Vehicle ITV lapsed
Does anyone know what the law says about getting a renewed ITV, after the old one has lapsed? Do I have to tow it to the testing station, low-load it, etc., or is there a provision in the law to allow just one journey, same as UK?

Re: Vehicle ITV lapsed
One thing not allowed in Spain is for a vehicle to be towed (unless a proper garage towing vehicle).
Sorry cannot be more help.

Re: Vehicle ITV lapsed
There is nothing in the relevant law that covers this specific situation, but if you have failed the test you are allowed to drive to a garage for repair and you are allowed to drive it to the ITV station for the subsequent re-test.
Although, if stopped in the situation described by the OP, and you had a prebooked appointment for a test you would be very unlucky to be fined but, technically you could be breaking the law.
As the fine is only €100 and there are no penalty points then it's probably going to be cheaper than paying for a Grua to take you there.

Hi
My ITV station has pre-booked tests BUT the machine that you use to say you have arrived for your pre-booked test ALSO has a question "Have you got an appointment"?
If you say "No" then you can have a same day "cancellation / spare slot for garages and Mechanics".
So I would pop along early and try for one of the non pre-booked slots. I´ve just done precisely that and at 11 o´clock I got given a 2-30 appointment
