Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When the result of a periodic roadworthiness test (ITV) is unfavorable, it is because a serious defect has been detected (Royal Decree 920/2017, Article 9(4)). Serious defects bar the vehicle from traveling on public roads, except to take it to the workshop and return to an ITV station for a new inspection within a period of no more than two months, counted from the first unfavorable inspection (Article 11(2)). If it is presented outside that period, a full technical inspection must be carried out (Article 11(4)). There is freedom to choose the ITV station, both for the first inspection and for subsequent ones after correcting the defects (Article 11(8)), so there is no obligation to go to a different station. Nor is the period 15 days, but a maximum of two months.
