What is an ITV? How often do I have have to take my car?

[00:00:04] Confusing the ITV and MOT: The ITV is the Spanish equivalent of the British MOT . [00:00:27] The Inspection Schedule: New cars are first tested at four years, then every two years until age ten, and annually thereafter . [00:01:10] Fines and Insurance Risks: Driving without an ITV carries a 200 Euro fine, but the greater risk is voiding your car insurance . [00:01:57] Other Vehicles: Rules differ for motorbikes (every two years), work vans (often every six months), and historic vehicles. [00:03:15] Understanding the Sticker: The windscreen sticker shows the expiry month via a punched hole, but it actually expires on the specific day of the previous test. "So a quick culture clip to explain about the ITV (iteuve) [3]. Now the ITV, or MOT as you call it in English, causes quite a lot of confusion in the classroom [9, 15]. The first thing you need to understand is that your first ITV in Spain is when the car is four years old [33, 36]. So you buy a brand-new car straight out of the showroom, it has its first MOT when it is four years old and then it will have one every two years after that until it gets to ten [45, 51, 54]. At ten, it starts having the ITV every year after that [57]. Now with the ITV you can take it before and you can actually take it after—they don't penalise you [75, 90]. The problem is that if you are driving without an ITV, the fine is 200 Euros [105]. The problem is that, of course, if you have an accident, your insurance is only valid if you have an ITV [117, 120, 123]. It is different for other vehicles: with motorbikes it is every two years [141]. Industrial vehicles, or work vans, can be every six months [147]. My historic car only has an MOT every four years, and when it gets to 60 years of age the car will have no more ITVs at all [165, 171, 177]. The big thing with the sticker is you have to put it on the windscreen by law [243, 255]. It will tell you the year that your car needs its next ITV [267]. There is a hole punched so that you and the police know which month you have to take it [291, 297]. But you do not have the whole month; it expires on the day that you took it last time [303]. Check your logbook and it tells you when you have to do it [363, 369]."
