DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to Article 3(1) of Royal Decree 443/2001, as a general rule only vehicles that are no more than ten years old at the start of the school year, counted from their first registration (the count is made on 1 September), may provide special-use regular transport of schoolchildren. As an exception, older vehicles are admitted if they do not exceed sixteen years and, in addition, the applicant proves that the vehicle was already used for that kind of transport or submits the scrapping certificate of another vehicle that in the current or the previous school year was assigned to an authorization for special-use regular transport of schoolchildren. Six years is less than the rule sets, and sixteen is the ceiling of the exception, not the general rule.
