If the result of the Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV) is unfavorable, is it permitted to drive the vehicle on public roads?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When the inspection result is unfavorable, it means serious defects affecting road safety have been detected. Regulations state that driving is only authorized to transport the vehicle from the ITV station to a workshop for repairs and back to the station for re-inspection. You have a period of two months to fix the defects. It is vital to distinguish this from a negative ITV result (very serious defects), in which case the vehicle cannot be driven under any circumstances and must be transported by a tow truck.
