B)3 years from the date of issue of the Technical Inspection Card.
C)4 years from the date of first registration.Correct
Private-use vehicles intended for the transport of persons with a capacity of up to nine seats, including the driver, must undergo the ITV (vehicle technical inspection) 4 years from the date of first registration.
From that date, biennially (every 2 years) until the vehicle is 10 years old, and annually thereafter once it exceeds 10 years of age.
The results of the inspection may be:
- Favourable: the vehicle is fit to be driven on public roads. 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 ITV card and provide its owner 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 on public roads. The transfer of the vehicle from the station to its destination must be carried out by means external to the vehicle itself (tow truck).
