ITV TESTS CHANGED WITH ADDITIONS AS FROM JUNE 1st
ITV TESTS CHANGED WITH ADDITIONS AS FROM JUNE 1st

ITV TESTS AS FROM JUNE 1st
Changes from Tuesday
From June 1, any fault in ABS braking systems will become a defect automatically subject to a fail, rather than a 'minor fault'.
'Minor' faults are issues drawn to the owner's attention during or immediately after the test, are not serious enough to result in a fail, but could lead to failure if they are not fixed by the time of the next test, depending upon their severity.
Until now, 'minor' faults would include a loose wing mirror or one that was hanging off; this is now a 'serious' fault, meaning the car will fail unless it is fixed first.
More complex criteria, but clearer explanations have been introduced for the emissions-checking requirement – already a compulsory part of the test, the changes will affect electric cars with an extended battery life per charge, known as Range-Extended Electric Vehicles (REEVs).
This will also include procedures for identifying motorcycles with advanced emission-control systems.
One change that could make life more convenient for drivers is that the 'log book', or vehicle registration document, will now be held on the traffic authority's General Vehicle Register, meaning it can be identified by the test centre if the owner forgets to bring the hard copy, which has always had to be shown when 'checking in' for the inspection.
In any case, though, Spanish law requires that this document be kept inside the vehicle at all times when it is in use, and if a driver is unable to show it to police when stopped, this could result in a fine.
Other changes in the inspectors' manual have been made to cover the re-registration of cars with British number plates when owned and used on Spanish roads by a resident in Spain.
This process is now likely to be more convoluted, given that the UK is no longer part of the European Union and 'streamlined' rules throughout the remaining 27 member States do not apply to third countries.
Re-registration is part of a process of importing, so fees for doing so could be higher now that Britain is outside the Common Market and Customs Union.

Can things in Spain become ‘more convoluted’?

In my opinion, if you live in a country that has laws then just follow them and you won’t go wrong.
If your not happy with them then what’s stopping you from going back home to live and follow their rules and costs.

from a while ago now it is not "law" to carry your car documents its "recommended" like its not law to have the ITV sticker on display as the police can check all your documents electronically now, but if there system isnt working or not enough signal to access it then they will want to see them this is why its recommended!! like to save being pulled over and them have to check the Itv is valid its recommended you display the sticker because they just look at the windscreen instead of pulling you over.The only document that "by law" is mandatory you carry on you at all times because the police can arrest you until you can prove who you are is a photo ID (passport/Spanish drivers license/DNI/tie etc)
