After the approval of law RD563/2017 - www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.ph...OE-A-2017-6512 -, as of 20th May 2018, new ITV regulations will come into force.
The biggest challenge will be the electronic diagnostic checks. Any car sold in Spain after 2000 (petrol) and 2003 (diesel) has to have an OBD II port to have a diagnostic computer plugged in. The ITV will now have code readers which will detect any fault codes stored by the car’s ECU (computer) and if any of them are related to safety systems or engine functionality, your car will fail.
Many people think that if there are no warning lights on the dash, there are no errors, but you may be surprised. Any sensor which fails, even for a second or two, will register a fault, which is stored, so even if your car runs perfectly and has no warnings or symptoms of a fault, you could still fail the ITV.
