Spain vehicle inspection regulation and service updates
Overview
Spanish authorities have addressed misinformation regarding Mandatory Technical Inspection (ITV) regulations. Clarifications from the Official State Gazette (BOE) confirm that private passenger vehicles exceeding ten years of age must undergo annual inspections, rather than the semestral inspections incorrectly rumored on social media. The semestral requirement applies to goods vehicles, such as light trucks and heavy vehicles, rather than passenger cars.
In terms of service availability, new inspection options have been introduced. A provisional station managed by SITVAL has opened in Torrent, capable of performing up to 20,000 inspections annually. Additionally, a mobile ITV unit is scheduled to provide appointment-only services in Almagro from November 5 to November 10, 2026.
