A new passenger car, when must it undergo its first roadworthiness inspection (ITV)?
Traffic safety: Rules for the safety of people and cargo, and their identifiers
Explanation
The **ITV** (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) is a periodic check that vehicles must undergo to ensure they are in safe condition to circulate. The frequency of these inspections depends on the type of vehicle and its age.
- For **motor vehicles that can carry up to nine passengers**, such as passenger cars, the **first inspection** must be carried out **four years** after they have been registered.
- After this first inspection, they must undergo the ITV every two years until they are ten years old. From ten years onwards, the inspection is carried out annually.
Therefore, a new passenger car must undergo its first ITV four years after being registered, which makes option 1 the correct answer.
