It is recommended that you pay attention to your mailbox, since it is possible that in the coming weeks you will receive a letter from the DGT to notify changes in the regulations
The technical inspection of vehicles is a necessary procedure to improve road safety, however, according to the data that handle the
General direction of traffic (DGT) and the Ministry of Industry, during 2020, absenteeism reached 32%. Of the 28.6 million vehicles called for review, only 19.6 million attended. In fact, it is estimated that, by 2021, this figure could have already exceeded 40%. Taking these data into account, it becomes even more important to know the news regarding the ITV and attend it in a timely manner.
Therefore, from the multinational in technical, security and certification services worldwide,
TÜV Rheinland, and aware of the doubts of many drivers after changes in certain regulations and ITV deadlines, inform that you be attentive to your mailbox, because, it is possible that in the
next weeks you will receive a letter from the DGT. The public entity has sent a letter to hundreds of thousands of drivers to notify changes in the regulations that will come into force soon. Among the news to be communicated is that, from now on, it will be mandatory to pass the ITV for all those vehicles that, after having been declared a total loss by an insurance company, are repaired and put back into circulation. This new step through the technical inspection will serve to obtain a document that proves that the vehicle is suitable for circulating again.

It is important to take into account the terms of the ITV of your vehicle. After the moratoriums in the stipulated times to pass the ITV, launched last year on the occasion of the Covid-19, there was a mismatch in the dates on which the next inspection would have to be passed.
At first (according to Order SND / 413/2020), it was established that the reference date to go to the next review would not be the one in which it had actually been passed, but the one originally recorded in the documentation, before moratoriums. However, even though the Supreme Court has ruled in this regard, annulling the validity of this rule, it does not have retroactive effects. So, if in your case the expiration date that appeared in the Technical Sheet was maintained and it was not modified by the actual date that you passed the ITV inspection, keep in mind that you must pass the next ITV inspection before the current date. in the Technical Sheet of your vehicle, if you do not want to risk receiving a fine for driving with the ITV expired.
