If you want someone to take it try Ricky at
Granite

Autos
on 634 340 708 they are behind Zoco market good mechanic and resonable price but call before you go as he is in and out.

I think he charges 45 euros but checks to make sure the car will pass before he takes it and also sorts any minor faults in the price ie bulbs etc.

Hi all,

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is ITV Test ? is it MOT ?

thanks

Yes, ITV is the Spanish equivalent to MOT.
If you want to do it yourself, I wrote what to take, where to go & how to do it on a previous thread here: http://www.talkquesada.com/driving-to-spain-car-hire-in-spain-buying-and-owning-a-car-in-spain-f90/what-documents-do-you-need-for-an-itv-test-t7546.html?hilit=ITV

Thanks Martin

Took mine to San Pedro in and out in 30 minutes cost €39.

The ITV has to be checked every year once the car is over two years old .I take my car to the ITV station in CALLOSA DE SEGURA and have done so for the last 4 years .The prices quoted vary from ITV stations and depend which area you live in.
you have to wait in a queue depending on what time of day you go .I don't speak Spanish , but manage to get the ITV completed with a bit of no habla espana .

That information is incorrect.
A Spanish car doesn't require an ITV test until it is four years old, it then has to be tested every two years until it reaches ten years, then it is every year.
This rule changes if you have a van derived car, Citroen Berlingo etc, unless it has been registered as a turismo from new, invariably they are registered as furgoneta (spelling may not be correct) which means light commercial vehicle (or van) The ITV for those is more frequent.

Dave.
