How often must ambulances more than 5 years old undergo their roadworthiness test (ITV)?
Traffic safety: Rules for the safety of people and cargo, and their identifiers
Explanation
Ambulances **over 5 years old** must undergo the **Vehicle Technical Inspection (ITV) every 6 months**. This is because they are vehicles that transport people and, due to their intensive use and the importance of their function, they require more frequent inspections to ensure their safety and proper functioning.
In the table of vehicle types and their inspection frequencies, it is mentioned that motor vehicles transporting goods or people must undergo the ITV every 6 months after 10 years. Although ambulances are not specifically listed, their critical function and the fact that they transport people place them in a similar category, requiring semi-annual inspections to ensure they are in optimal condition to operate in emergencies.
