Hello everybody!  I think I've gleaned from the Internet a car has tohave ITV after four years' registration.  Ours is up for its first renewal1 Jan 2023.  I found out I can register at the ITV centre Estepona and can apply online (goody, that to look forward to!) to make an appointment.  I have two questions:

1)  Do I take the car to a garage first for a       check-over/service?

2)  May I apply in mid-December without         compromising the initial start-date?

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to give me!

Hi Ellie

If the Car has not had a service in the last year, it is advisable to have usual service  and ITV check up. You can take your car earlier than the expiry date.

All you need to know is  in this website below.

You can have the ITV done up to a month prior to expiry, without losing any itv time

spaces fill up, so I’d book early/mid November for an early December date

Hi Elle,

I took my car to the Continental Tyre Garage (Nuematicos Sabinillas)  by the main roundabout in Sabby, their other workshop is next to the new Chinese Restaurant.

They checked the car, booked the MOT, took the car in and gave me the documents all for €75 including fees and some top up work.

All I had to do was take the car to them, pick it up and pay them.

They do mine as well.  The thought of trying to understand all the instructions in Spanish (during the test) isnt worth the stress for me.  Continental has always been more than fair with me I believe. LOL
