    Contrôle Technique Moto: les points contrôlés

    After years of debate, the issue of compulsory technical inspection of motorcycles is approaching its end, but not to the extent expected by motorcyclists. On Tuesday October 24, the decree concerning the technical inspection of motorcycles was published in the Official Journal .


    We will study this: the points checked, the dates, the motorcycles concerned.

    Result of the Motorcycle Technical Inspection


    Three possible results can be obtained after the technical inspection:

    • A (favorable/validated),
    • S (unfavorable for major failure)
    • R (unfavorable for critical failure)

    In the event of S, the technical inspection will only be valid for two months , in order to allow the necessary time to carry out the repairs.

    In case of R, the validity will be limited to the day the motorcycle is returned home .

    A second inspection will be necessary in the event of an unfavorable result.

    The checkpoints will be focused on eight different areas:

    1. Vehicle identification
    2. Braking equipment
    3. Direction
    4. Visibility
    5. Lights, reflective devices and electrical equipment
    6. Axles, wheels, tires, suspension
    7. Chassis and chassis accessories
    8. Other material
    9. Nuisances

    Should we be afraid? No, as you can read below, these are points that call for common sense. As a biker, we are already vigilant on these points.
    As a fan of customization, modifications made in the right way, properly, will allow the validation of the MOT without worries.

    Obviously, we are disappointed, we are far from the visual inspection announced or the recommendations made by the FFMC during the public consultation.

    Motorcycle inspection dates:


    On April 15, the periodic technical inspection will officially come into force, with the first examinations carried out in the centers.


    Motorcycles, scooters, quads and three-wheelers that were registered before January 1, 2017 will have to pass their first inspection before December 31, 2024 .

    2 and 3 wheels registered between 2017 and 2019 will have to pass the MOT in 2025.

    2 and 3 wheels registered between 2020 and 2021 will have to pass it in 2026 .

    Vehicles registered from 2022 will have to follow the timetable established by article R323-27 of the highway code, that is to say pass a first inspection after 4 years and a second inspection every two years.

    Conclusion :

    We now know in what sauce we are going to be eaten. All that remains is for us to maintain our motorcycles well, make modifications properly and thus avoid the stress of being failed at the inspection.

    Plus de 50 ans de bécanes, plus de 50 ans d’entretien fait par mes soins et aujourd’hui des branleurs me font chier avec leur racket.
    Même si je roule maintenant plus en side qu’en solo, ils me font abandonner ma joie de vivre en moto. Et je commence à penser abandonner ma passion. Il vont me tuer.

    Bonjour Nicolas,
    Je pense que cela ne sera pas un défaut, la partie du cadre (sabre) est après les amortisseurs.
    Passer une moto à une place n’est pas pareil que de passer une moto une place en 2, donc pour moi, RAS.

    Bonjour,

    Et merci pour cet article.

    Que pensez-vous des découpes de sabres ?

    Découpés sans atteinte à la sécurité (Juste après les amortisseurs), rentrerait à première vue dans les défauts mineurs (Article “Chassis” 6.1.1.b.6 et “siège” 6.2 3.a.6)

    Mais serait un défaut majeur pour l’article 0.3.1.b.7 prenant en compte que la carte grise mentionne 2 places.

    Qu’en pensez-vous ?

    Vous en remerciant par avance,

    Savez-vous combien si le nombre de défauts mineurs peut être infini ? Ou y a-t-il une quantité à partir de laquelle, cela passe en majeure ? = Cela fonctionne comme les voitures, pas de limite.

    la partie polluant (moto de 2002) = Avez-vous un montant de CO2 par kms indiqué sur votre CG ?

    Merci, j’ai modifié cette phare :)

    Un contrôle est effectué sur la base du véhicule à sa sortie.

    Les contrôleurs des centres
    techniques manipuleront le véhicule à la poussette ou à la conduite car il faut être titulaire du permis A
    pour cela ?
    Et les véhicules de collection sont ils soumis au CT et ont ils les mêmes points de controles ?

    Merci beaucoup pour cet article, TOP !
    Savez vous combien si le nombre de défauts mineurs peut être infini ? ou y a t il une quantité à partir de laquelle, cela passe en majeure?

    Pour ma part, la partie polluant (moto de 2002) m’inquiète… on verra bien.

    remarque: La négation doit être de trop dans cette phrase : “Les motos, scooters, quads et trois-roues qui ont été immatriculés avant le 1er janvier 2017 ne devront pas passer leur premier contrôle avant le 31 décembre 2024.”
