The car was sent for examination, what should I do?

What should you do if you sent your car for examination after registration? Don't panic, everything is standard

Especially when buying old foreign cars (and, indeed, AvtoVAZ), there are often cases when traffic police inspectors, when registering a car, send it for examination to make sure that it is not stolen, does not have a stolen engine, and indeed it has not been cut. Nowadays they do this more and more often. There are many reasons why an inspector may decide to do just that, but the main ones are: the VIN code or part of it has disappeared (in the engine or on the frame), there is a contract engine that is not included in the title, or the color of the car is different from the registered one. In order not to take responsibility, in the event of any situations, an examination is appointed, based on the conclusion of which, a resolution will be issued - authorizing registration actions or not.

The examination checks all the inspector’s suspicions; if it concerns the VIN code, then it looks like it was destroyed on purpose, or due to corrosion. The code is also searched through the database for theft, and the engine model is compared with the one already entered.

Just an example from life

It is for such cases that the examination is aimed. If you look at the theft statistics, old BMWs and Hyundai Solaris with Kia Rio chassis are the most popular models for thieves, so if any suspicion arises, the policeman calmly writes out the direction and then all that remains is to go through it, there are no other options. Moreover, according to the law for 2018, a criminal case is opened against the new owner (under a purchase and sale agreement) on suspicion of theft. Further, based on the examination data, the same case is closed.

Details about the examination

The validity period of the resolution is 30 days. During this period, you need to have time to undergo an examination in your city and show its results to the department, otherwise, far from pleasant measures will be taken in your direction. The decree will specify where exactly you need to come, i.e., if there are several expert centers in your city, there is no opportunity to choose yourself, just as there is no choice of time. As a rule, everything goes in order. On average, it takes 30-60 minutes to inspect one car.

The procedure itself is paid, the price tag may vary depending on the city, but on average it will cost approximately 1,200 rubles, which will still need to be paid at the bank.

On the other hand, the examination gives a huge plus for the future sale of the car, namely a complete guarantee of the legal purity of the car.

Fans of tuning will have a hard time, however, this is already news, with a roaring muffler, low ground clearance, tinted windows, the car cannot be registered even if there is no suspicion of theft, self-installed LPG, etc. The same applies to experts. It is better to eliminate all this before registration.

For SUV owners, everything is more acute. All tuning: snorkels, winches, lift, larger diameter wheels, locks, roof lights, branch guards, etc. must be registered in advance. For example, if the previous owner did this tuning and hammered the bolt, you become the new owner of the car only after a huge headache.

What to do next?

If there are good reasons that a police officer has exceeded his powers, then you can go to court, but it will take a long time and no one really needs it, most likely the court will side with the police officer, since he is acting within the legal framework. So all that remains is to obey. It will not be possible to find time, undergo an examination, take the results to the department where the resolution was issued and wait for the notification of the closure of the criminal case (it should arrive by Russian Post, from one month) and then with this piece of paper go to register the car. So take out insurance and ride safely, there will be no problems.

Is it possible to drive a car? The answer is yes. If yours has not been confiscated, you can safely ride it, there will be no violation of the law. You just won’t be able to resell it, since these very actions are legally limited.

But fines will be sent to the previous owner, since the car is still registered with him (the new owner is not in the title), and the re-registration procedure is just underway. Whether this is correct or not can only be judged by the criteria of your property.

There are times when you may be sent back to visit experts, but this is a topic for another article. However, as a rule, this occurs if it was completed at a private institution, and not at a government institution, or at one, but in a different region.

Legally, police officers at a traffic police post can also be sent for an examination if they have grounds; fortunately, this practice happens extremely rarely, and you have to try hard to run into something like this.

For this attitude, we can say thank you to all TAZ manufacturers and lovers of old foreign cars (mainly Japanese and German), who like to boost engines and put everything in there (even a V8, if it fits). This is a direct violation of the law on design changes to the car. It is thanks to the growing flow of collective farm tuning that it is easier for the police to send a car for examination and move on in line than to understand each car to see what is wrong with it.

