Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the regulations in force on the roadworthiness test (ITV) of vehicles (Royal Decree 920/2017), vehicles intended for the transport of goods with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg have the following ITV deadlines: Up to ten years old: The test must be passed annually (every year, the first test being passed one year after registration). Over ten years old: The test becomes six-monthly (every six months). Since the truck in the question is 8 years old and has a MAM of 12,000 kg, it falls within the up-to-ten-years bracket, so it must pass the ITV annually. The other options are incorrect: the six-monthly frequency (every 6 months) applies only when the truck is more than ten years old, while two-year periods (every 2 years) do not exist for goods transport vehicles of more than 3.5 tonnes.
