Spain's Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has clarified technical inspection (ITV) rules for motorhomes. Motorhomes classified as category N vehicles must undergo ITV every six months after reaching 10 years of age, unlike category M motorhomes which remain on an annual schedule. The classification difference CAN double annual inspection costs for owners who previously overlooked this distinction.

The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.
