Dez    Under Spanish law, the fact that it was used as a taxi means for the rest of it ‘s life it must comply with the regulations which,  as you show from,  ************** it must be tested after 2 years and then every year.

I would have thought that it would be compulsory in this case for any dealership to have to disclose the status of the vehicle prior to the sale.  I'm not saying I wouldn't have bought the car, but I would have liked to have known about the early than usual ITV as I could have saved myself €200.

Just found some info on

cochediez (dot) com (forward slash) itv   

(I'm new to the forum and can't post links)

... and it appears to be correct that ex-hire vehicles have to have ITV carried out when 2 years old.

I honestly don't know about all rental cars, he just said that this one was registered in such a way that it required the ITV after 2 years.  I have paid the fine and the car has just gone in for the ITV today.

Yes, it would have been nice if the dealership had told us, particularly as we're not Spanish and don't know how the system works.

I went to the dealership where I bought the car and it transpires that as the vehicle was used as a rental car for 1 year, it was registered as such and is therefore required to undergo the ITV when 2 years old instead of 4.

 

I wish I had known as I could have avoided a rather large fine.  Unfortunately, ignorance is no excuse.

The Hyundai manufacturer's certificate says that it's a Turismo.  Maybe it has been registered incorrectly?

I think I might go to the dealership where I purchased the car to see what they say as I've spoken to the Transport Department twice and they can't give me any information about the registration.

Very good information Marie, thank you!
