getting ITV before due date. Can the date be kept?
getting ITV before due date. Can the date be kept?
by Redr0bb0 » Fri Sep 07, 2018 2:28 pm
Sorry if this has been asked before but I cant find it.
My ITV is due on 6th October. In the UK you can have MOT up to 1 month before and keep the same renewal date.
Is there a similar arrangement in Spain? If so what time limit applies.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes. You can have the ITV up to a month before the test is due and the date will be from when it is due.
This was brought in in October last year.

I took ours in for ITV on the 31st August. The expiry was Month 9 (end of September) but I was going back to the UK on the 1st so couldn't actually get it done in September. I have lost a month doing it this way as my new ITV now expires at the end of August next year now.
The guy at the iTV station never highlighted this fact, but then again, do they really care?
A but unfair and I will try not to get caught out like that in future.
Anyone else found this at all?

Just a thought. Should I have made this clear when I presented my car documents and actually asked for the real due date to be honoured?

If you go back to the ITV station they should issue new documents that preserve the original expiry date.
The opposite happened to me recently. My ITV was due to expire about now (mid September). In mid August I took the car to the garage for a pre-ITV check then they took it for its test. When I got the car back home I realised that the ITV station had given me a new ITV that expired in mid October 2020. My car had turned 10 years old in January this year, so they'd made 2 mistakes - giving me two years instead of one, and adding an extra month to the September expiry date.
After a bit of soul-searching and on advice from people on another forum, I went back to the ITV station and pointed-out the error. They issued me with a new certificate, windscreen sticker and sticker for the Permissio de Circulation that expire in mid September next year.
It seems to me that their IT systems aren't clever enough to calculate the correct renewal date, so I guess mistakes happen quite often. The rules are quite clear that you can take the car in up to 1 month early and preserve the anniversary date, so they should correct their mistake.

Hi Pete, reading your post am I correct in understanding that if your car is less than 10 years old you can obtain ITV for 2 years ?

ITV in Spain for cars under 10 years old are issued for 2 years after they are 4 years old.
When they are 10 years old they are required every year.
Commercial vehicles, vans etc (and be careful because some we think of as cars are classed as commercial, like some versions of the Berlingo) require it every year until they are 10 years old then every 6 months.