If you have received a ban on registration actions

However, the situation can go the other way if there really are serious violations. For example, a car is cut (assembled from two or more cars), the engine is not serial or stolen. In this case, you will not be able to do anything. It will be impossible to sell such a car, just like driving it. The maximum that remains is to sell the car for parts. So be especially careful when buying old cars, you may become its last owner.

But not only old cars at risk, new ones or those just purchased from the showroom can also be sent for this procedure.

There are also cases when you purchase a car with special notes already included in the title (when the examination has already been carried out), this is not a guarantee that the inspector will not send you for a second one, and the conclusion of the previous one will simply not be taken into account.

The car was sent for examination, what should I do?

Good afternoon, I really need help.

The other day I bought a car for a ride, very inexpensively, 1980, mileage 18,000, it was in my grandfather’s garage from the very beginning, then a relative bought it, he had it for another 7 years, and I took it from him because he was emptying the garage . As a result, they sent the car to the traffic police for examination; there was a suspicion of broken numbers. In short, it's an ass, then I started comparing it myself - it really looks like it. A friend at the traffic police checked the documents - the documents are clean, no bad stories.

Expertise in Moscow, Vidnoye. The question is what to do. The car was clearly not worth the hassle. But you will find the previous owner of the fig 7 years later, the relative himself is in shock.

Please advise what I should do with all this.

If there is someone who can and knows how to help, write in a personal message, I will be very grateful. The situation for me is not pleasant at all out of the blue.

So what? They tell me that the sign is riveted, the font is wrong, “probably.” And indeed, it looks like the font is 6 mm, not 7. But I didn’t even know that this could be, and I looked at the car without a microscope - the issue price was 25 you.

So, what if the examination confirms that it really is a jamb? What will happen to me? I bought the guy who sold it and disappeared, half a year ago, and I don’t even have his number. What are the risks of these proceedings?

Isn’t it an option to give money for the examination? Or quickly make a sign “as it should be”? It’s just that the hassle of 25 thousand is not needed at all, especially since the journey to the examination is about 70 km in an old, not very good car!

There is a tricky moment here: As soon as the Gaytsy wrote you a referral for an examination, they sent the case to the police department at your place of residence. If you don’t go for an examination, they will call and look for you.. In my story, they started looking for my grandfather after about 3 months.. they say, how can this be... you were sent to go through, but you’re not going.. I also drove a rotten one into dust in Vidnoye , the awning was torn off in half, there were almost no brakes. as an option, drag her there.. Immediately prepare to lose a day there.. at 9 you turn it in, at 16 you pick it up, then a week later you go again for a conclusion.

By the way, my grandfather later tried to prove to the cops that it was not he who cut the license plates, but the previous owner before him. but I never found out how it all ended...my grandfather died(

Money for the examination is not an option at all, everything is tough. Afterwards I just thought that the guy should have given the money, that everything was ok... and now the mess is brewing

Hello.
I purchased a Mazda 6 2004. A purchase and sale agreement has been drawn up. I went to register the car with the MREO. When checking the body number on the car, questions arose, allegedly there was mechanical damage to the body number. They took all the documents and sent them to the search inspector. He drew up 1) a paper about the voluntary issuance of documents 2) a paper about where and when I bought the car (everything looked like I was some kind of criminal). Gave a referral for examination at IVF.

Signed up for an examination. I came, looked, they said everything was fine, the body number was not digested and it was original, there was an emergency, they crushed it. They were released in peace to the PARKING PLACE! You can't drive a car! While the transit tickets were not expired, I still traveled for a week. And now the car sits like a dead weight in front of the house.

As the search inspector said, it will take at least a month for the experts to give an opinion and send it to the police department so that they can stop the criminal case and other operations, after which you need to call the office and find out if the documents have arrived.

