Question 5670

You have just bought a new passenger car; when are you required to present it for its first mandatory vehicle inspection (ITV)?

  1. Two years after the date of registration.
  2. Four years after the date of registration.
  3. Four years after the date of purchase.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Four years after the date of registration.

4 years after its registration. For ITV purposes, the age of a passenger car for private use is counted from its first registration, shown on the vehicle registration certificate, not from the day you bought it. The 2-year interval applies to later inspections.
