Question 5164

If the result of the inspection performed on your vehicle at an ITV station is unfavorable, will you be allowed to drive on public roads?

  1. No, absolutely not, because the vehicle will be permanently deregistered.
  2. No, except to take it to the repair shop and return to the ITV for a new inspection.
  3. Yes, if the defect observed does not prevent the vehicle from being driven.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, except to take it to the repair shop and return to the ITV for a new inspection.

No, except to go to the repair shop and back to the ITV station. An unfavorable result indicates a serious defect, and the vehicle must not be driven with it, even if the defect does not physically prevent it from being driven. You have a maximum of 2 months to have it repaired and inspected again. The vehicle is not deregistered because of this.
