At what age must a van dedicated to goods transport with a MAM equal to or less than 3,500 kg pass its first Technical Inspection (ITV)?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is at 2 years. A very common mistake is to confuse the frequency of private cars (4 years) with that of goods transport vehicles. Because vans and light trucks (MAM ≤ 3,500 kg) undergo greater wear and tear due to work use, the regulations are stricter: they are exempt until 2 years old, so the first ITV is due exactly at that age. Subsequently, they must pass it every 2 years until they are 6; every year from age 6 to 10; and every 6 months if they are over 10 years old.
