Spanish MOT.

[stevejgreen]

The Spanish ITV (MOT) has just been done on one of my cars. In Spain the ITV is contracted out, they do not repair cars, only inspect.
They test on a conveyor belt system, you stay in your car as it moves from station to station.
The final check is the suspension/steering which they do from an inspection pit. Whilst you are in the car. A TV screen alongside shows a picture of what the inspector is looking at. I believe a copy of the video is available if your car fails, so you can take it to a repairer.
Seems like a good idea, but the test is a lot less strenuous than the UK.

Re: Spanish MOT.

Almost the same here a la frog, no conveyor or video, just invited to accompany the tester on his inspection, he points out problems which in the uk would be noted as advisories but here not, its a little frightening as the test is only reqd every 2 years!!
