorney, if a representative of the car owner passes the technical inspection.
Consequences of not passing technical inspection
Failure to pass a technical inspection or its postponement can have serious consequences:
- Fines: from UAH 340 for lack of maintenance at the first stop to UAH 17,000 for repeated violations.
- Deprivation of the right to drive: from 3 to 6 months.
- Administrative arrest: from 5 to 10 days.
These sanctions are not just a formality – there have already been cases when drivers were arrested for repeated violations. For example, in 2022, in the Chernihiv region, a driver was arrested for lack of technical inspection, despite previous fines and warnings.
