What ITV tests are performed at the ITV appointment Mijas?
After presenting the paperwork at the ITV centre, you wait for your car to be called to a lane. Thereafter they check the headlights first. Then they check the emissions of the car, the tyres including the load of the tyres and the they match. The VIN number, the indicators, the hazards, the beams of the headlights, the washers. Any modifications, the taillights, the fog, the reverse and the hazards again at the back of the car.
Your car is then put on the rolling road where you need to hit the brakes gently until they are at a certain point. Then press the brakes harder which measures the effectiveness of the brakes, this is done for front, back and handbrake. The final part of the test is to drive over the pit where you move the steering wheel side to side and the ITV technician checks your brakes and suspension.
This is some of the processes before you find out if your vehicle has passed the ITV tests. If a fail they tell you why and you have 60 days to put right the failures. The retest is free. Contact us today
ITV appointment online
You may have tried to book an ITV appointment online. The choices maybe very limited. Not only can we book you an ITV appointment online we get the added value of using many other ITV stations other than the ITV appointment Mijas. This means we have the choice and we have good relationships with the staff at the centres. They know us as we take many cars through the test each week. hence, we can sometimes get earlier approvals for your ITV appointment online.
We can start by you making an enquiry to us. We are hearing that trying to book an ITV tests today some dates are coming back as late February / March. This means you may be driving your vehicle illegally in Spain without a valid ITV sticker or certificate. This could get your vehicle impounded by the Spanish police.
What if the ITV fails?
We are happy to help with any repairs that maybe needed to get the ITV tests a positive result. We then provide a service to rebook a failed test and we will do (at cost) the booking of the retest and the retest for you. We work with many qualified and most importantly ‘fair’ mechanics on the Costa del Sol. this enables us to get your vehicle ready for the retest without you getting ripped off.
This is a big deal as there are unfortunately many unscrupulous businesses who might take advantage of the situation. All our mechanics (from Fuengirola to Estepona) are heavily vetted and we would never recommended anyone we do not know or have worked with on a regular basis before.