I’m afraid all this bureaucratic work will last more than a month, and it’s impossible to remain without a car for the summer.
After all, I am an honest buyer and expert. She told me verbally that everything was fine. What was left in my hands was a CERTIFIED COPY of the PTS WITH A MARK THAT THE ORIGINAL HAS BEEN SENT TO THE OVD, SALE AGREEMENT, EXPIRED TRANSITS, A COPY OF THE PAPER ON THE VOLUNTARY ISSUANCE OF DOCUMENTS, MTPL INSURANCE, RIGHTS. Is there an option to drive a car while all these procedures last?

social_hiring May 20, 2010

it looked like I was some kind of criminal

More specifically, what did it look like?

so that they would stop the criminal case and other operations

You are confusing something, IMHO.
On what basis should a criminal investigation be initiated in the internal affairs department? The traffic police materials at the police department regarding your car were sent for inspection based on the discovery of blah blah blah. And after the check and on the basis of the examination, investigators make a decision to refuse (in your case) or initiate a criminal investigation. Interrogators, more precisely.
So find out when and how the assessment was sent to the police department (try to get a copy from an expert), the same thing based on materials from the police station. Then call the duty desk and find out who the case was transferred to, bring him some cognac and a couple of coffees, so that he can write a refusal notice faster, and the investigator himself (if authorized) will rattle off to the police station. At this rate, you can do it in 7-10 days (or maybe faster).

Andy81 May 20, 2010

Yes, maybe I misunderstood something, apparently the case has not been initiated, but lies there and waits for it to be stopped or initiated. Thank you. It became a little more clear. I just had no experience in this kind of thing. It's hard to understand what this looks like in practice.

The examination was carried out a week ago.
those. Now you need to call the police department and ask if they received the results of the examination and to whom the case was transferred? There is complete abstraction in my head Post edited by Andy81: May 20, 2010 - 16:56

You are an adult and independent person, apparently, so I’m sorry, I won’t lead you by the hand through the text. Read what I wrote several times for yourself. I have given you a complete and understandable algorithm of actions.

Copies are made of the documents, and their originals, as well as registration plates, together with a message about the discovery of signs of a crime, are immediately transferred to the internal affairs body at the place of their discovery to carry out the necessary actions and make a decision in the manner established by the criminal procedural legislation of the Russian Federation. ———————————
Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of June 15, 1998 N 711 “On additional measures to ensure road safety.”
Instructions on the procedure for receiving, registering and resolving statements, messages and other information about an incident in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia of December 1, 2005 N 985 (registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on December 16, 2005, registration N 7276) .

Registration actions with vehicles that have signs of changes in the markings applied to them due to natural wear and corrosion are carried out on the basis of decisions to refuse to initiate a criminal case and certificates (conclusions) of forensic units of the internal affairs bodies on the study of markings confirming this change.
A similar procedure is applied when establishing the facts of applying secondary marking to repair engines of foreign-made vehicles, provided there is confirmation of the authenticity of the origin of the newly applied engine number in accordance with the technology used at foreign automobile repair enterprises.

Romale Nov 30, 2018

Hello. I apologize if a similar question has already been asked, but the problem is the following:

I purchased a Volga 31105 car in another city. A purchase and sale agreement has been drawn up. I went to register the car with my MREO. During the reconciliation, the inspector had questions. The fact is that the year of manufacture of the car according to the VIN number and in all databases is listed as 2009, and in the title the year of manufacture is 2008, in SORka the previous owner also had the year of manufacture 2009. The inspector had doubts, like the car itself was 09 year, and according to documents 08th.

The PTS is original, the first entry was made by the Gorky Automobile Plant.

In general, they sent it for examination, with the wording: “the documents do not belong to this car,” “The title has been washed away.”

Has anyone encountered similar cases in their practice? What can we expect from such an examination, what might be the solution? Maybe it’s worth going to file an application for termination of the contract?
