I wrote a couple of weeks ago about what to do if the MOT on your UK car runs out while you've got it here in Spain. After extensive research and much mis-information, I advised that you CANNOT get a Gibraltar MOT on a UK-registered car, but you CAN get a Spanish ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos). And today, I proved it! I turned up at the appointed time for my ITV voluntaria, not wholly convinced that I would be successful. As I drove through the testing station responding to the barked instructions of the perito, or technician, everything seemed to be going well. Then suddenly there was a nervous moment when he queried my stuck-on headlight deflectors with his supervisor, but the boss said they were OK, and a short while later I was given my Spanish “MOT” certificate, valid for two years, and my vehicle was legal again ...
