Additional Information

In Ukraine, the technical condition of wheeled vehicles must meet the requirements of the Rules of the Road of Ukraine, DSTU 3649: 2010 "Wheeled vehicles Safety requirements for technical condition and control methods", as well as the requirements of regulatory and technical documentation of the manufacturer.

During the operation of vehicles, their components and mechanisms that affect traffic safety, wear out and are subjected to significant loads, which in a particular road situation can lead to loss of stability and controllability of the car and an accident, and therefore the main tasks of expertise. 10.2. "Investigation of the technical condition of vehicles" is the establishment of vehicle malfunctions (hereinafter - vehicles) that threatened traffic safety, the causes of their formation and time of occurrence (before the accident (hereinafter - the accident) or as a result or after it), the possibility of detection faults commonly used methods of monitoring the technical condition of the vehicle, as well as determining the mechanism of influence of the fault on the occurrence and development of the accident.

The objects of the study of the technical condition of vehicles may be cars, trolleybuses, trams, tractors and other self-propelled vehicles, as well as materials provided by the expert. This type of forensic examination and research is especially often used in Ukraine when considering civil cases, in particular to determine claims for damages due to traffic accidents.

What documents (information) are required for the order?

1. A copy of the vehicle registration certificate (the original must be provided when inspecting the car).
