Explanation
When a **significant technical modification** is made to a vehicle, it is mandatory to undergo a **technical inspection** at an **ITV station**.

- The **ITV** (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) is the place where these inspections are carried out.
- In addition to periodic inspections according to the type and age of the vehicle, an additional inspection is necessary if a modification has been made or if the vehicle has been involved in an accident that damaged its structure.
Therefore, whenever a significant technical modification is made, it is mandatory to take the vehicle to an ITV station to ensure it complies with safety regulations.
