It does inform you of that requirement on the above list of vehicles I think this is because they are classified here in Spain as "Commercial" where in the UK they would not and would require an MOT every 12 months. More income for the sinking ship I suppose   >:( >:(

hi
if you inform them at the itv center it is not for comercial use and fill in a form you will only need to itv every year :)

Think you'll find if it is actually a van then it will always be commercial,if it has factory fitted rear seats,windows,side doors etc it is a van derived car  and ITV'd every 12 mths.

I must say the booking and response via email in that regard is first class I will let you know on the 23rd if the good luck continues  ::)

It's very easy to book an appointment online for the ITV and we were actually in and out before our appointment time.  Our car is RHD but Spanish registered and so far has had to do the ITV every two years but from now on it's every year as the car is 10 years old.
