Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the regulations governing the technical inspection of vehicles (Royal Decree 920/2017), vehicles used for the carriage of goods with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg (categories N2 and N3) do not have initial exemption periods. They must undergo the roadworthiness test (ITV) annually (every year) from their first registration until they reach ten years of age. From the completed tenth year, the inspections become semiannual (every six months). Therefore, the correct option is every year, the every-two-years option (which does not apply to heavy trucks) and the every-six-months option (which only applies once past ten years) being wrong.
