4 min read
By the Pinchazos Vargas team
In short
Before the ITV (Spain’s periodic vehicle inspection) it is worth checking tyres, brakes, shock absorbers, the exhaust system and lighting. These are common failure points and can be fixed before the inspection.
Checklist before the inspection
Tyres: tread above 1.6 mm and no damage.
Brakes and shock absorbers in good condition.
Exhaust system with no leaks.
All lights working.
No warning lights on the dashboard.
Save time
Fixing a defect before the ITV saves you having to go back another day. With a check beforehand you will know whether your car is ready.
