You can order Citra Previa ITV in two ways, by phone or by booking online. In this way, you will avoid long waiting lines when you go to a station.
The technical inspection of the vehicle is something that we all must do at some point to ensure that our car can continue to circulate safely. To avoid long queues and waiting a long time, we are going to show you everything you need to know to get the Previous ITV Appointment, from home and quickly.
This test verifies and approves that a vehicle is in perfect condition to drive on the roads, without compromising the safety of the occupants and that of other road users.
Depending on the vehicle and its age, the ITV will be carried out at a different interval, which becomes a routine process for all drivers.
Actually, it is not necessary to request a Prior Appointment to pass the ITV, but there are two main reasons for doing it through this procedure: first, because the validity period has expired or is about to be done. Depending on the type of vehicle and its age, you will have to pass the ITV every one, two or four years.
The second reason why you should make an appointment at the ITV is to save time and avoid waiting. If you go to the date and time established in your appointment, you will not have to wait for other drivers to pass the test.
How to get Appointment ITV stations
As a general rule, private cars must carry out their first inspection when they are four years old from the first registration. To pass the ITV, you must go to a verification center that approves the conditions of the vehicle.
You can do it in two ways: by phone or by booking online. In the latter case, you just have to choose the date and time you want and then enter the number plate and the registration date or the last digits of the frame.
Whether by phone or online, you should know what stations are available. Before requesting your appointment you should normally indicate:
- Type of vehicle (Car, motorcycle, truck…)
- Vehicle registration number
- Engine type (Gasoline, diesel, ECO or others)
- Type of service (Mandatory inspection or others)
- Station where you want to pass the ITV
- Appointment date and time
- In some cases, pay the corresponding amount (ITV prices vary depending on the autonomous community)
Keep in mind that in many centers you have to make a mandatory appointment in order to pass the Technical Vehicle Inspection. Likewise, although it is not mandatory, it is not advisable to pass the ITV without an appointment.
When passing the ITV, vehicle owners must present the following documentation:
- Technical Inspection Sheet (ITV), in case it has already been passed before.
- Circulation permit.
- Compulsory insurance accreditation (in some cases, it can be verified electronically).
- In some provinces, it will also be necessary to present the ID of the driver of the vehicle.
ITV 2023 prices by communities and type of vehicle
A question that everyone asks before passing the ITV is how much it costs. And the answer is not easy, because each Autonomous Community sets its prices. Therefore, ITV Madrid is not worth the same as ITV Valencia, to cite two examples. This leads some drivers to pass the ITV in a different community to save a few euros.
In addition, the price also varies depending on the type of engine of the car: drivers of diesel vehicles pay a little more than those of an equivalent gasoline vehicle. In turn, motorcycles and mopeds also have different prices than cars.
ITV by license plate: Do you know when to pass the ITV of the car in 2023?
Did you know that there are several ways to know when to pass the ITV? One of them is to check the registration date that appears on the registration certificate to get an idea of when that date might be.
The other way is by checking the license plate: the letters give us a clue as to when you should pass the first ITV with your vehicle. For this reason, we anticipate that if your registration is between the KSS and the LDR, that moment has already arrived or is drawing near!
