Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Royal Decree 920/2017 (Article 6(1)) sets the frequency of the roadworthiness test (ITV) by category and age. Goods vehicles of more than 3,500 kg (N2 and N3) pass it every year until they are 10 years old and every six months once they exceed that age. Since the truck in the question, of 12,000 kg, is 8 years old, it falls in the up-to-10-years bracket and must pass the ITV once a year. The six-month option would be mandatory only if it exceeded ten years of age, and two-year (biennial) periods do not apply to this category.
