s your car legal in Spain? Whether you are driving through the hills of Almería, the coastal roads of Menorca, or the busy streets of the Costa Blanca, understanding the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) is essential.
In this video, I am breaking down the rules of the Spanish "MOT" to help you avoid a €200 fine and potential insurance issues. As a Cultural Insider, I see so much confusion in the classroom regarding when to test, where to put that sticker, and why the month punched on your windscreen might be lying to you.
What we cover in this "Road Safety" deep-dive:
The 4-2-1 Rule: When your new car needs its first test and how that frequency changes as the vehicle ages.
The Expiration Trap: Why you do not have the whole month to get your test done, even if the sticker suggests otherwise.
Fines and Insurance: Why driving without a valid ITV is a €200 mistake that could invalidate your entire insurance policy.
Special Vehicles: The rules for motorbikes, work vans, and why my historic car will eventually never need a test again.
The Sticker Law: Exactly where you must display your "Pegatina" to stay on the right side of the Guardia Civil.
