B)The following year.
C)After two years.Correct
Private-use vehicles for the transport of persons, with a capacity of up to nine seats including the driver, after the first periodic technical inspection at four years from the registration date shown on the vehicle registration certificate, must undergo subsequent inspections every two years until the vehicle is ten years old. From 10 years onwards, annually.
Inspection results can be:
- Favourable: the vehicle is fit to drive. If minor defects are found, they must be repaired without the need to present the vehicle for a new inspection.
- Unfavourable: when the inspection reveals defects in the vehicle that seriously affect its safety conditions, the inspection body will retain the I.T.V. card and provide its holder with a receipt for it, valid only for the period indicated to remedy the defects, and for the planned route when moving the vehicle to the workshop where it is to be repaired and back for a new inspection.
- Negative: the vehicle is prohibited from being driven. The transfer of the vehicle from the station to its destination must be carried out by means external to the vehicle itself (tow truck).
