In 2026, Spain will face a significant challenge in the field of road safety, as thousands of drivers will need to submit their vehicles and motorcycles to their first Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV) if they were registered in 2022. DEKRA ITV, a leader in the technical inspection sector, has stated that this inspection will be crucial since the date for conducting it will be set according to the vehicle’s license plate, assigning a specific month to each letter range.
According to the schedule from the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), the deadlines for the ITV will be organized as follows: January will be for vehicles with license plates starting from LVV to LWD; February will cover those from LWD to LWR; March will include LWR to LXD, and this pattern will continue until December, when vehicles with plates from MCR to MDF will be processed.
Drivers have several options to verify the exact date of their ITV. They can do this by checking the first letters of their license plate, using the miDGT app, reviewing their registration permit, or directly contacting the nearest ITV station. DEKRA ITV stations offer personalized assistance to make this process quick and efficient.
To ensure that the first ITV is successful, technicians emphasize the importance of reviewing certain aspects before the appointment. It is recommended to check that the vehicle documentation is in order and to perform checks on essential components such as lights, brakes, tires, and fluid levels. Additionally, it is advisable to book an appointment in advance to avoid long waits and ensure that the vehicle’s insurance is valid.
Driving without passing the ITV or with an expired inspection can result in significant financial penalties and legal issues. Meeting these deadlines is not only mandatory but also contributes to ensuring road safety, avoiding further complications.
Among the various options for conducting the ITV, DEKRA ITV stations are recognized for their technical rigor and customer satisfaction. According to Google data, the DEKRA ITV station in Getafe, Madrid, stands out as the highest-rated in Spain, reinforcing confidence in DEKRA as the preferred choice for carrying out vehicle inspections effectively and with a personal touch.
