Who is responsible for having a vehicle’s technical inspection carried out?
Vehicle Documentation
Explanation
The **vehicle technical inspection (ITV)** is a mandatory process that ensures vehicles are in safe condition to circulate. The responsibility for carrying out this inspection falls on the **vehicle owner**. This means that the person listed as the owner of the vehicle must ensure that inspections are conducted on the corresponding dates.
- The owner must ensure that the vehicle passes the technical inspection according to the type of vehicle and its age. For example, two-wheeled mopeds must undergo their first inspection at 3 years and then every 2 years. Other vehicles, such as those transporting up to nine passengers, have different inspection intervals.
- Additionally, if the vehicle undergoes a modification or an accident that damages its structure, the owner must also ensure it passes an additional technical inspection.
In summary, the vehicle owner is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle complies with safety regulations and passes the necessary technical inspections to legally circulate.
