I am so confused! I’ve just read on a website that if my mot is up to date I don’t even need an itv anymore in order to import the vehicle! According to this expat website that rule recently changed! 

I love Spain but it’s bureaucracy can be fiendishly complicated!! 

Who’s doing the matriculation of the car to Spanish plates for you? They will be best placed to tell you what you need.

You WILL definitely need a ficha técnica for future ITVs though

Well I’m glad to say I went to Lorca this morning and I required only the V5 document and my NIE Certificate. The testers English and my Spanish were similarly hopeless but we got through and it says ‘ favorable ‘ on the invoice so I’m guessing it’s passed!  They will phone me within a few days and I then pick up the documents. Cost a little over 200 euros.

Brilliant thanks 

Your head lamps will need changing , if it’s a right hand drive , also reversing lights need to be on other side on my Merc it has two so it was ok.
