In Brief

Spain's DGT issued instruction PROT 2026/04, setting different ITV schedules for motorhomes (M) and campers (N). Motorhomes are exempt for 4 years; campers must pass yearly.

Spain's Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has published instruction PROT 2026/04, which takes effect immediately and replaces the 2023 version, aligning technical inspections (ITV) with criteria from the Ministry of Industry and Tourism.

According to the document, inspection frequency depends on the vehicle category in the technical sheet. Motorhomes (category M) are exempt from ITV for the first 4 years, then every 2 years until 10 years, and annually thereafter. Campers based on vans (category N) must undergo ITV every year from the first year, and after 10 years every 6 months. Source 3 gives a slightly different schedule for N1: every two years from 2 to 6 years, then annually until 10 years, and twice a year after.

Parking rules (no protruding elements) are clarified, and sign S-128 is introduced to mark waste dumping stations.
